Things to talk about...

Well, if you go there with some rehearsed conversations, it might be kind of awkward. If you click with someone, the conversation should flow after a while, although you'll probably both be nervous at first. Maybe find out what bands she's in to and talk about those? Or if she's in your year, talk about exam results, as it's something you'll have in common, even if it's not something you particularly want to discuss.

O.k. Start off with the easy ones TV shows, films, books, music, gigs etc... then see where it goes...Exams would be an obvious one at this time of year.

The best advice I can give is get her talking about herself...all people love to do this so if you can get her to talk about herself she'll think your really interested in her and you'll go up in her estimation.

This is actually true of anyone, just ask lots of Who, Where, What, When, Why and How questions. A good example is to ask her about her holidays, ask her where she went, what she did, who she went with, Why she went there, How much did she like it etc...Just remember to resist the temptation to talk about yourself too much (all people have this)

Most importantly with a girl and this is serious, every so often when she's talking make little "mm-hm" noises and nod your head and obvoisuly look at her when she's talking. It's a little guesture that let's her know your actually listening to what she's saying and not just thinking of what to say next. Women need to hear this every so often but men aren't accustomed to doing it so you'll have to remember that it's important.

Also don't play with your hair, don't say "um" or "err" to much, sound confident in everything you say. Laugh at her jokes but not too much, a chuckle is sufficient. Always offer to get the first round in, even if it's only Coke and chips and don't be pursuaded otherwise no matter how much she insists, if it comes to it tell her she can get the next lot in.

When you first see her, compliment her, not in a general "you look great" way, but pick something specific, generally you can't go wrong with shoes or hair, pick one and tell her how good it looks but don't go overboard or she'll think you gay.

If at any point there's an awkward silence that's getting worse, nip it in the bud as soon as you can. Just say anything, talk about something you saw on the news, read in a paper, anything to get the conversation moving again.

Have just realised I'm sounding like a dad now so will stop.

Sometimes here, sometimes not.

well i could act a loon and say talk about different sex positions. but you have to save that until later in the night.

dont tell her you run a scott mills fansite or let her know this place exists becuase she will see you as a nark and leg it. i presume you are going to see a film i haven't been told much about this and info is scattered. well you can talk about that, talk about some of your old faveorite bands. tell her some of the mad things your freinds (if you have encountered any) have done in the past. and mabie make her laugh with some of the chrazy stuff you have done in the past. yes you might feel a little foolish but making girls laugh is a big key, use the flash wipes saga if you need to but if you have done anything like shutting a dog in a garage for 4 days on purpose then dont say it. becuase you dont want to sound too much of a fool.

just keep her amused, buy her things if need be. if you see somthing humorus just mention it and make use of it to make her laugh. it is crazy you cant plan anything, i dont know how i do it but i have always found things to talk about. being funny is great i left a girl in stitches once when i left her to head home and i dont class myself as funny really. mabie she was laughing at me who knows but if that were the case she was mad enough to go out with me.

then take her to ann summers.

on the grid.

Somehow I think you're the one quite desperate. The poor guy has to change his name from Aaron to Ryan and register under different aliases. That seems, to me, more of an issue. Least we have your hilarious posts.

That was partly why she liked me

Just make sure you dont talk about Scott to much as you may come across you are more interested in Scott's company than you are hers, and ofcourse she may text "getmeoutofhere" :razz:

I've never seen you so desperate for posts... trying to up your rating are you?

I doubt it, because posts in this area won't add to your postcount.

Anyway, I'd like to reiterate Geezer's point: Don't overdo the Scott Mills talk, because past a point it will be too much for her. But I guess this advice is a bit late anyway, because you're probably there already. Hopefully you'll be going on a second date soon though :)

      I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right!

      Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!

      Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.

      If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.

      The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!

      What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
