Dear GirlShrink,
Kayy…so I just got my first boyfriend three days ago, but we haven’t been on a date yet. I’m kinda scared since I don’t see him in person all that much (we go to different schools) but I talk to him alot on msn. And on msn he asked me out to the movies, AND on msn he keeps saying I can’t wait for that date so I can hold you and kiss you…I’m like AHHHHH!!!! I was thinking of bringing a friend or two to the movies with me so it could be like a group thing, but what if that gets awkward too?

Dear Kat,This is all really new for you and while I am not sure of your age, I would say that you are old enough to trust your instincts. If you are not yet comfortable being alone or one-on-one with your boyfriend — then you should absolutely invite a few friends to come along to the movie. Your boyfriend shouldn’t mind. You two will still be together. I personally think that it is much easier to get to know a guy when you are in a group situation. You can talk to him, you can see how he gets along with others, you can get an idea of what your friends think of him and vice-versa. I think that you will get a much bigger idea of who he is on a group date, and of course there is always time to be alone with him on later dates. So that’s my two cents — just have a good time, and enjoy your first relationship. You will remember it all your life:-)
