I think I might have a date? I'm not sure what to do. How do you know if it's a date? I think I've asked this before, but he asked me to dinner so I suppose that it means a date?

And if so, how do you date muggles?

	Pretty much the same way you'd date anyone else. Talk, ask questions, try to figure out if you like them. Just don't mention anything magical. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Don't talk about anything magical. Oh. Oh no, how do I do that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well,just don't mention anything you'd need to use magic to do. You can still say you're a vet, and talk about looking after dogs and cats and things. If you're eating you can use that as a good reason not to talk about the operations and whatever. Don't mention crumple-horned anything. Or any other magical creatures.

	Right. A vet for regular animals. Not talking about magical ones is going to be hard though. Cover it up with eating though and maybe I can pull this off. I'm really nervous. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'd offer a double date to make it easier but I don't know if Ron could hold the cover. He's a bit like his father at times. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Aw thanks Hermione. I definitely understand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Though I can come over and help you with your hair and educate you on hairspray. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	loonacy 2015-06-16 01:44 am UTC (link)
	Oh that would be great! I definitely need help in that area. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I wish I could offer good advice but it's hard being around Muggleborns for me. Different expectations. Just be careful. Muggles are strange. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Warded Private loonacy 2015-06-16 01:44 am UTC (link)
	Strange how? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Warded Private pandacharms 2015-06-16 04:22 am UTC (link)
	Different ideas about things. No sense of tradition, at least the ones we're familiar with. I also hate hiding my magic -- it's so much a part of me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Warded Private loonacy 2015-06-16 04:42 am UTC (link)
	I admit that I haven't met many of them, so I'm not sure. I don't like hiding my magic either. But I fear that if I don't do this, I'll never get to have a date ever. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Warded Private pandacharms 2015-06-16 06:24 am UTC (link)
	Well, don't compromise yourself for this person. I don't normally do this, but here are the digits to my cellular phone I use for one of my jobs and my addreas, which is in Muggle London. If you need a quick, non magic escape, call or come over. I know you don't really know me, but it's best to have a back up that won't get you in trouble with the Ministry.

	Warded Private loonacy 2015-06-17 12:18 am UTC (link)
	I won't. If I don't like them, then I don't like them. Thank you, that puts me a little at ease if I need to get away. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	knowhow 2015-06-15 01:48 pm UTC (link)
	Seamus is right - it shouldn't be that different from dating a witch or wizard. I don't really date, so I'm not sure how much help I can be at this stage. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	loonacy 2015-06-16 01:45 am UTC (link)
	I really hope so. I've never had a date before at all, so at least you're in good company. Thanks anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Dating a muggle is fairly easy if you can remember to keep the lies straight. Don't date too many at the same time, though... It gets complicated. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	loonacy 2015-06-17 12:18 am UTC (link)
	I've never dated anyone before, so I guess I won't have that problem. But I don't like lying.. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	olliewood_ 2015-06-17 02:02 am UTC (link)
	I know what you mean, lying doesn't really sty well with me either, which is the main reason I've never seriously dated a muggle. Feels bad to lead them on. You'd never dated anyone? Why not? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	loonacy 2015-06-17 03:38 am UTC (link)
	Maybe it will be too much and that will be that. I guess I won't know until I try. I've never gotten the courage to ask, and no one's ever been interested in me in return. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	olliewood_ 2015-06-17 04:18 am UTC (link)
	Exactly, all you have to do is try. Ah, I doubt no one has ever been interested. You're an interesting girl, but you can be a bit intimidating. I bet the guys were just too nervous to ask. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	loonacy 2015-06-17 05:34 am UTC (link)
	I'm certainly going to. I don't know how I'm intimidating, but maybe. If anyone's ever been interested, they've never asked me. I've never done anything with a boy, or anyone else for that matter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, I don't know you terribly well, but from what I do know is you're quite clever and very keen. Us guys are idiots are get nervous around that because we like to be the swooned after ones, and if the girl is hard to impress it makes us nervous. Not to mention you have strong opinions and not afraid to voice them, which can make some guys nervous.

Not saying any of this is bad! I'd definitely take a clever girl who can hold a conversation and articulate her reasoning over some dumb pretty thing any day, but I would be lying if I said that kind of girl makes me a bit nervous too.

Well, if you've never done anything just go at a pace that is comfortable for you; don't let him talk you into something you're uncomfortable with. If he won't like you because you're 'too slow' then he's a wanker and not worth your time.

	That's very kind of you to say. I don't know that I'm hard to impress. In fact I think I'm pretty easy to impress. I like things. But I suppose you're right about my opinions. Whatever the reason, I've never been on a date or anything else. Well until now, so at least I can say I had one - even if I don't have any more after this. I'll remember that.
