Hey! I’m a new writer for Deko & Posh's blog, and every Saturday I'll be writing “Connections” or, in other words, everything you want to know about teen dating ;) I actually found Deko and Posh through my other blog "Behind this Mask" (sweetgrass1748.blogspot.com). So firstly, a little about me: You can call me Mariposa, and I’m a teenager stuck in that point of life where I’m trying to figure out what I want to do with college/my life.As for things I like to do, I’m a black belt in Taekwondo, I’m a figure skater, I swim, bike, run, and even go camping. On the other hand, I’m a singer, enthusiastic about writing, have a passion for music, and like dancing, art, acting, modeling & fashion. Besides that, I think writing this column going to be a lot of fun & I look forward to getting to know all of you, readers!
To start you off on teen dating, here are some tips for that first date:
1. Do something fun. Do something that you’ll both enjoy, yet something that will also give you the chance to talk/know each other better.
2. Don’t pick up your cell phone unless you really need to.
3. Be polite. Guys, some girls really like it when you open doors for them. Girls, guys usually like it when you tell them what a great time you had.
4. Be confident. If you’re nervous, just remember the other person is probably just as nervous, or more.
5. Talk & listen. Don’t just talk about yourself during your date – ask the other person questions about themselves, even if it’s as simple as, “What’s your favorite color?" However, if the date turns into just question & answer, then you need to change. Go into why it’s your favorite color. Or, in other words, add on to your answer – it’s the art of conversation.
6. Be yourself. Because in the end, that’s who you want that other person to fall in love with – yourself – not someone you pretend to be. If the other person doesn’t love you for who you are, then that’s his or her loss. Because who you are in the inside is what makes you beautiful, unique, and different from any other person.

Just wondering,
