[There's a reason why this is anonymous.

Already regretting his decision, Eustace grimaces in disgust typing this hideous thing. But he doesn't want bothersome questions about himself and [redacted], and he knows he's out of his element here. Since he doesn't know anyone personally to ask and he definitely doesn't want [redacted] to see it, he's just going to cover all his tracks and inflict self-torture as he channels someone from his world to pretend as. thanks Beatrix he hates this so much]

Make it special. People really like it when you dress up and make kind of a production of it. Be more attentive and maybe bring a gift.

Most of all, just relax. Dating's awkward, but it's not a big deal really, especially if you already know this person and like them.

[flamekthunder]

a production, huh...

but wouldn't it be bad to overdo it?

[velocityraptor]

A little, but when you're taking someone out they want to feel special. Like you're doing something just for them, which means you should plan something around the kinds of things they like specifically.

Although admittedly, there's some universal things that usually work, like a nice dinner if you're really stuck.

[flamekthunder]

yeah, that's one of the top suggestions!!

but now that i think about it, dragon's gale will be for couples, too. i'll have to think of something so it won't be crowded 🤔🤔🤔

[Which is actually going to be him avoiding busy restaurants like the plague...still, though, it's making him think a bit.]

[velocityraptor]

If you want to have a meal, but don't want to be somewhere crowded, how about trying a picnic?

Eating outside is fun, even on the ground.

[flamekthunder]

yeah!! someone suggested a picnic and i think i might do that!

could even make it together 🤩🤩

[velocityraptor]

Especially if they like cooking, yeah, that's probably a great idea.

Good luck with your date, I'm rooting for you!

[flamekthunder]
