The Dating World.

Okay so in preparation for my date tomorrow, I've been reading articles from magazines about the Dos and Don'ts about first dates. From what I've gathered the Dos are:

• be yourself
• wear something comfortable
• don't wear heels cause you don't know if you'll do a lot of walking
• hair down sends a better message then an updo
• natural makeup

Don'ts:

• wear an outfit you've never worn before
• talk about exs or sex
• mindlessly babble or complain about your life
• drink too much

So what I've gathered is too appear just enough of you to keep them interested, but don't let them know about any of your crazy... So my question is, what are you supposed to do when they ask a question, that can't be answered without talking about one of the things you're not supposed to? Or how do you go out to drinks without drinking too much? And how much is too much? 2 drinks? 4 drinks?

When I'm not worrying about "dating rules" I'm worrying about what to wear, how to do my hair, what shoes, how much make up...I want to wear heels (my foot will probably kill), but I'm worried I'll seem too tall. And then I worry if he walks me to my car, will he care that I drive a minivan? I worry that I'll say something stupid, or better yet have that awkward moment of silence when I have no idea what to say. And I'm worried about how to cover my disgusting foot because both flats and heels will show it. Sneakers are not date shoes and I don't know if I can get my foot into a pair of boots. Plus are boots summer wear? Ugh. I have no idea what to wear, I think a dress is a good bet, but they're all a little short. Skirts are a definite no go, way too short. It's too hot for pants...dresses it is then. And I'm freaking out/babbling for no reason. It's a date. One date. Ugh.

Teaching my first class.

So I'm home from my first time teaching and besides my foot pounding (I broke it open again a little, uh) I feel like I did a good job. The girls were a little nervous and didn't talk the entire time, but they seemed to enjoy it. We did  a combination to "Baby" by Justin Bieber and we'll be continuing it on Thursday. I realized that what I thought seven year olds could handle is not what seven year olds can handle. I need to simplify things more then I had thought to. It was only a 45 minute class, but I found myself wondering how I'd make it through it. There came a point during the class when I teaching the combo that I thought they weren't enjoying it so I told them to lip sync the song. I swear I did more cheesey facial expressions during that then I have done in all my cruise line auditions. Prehaps next audition I'll pretend I'm teaching children. Today's class was Hip Hop and in 2 weeks I'll be teaching modern, which will hopefully calm me down a little. I also have an interview with a studio in Westborough on Monday and I'm scheduling another intereview with one in Scituate. Both these studios are like an hour away from me, but I'm actually looking forward to interviewing there. Am I falling in love with teaching or just happy at the possibilty of being employed?
