First date advice. Would you mind helping this fellow?

It's not really a date but she did say it was fine to see her tonight for a little while. Yesterday she mentioned she broke up with her boyfriend (Yes!!) so I don't know how to approach this situation. Tonight I will go and see her but I haven't the slightest clue as to what to do. Should I invite her to some fireworks show or maybe just be with her. What about giving her flowers? The one topic I wish to avoid is for her to focus on her recent breakup but yet I don't want to be insensitive to her feelings cause most likely she's feeling a little down. My goal for tonight with her is for both of us to have decent fun and maybe leave the door open for a real first date outing. I want her to feel good being with me. Any expert advice you can give me?First date advice. Would you mind helping this fellow?
I think you should make everything VERY casual. Dont try to over do anything (if shes not calling it a date, be sure you dont call it that either). A good idea for this evening would be getting some pizza then going to check out fireworks together. Boost her confidence by complimenting her when you first meet up(this also lets her know you are interested), but dont stand there staring and drooling, it will just make the situation uncomfortable. Take it slow, I dont think shes in a hurry. Let her take her time to get to know you and hopefully she will see you as a person she would like to date. GOOD LUCKFirst date advice.

Just keep it casual. She's probably not looking to date quite yet, if she just broke up. Asking her to go to a fireworks show with you is an excellent idea. And she probably will want to talk about the break up some, but if you're there for her and support her, she will really appreciate it and it will help you in the future. Girls often form feelings for the people they rely on in hard times. I wouldn't try anything to date-ish as of yet. But just keep the door open and make sure she knows you're there.
ok if u really want to be her friend give her sometimes to relax and be calm. don't mention anything about her breakup. just take her to a firework shows. but i mean if u want to be her friend u shouldn't let it turn into a date bcuz what if she broke up with u and she never talked to u again. good luck
expert? probably not. Well intentioned? for sure. Fireworks is a great way to spend some time. I wouldn't bring HIM up..let her, listen, be supportive, maybe it will give you some insight into what she wants/does not want...


have fun
The fireworks show sounds like a good idea. You don't need the flowers yet, save those for your first 'real' date with her.
u shuld tak her to c firwrks!1 lol n ur gana hav to bring up the topic of her ex..its gud bcus she'll tell u how she feels n she trusts u.. if shes over him then yay for you lol no flowrs!! too soon!! its jus the first date!! n act lyk urself..:)
Dude, girls just like to talk. Shut up and listen to her and nod, and pretend you give a crap about what she's saying. Tell her up front that she can talk about anything she wants but that you don't think it's good for her to talk about the ex boyfriend thing, and frankly, you don't want to hear it.





That's as close as you're gonna get the day after she broke up with her boyfriend.





End of the evening, peck on the cheek, ask her out again, next time, make it a busy and happy activity thing and make her laugh. A lot. Be charming and funny.





You direct the dates. You have the ideas. None of this wimpy ';I dunno, what do you wanna do'; wussy stuff. Be the man and direct the date.





So stage one: shut up and listen.


Stage two: Make her laugh


Stage three: Direct the date.





Obviously, you direct that second date to exactly where you want it, if you're paying attention and feeling like it can go there.





Pay attention to not fall into the ';friend zone'; where she talks to you like you're one of her girlyfriends. That's where you'll stay if you let that happen. (and it will happen that first night if you let her talk about the ex).





If you haven't closed (whatever that means for you, man) by the end of the third date--you're in the friend zone. Yell ';Next'; and move on.





Be a man. Make us proud. Go get her.
yes, totally invite her over for fireworks - but no flowers yet. she'll think you're taking it too fast - play it out a little, make her wonder what you'll do next! girls love that... wait for the third or fourth date for flowers..k? because then she'll think you're really sweet and cute, which will just make her want to be around you more. and don't freak if you find out that she is totally obsessed w/ you and writes your name on every page in a notebook because that's what we do when we're bored. and if you do know, tell her it's ok and you just think it's cute or something like that.
You sound like a real sweet guy, considering her feelings like that. What I would do, regarding her new breakup, is not mention it yourself. Wait for her to bring it up, and when she does, let her talk about it if she wants. Don't be too pushy about it, cause then it reads as if you are waiting to pounce and be her next boyfriend. As far as flowers? if you want, you could bring a daisy (small, I know, but its a summery flower and not too big/flashy.) You could be all ';I was on my way over here and I saw this outside and I though of you.'; If its just a small daisy, thats cute, not like ';Oh my gosh I love you'; ya feel me? =) Now as far as what to do during your evening together: Be prepared, bring a blanket. Know a spot to go see fireworks. She might want to, or she might not want to. Its totally up to what she feels like, and I'm not sure what that is lol, but just be ready to take her to see some.


I am also going to give you some words of advice for you personally too. Since she broke up with her old guy recently, and I am guessing you really like her, you are thinking/wanting to be that next guy. Thats a great place to head eventually, but protect your heart, do not let yourself be her rebound guy. In the aftermath of a failed relationship, people can do that whole rebound thing and you might get hurt, and thats not good or fair to you =( So be her friend, and let your intentions be known in small, simple, cute ways that aren't overwhelming at first. Give her a little time and continue hanging out with her in a variety of settings. (coffee, movies, picnics, hanging out at one of your houses etc)


Good luck!
