Pit tried to remember back on what he had been coached about all those years ago. What stuck with him? What had he been afraid to expect?

"Let's see... I remember being new to this, too. I was worried about having to instantly form a relationship with the person I was dating when I wasn't ready for a huge step like that in my life. I mean, there are romantic undertones for sure, but it doesn't have to mean anything serious! It's mostly just... a candlelit dinner where you sit down and get to know someone better." At this point he began to list things off on his fingers, like he was recalling a list, though he wasn't doing anything of the sort except thinking backwards. "Ask questions about them, just like any old casual conversation. Be respectful, talk as well as listen, and if things just aren't working out- your date is a monster, wants to eat you, keeps flirting with you in really inappropriate ways, whatever! It's perfectly okay to leave early. Is there anything else you need to know?"
