I. Directions: Read each paragraph carefully then answer the questions that follow.
A first date can end up being categorized as successful, a clingy, a boastful or awkward. Successful
first dates include both parties expressing information about what they like who they are, and so
forth. Usually, these dates will end in tentative plans for a second one. Clingy dates end up with one
of the parties practically begging for information about the other. However, the non-clinger is not
interested. ON boastful dates, one member of the duo talks about all of his or her skills, talents, and
abilities. The listening end of the pair is never asked about his or her life. Awkward first dates
generally involve lots of silence or one or both of the partners not knowing how to act appropriately.
