I remember when I first started dating this girl, I taught her how to snowboard. Haha I know I made a lot of mistakes, but some things that I learned were:
- Look them in the eyes and smile while you're teaching her how to balance while doing a slow stop down the hill. She'll begin to really trust you.
- I think taking breaks sitting down and chilling is a huge thing. I mean, technically it's a date, so you don't have to talk snowboarding the entire time. In other words, try not to go too far into teacher mode.
- Getting into a mini snowball fight is always a good time
- Mess around and fall down a little, it makes her feel a little less bad about the pain she's no doubt going through.
- The moment she starts feeling comfortable actually snowboarding, downhill snowball fights are the best.
