As you begin to hear the familiar melody of the music from Grease playing in your head, I bet you are also imaging how you can find your very own “Danny” to really shake up your summer. And then, once you find him, what are you going to do?! Well, have no fear because I am here to give you a heads up on the do’s and do not’s of summer lovin’ from the wonderful ladies on Kirkwood’s and the University’s campuses!
1) Do meet new guys.
Sandy and Danny met for the very first time during the summer at the beach, which just goes to show that summer is the perfect opportunity to get to know somebody new. You have very little responsibility in comparison to the school year, so the next time you spy a cutie from across the room, do not just stand there! Go over and talk to him!
2) Do Not assume anything.
Sandy assumed that Danny would want to be in a relationship with her when they were suddenly reunited at Rydell High, but Danny gave mixed messages when he tried to act cool for his fellow Greasers. You have all heard about summer love being just a fling, but can it be something more? Of course it can! But until you talk about it with your new cutie, do not assume he wants anything long term.
3) Do plan super cute dates.
We all watched as Danny drove that T-bird to the drive in. Take a road trip, go to the movies, cook dinner together, go for a walk, or get really creative and do something completely unique! Just have fun!
4) Do Not make unhealthy decisions.
Sandy showed Danny what’s what when she stopped him in the midst of a heated make out session while at the drive in. If she can do it, so can you. Whatever you do this summer is up to you, but do not let one summer determine the rest of your life. Make sure to take care of yourself, that means your health and your heart.
5) Do let yourself fall.
Danny tried to resist, but, as we all know, little could stop him from falling for Sandy. Do not be afraid to take some chances this summer! If you are nervous about a new relationship, now is the best time to dip your toes in the water and get a feel for this new romance.
6) Do Not grow to a level of obsession.
The Greasers chased after girls often in public places, and, quite obviously, it did not do them any good. Believe it or not, texting, calling, and the 3rd degree are not very endearing to anyone, especially the guy you are trying to get to know. This might scare him off and end whatever could have been. So just relax, take a few good, deep breaths, and go with the flow of a new love.
These are only a few do’s and do not’s to get you started. Now as you turn on the movie, Grease, like you have wanted to do this whole time, think about these guidelines and get ready to have the best summer EVER!
