Quiz

Nick: What's your ideal date situation?

Cheryl: What's my ideal date?

Nick: Well, I think I would want the guy first of all to make a plan for everything. He should plan the date, and not rely on me to make the suggestions because I think it's very nice and attractive when a guy makes the first move and makes the plans.

Secondly, I would probably want him to drive me around to the places, or would could go on public transportation together, as long as he has a plan it's OK.

And thirdly, he should pay for the date.

Nick: Pay for the date?

Cheryl: Yes, he should pay for the date because it is his pleasure to take out a girlon a date. Of course, the date should also be very fun. It should not be boring, and it should end with a kiss on the cheek if it goes well. If it doesn't go well, then the guy should behave respectfully and say goodbye.

Nick: Good luck finding a guy like that.

Cheryl: Thank you.

I was too nervous to make the first move so nothing happened.
She made the first move and grabbed his hand.
