Teen Dating Tips: My First Ever Approach
You Never Know What Will Happen
This is a teen dating tips story about my first approach. The intention of this story is to show you that it doesn’t matter what your pre-approach thoughts are, it is infinitely more important to approach her then not to.
Where I Was In My Life
I would have been about 16 years old. I was a complete novice. I had never received any teen dating tips from anyone. I went to an all boys school and only had brothers. Being around girls was completely foreign to me. I had no idea how to approach women, let alone try to pick one up. Any teen dating tips would have been helpful.
The Setting For My First Approach
For the long weekend two friends and I decided to go camping. To get around the small country town, we would ride our bicycles.After pitching our tent we noticed that next to us was a group of girls our age. They were participating in an international leadership action program called the Duke Of Edinburgh. As part of their program, they needed to cycle around the country side. As is the case, we wanted to meet the girls. For hours we sat around our camp fire trying to figure out how we could meet them. The tension grew every minute we didn’t approach. We knew, as men, it was up to us to approach the girls. The thought of the approach terrified us and it was getting harder to build up the courage to do so.
The Approach
Eventually I couldn’t stand it anymore. The guys had to do something. None of my friends had enough courage to make the move, so I decided that I would. I had no idea what I was going to say, I just decided to go up to the girls.My heart was beating what seemed like a million beats. It felt as if my heart was about to fall from my body. As I walked to their campsite, another of my friends decided that he would follow close behind. Time seemed to stop. Eventually I got to their campsite. They were sitting around their fire. I have no idea what I said. What I do remember was that the first few words that came out of my mouth offended my friend. He hit me over the head and told me that I couldn’t say that. How embarrassing, my first approach. My wing totally embarrassed me in front of the girls. I just wanted to hide. In that moment the girls didn’t matter anymore.
What Happened
I don’t even recall their response. What did happen was that they were responsive. Minutes later the boys were sitting in the girls camp. We were getting to know each other. The girls were from a girls school just up the road from our school. The next day we were riding to the next town with this group of girls. Friendships were made. At the end, numbers were exchanged.
The Aftermath
But that was not the end of it. A few weeks later, my best friend and I were invited to their school dance. We accepted. And when we arrived, we were in great demand. The girls were still too young. They had started to become interested in boys, but didn’t quite know how to meet them. (They were from an all girls school).
The Reward
By the end of the evening I had had my first proper kiss. I also ended up dating her and she become my first romantic girlfriend. We spent time together and she would catch a bus to my bus stop so we could catch the bus together to school. The relationship lasted about 6 months. But from this relationship came my 2nd girlfriend. One of her friends that caught the bus together.
Conclusion
Despite being a complete novice and having never received any teen dating tips, had I not approached a group of girls at the campsite, it would have taken me longer to start my dating life. It’s better to start approaching women when you are still a teen then when you are in your 30’s.The bottom line is, you don’t need any teen dating tips, you just need to go out and do it. It doesn't matter what you do, just do it now, even if it is just starting with online dating websites.
Final thoughts
In hindsight, it is easy to see the positive that came out of this approach. What I remembered was the embarrassment from being hit over the head. It would take another 20 years before I would tackle this issue.The way we interpret events in our lives determines our future. Should you interpret it positively, then you will have a bright future, or if you see the negative, then you will continue to struggle through life.
