Summarize the following:
The place of the date definitely sets the tone for the date. If you are trying to be more romantic and lavish, reserve a table at a fancy restaurant. If you want to be more casual, consider taking her out for ice cream or to a casual bar.  If you do decide to go for the casual date, be sure the place won't be too crowded. You don't want to have to deal with the frustration of waiting in line for the entire time. It can also make it difficult to talk if the place is too crowded If you decide to go for the fancy date, be sure the items are within your price range. It is silly to spend hundreds of dollars on a first date if you don't have the money for it. Generally, it is a good idea to pick her up from her house because it shows that you really care about the date. This will also give you a chance to talk on the way. It is an especially good place to ask her about her music tastes since you will be able to easily play music in your car. If you would like to be romantic, buy her flowers and give them to her when you pick her up. It is a nice gesture and shows that you have been thinking about the date for a while.  Roses are always a good choice if you are unsure of which type of flower to buy. If you feel this is too forward or old-school, skip it. It is key to make sure you dress appropriately for the occasion.  If you're going to a fancy restaurant, wear nicer clothes than if you were taking her to a movie and ice cream. Take a shower, fix your hair, put on deodorant and cologne, brush your teeth, carry gum, wear a nice clean shirt, pants, and shoes, and don't forget to shave your face. Your time and effort in your looks will let her know that you care. If you are unsure of what to wear for where you are going consider these different dress codes:   Casual: This is what you would likely wear if you were getting ice cream, going to the park or to a bar. Check out our article on how to dress casual. A good outfit could be a polo, nice jeans or khakis, and reasonably nice shoes.  Semi-formal: This is a good option for dinner and a movie at a nice restaurant and theater. Check out our article on how to dress semi-formally. Try to wear clothes that you reserve for nicer occasions, instead of everyday street wear. Getting stood up is no fun for anyone, so try to make sure it doesn't happen. This will also show her that you have been thinking about the date and that you want to make sure it happens. Sending a quick "Looking forward to seeing you at 7" should be sufficient. Checking your phone for texts or emails during the date will show her that you do not truly care about the date. It sends the message that she is not as important as your phone. If you are expecting an important call, tell her beforehand.

summary: Figure out where you want to take your date. Decide whether or not to meet her at the place or pick her up from her house. Consider buying her flowers. Look good. Consider messaging her before the date to confirm. Put your phone on silent.


Summarize the following:
When meeting a royal person, it's important you offer a bow or a curtsy. This is considered a formality, especially when meeting a member of the British royal family.  If you're male, you should do a neck bow. This simply means bowing by nodding your head. If you're female, do a small curtsy. This means dipping your body downward slightly by bending your knees. These are among the highest ranking types of royalty, so be sure to address them properly. Emperors, kings, and queens should all be addressed differently.  When referring to an emperor, you would refer to him or her as "His/Her Imperial Majesty, Emperor of (Name of Country)"; when addressing one, replace "His/Her" with "Your". When referring to a king, say, "His Majesty, the King." When addressing a queen, say, "Your Majesty, my Queen." As these are generally the second highest ranking royals, be sure to address them properly. Princes and princesses must be addressed differently.  For a prince, say, "His Royal Highness, Prince of (Name of Country)." For a princess, say, "Her Royal Highness, Princess of (Name of Country)." There are also formal titles required here. When meeting a duke or a duchess, a formal greeting is necessary.  For a duke, say, "His Grace, the Duke of (Name of Country)." For a duchess, say, "Her Grace, the Duchess of (Name of Country)." There are various other forms of lower ranking royalty, such as barons, knights, marquees, earls, and countesses. There are proper titles for these people as well that must be used when you address them.  Some titles are simple. For example, a knight is simply addressed as "Sir" followed by his name, and a knight's wife is addressed as "Lady," followed by her name. The same is true for baronets and their wives. Royal people that fall between knights and baronets and positions like king and queen are usually addressed as, "The Right Honorable," followed by their name. A marquee, for examples, would be addressed as "The Right Honorable."
summary: Give a head bow or a curtsy. Choose the proper greeting for emperors, kings, and queens. Call princes and princesses by the proper title. Select the right term for dukes and duchesses. Make sure you know the proper titles for lower ranking royalty.
