Q: Michael, your 팬 want to know your ideas about a first date!
MJ: On a first date, I like to bring a girl over to my house for a barbeque and a swim, especially on a warm summery evening! I know that some chicks get mad if 당신 don't take them somewhere fancy and spend alot of money on them on a date, but I'm not interested in those kinds of girls. I want someone who I can feel comfortable with just sitting and talking to, 또는 sharing a fun, casual time with! I'm not sayin' that we wouldn't ever go out. I 사랑 to go out to movies, concerts, and restaurants, but I think it's important to know one another on a first date, and 당신 can't if 당신 go to watch somethin' all night!
Q: Are 당신 a 'gentleman' on a date?
MJ: I never gave it much thought. Opening doors for girls is something that I just do automatically without thinking, like scratchin' my head when it itches! When you're taught all your life to do polite things for girls, 당신 just can't forget it! It's 초 nature to you, like breathing 또는 tapping your feet to music!
Q: How do 당신 feel about 키싱 on a first date?
MJ: I can dig it! I think that if 당신 dig a chick enough to ask her out, you're crazy if 당신 don't want to 키스 her. And, if she accepted the date, she likes 당신 and probably wants to be kissed. So, I couldn't think of any reason why 당신 shouldn't! I think I'd like to wait 'till the end of the 날짜 before I kissed her, though! I think most girls are afraid you're comin' on too fast if 당신 키스 them right away. But, if I could tell that chick I was with was just waitin' to be kissed, I wouldn't mess around wastin' time! I'd take her in my arms, bend her face back to rest on the back of her seat, and slowly lean toward her, gazin' into her eyes and talking in a slow, smooth voice. Then, I'd press my lips against hers, gently at first, then harder and harder until we're both 로스트 in a soul 키스 of true love.
Q: How do 당신 feel about honesty between a guy and a girl?
MJ: I think that bein' honest with one another is important when you're gettin' serious with a chick, and don't want to have her goin' out with other guys. 당신 have to be loyal and true to one another, 또는 your 사랑 will never last! But, when you're dating lots of chicks, and the chicks 당신 날짜 go with other guys, honesty isn't so important. Don't get me wrong, though! I don't think lyin' to someone is ever a good 또는 a smart thing to do! But, as long as 당신 haven't made any promises to each other, 당신 have the right to keep some things for yourself! For instance, if you've been dating a chick on and off and she dates other guys, and she asks 당신 where 당신 were when she phoned your house and didn't get an answer, I don't think it's any of her business to know 당신 were out with a different girl! I don't think I have the right to pry into her life either!
Q: What would 당신 do if 당신 fell in 사랑 with a girl who was going steady with someone else?
MJ: Well, if I knew from the beginning that she was going with another guy, I probably wouldn't 날짜 her, no matter how much I wanted to! But, if I didn't know she was going steady, and I found out after I fell in 사랑 with her, I think I'd be pretty mad! Even if I thought that she didn't do it to be cruel, and was just too scared to tell him her true feelin's, I think I'd tell her in a kind, understanding way, to figure out what she was gonna do, and come back after she'd done it.
Q: Michael, what do 당신 admire in others?
MJ: I admire people who are really dedicated to their 음악 and to entertaining people! That's why I admire Sammy Davis Jr, and hope to be like him when I grow up! He's a super professional, who puts a spell over his audience like some kind of magician. Singin' and dancin' his 심장 out to give his audience a thrill they'll never forget. It takes many years to get like that, and that's my goal.
Q: What is the one thing 당신 dislike in a person?
MJ: I guess it's conceited, snobbish people that really bother me! Some people are very egotistical, and think they're better than everyone else! They're always talkin' about themselves, and can't listen to 당신 when you're trying to tell them something about yourself. They keep looking around to see if someone's lookin' at them, instead of looking directly at you, listening to what you're sayin'! It's like talking to a stone wall. When I meet a chick like that, I just turn off right away!
Q: Here's a hard 질문 - what one thing in your personality would 당신 change if 당신 could?
MJ: Well, my Mom says that I'm a procrastinator, which means that I put off things I don't want to do. I know that it's better to get things out of the way as soon as 당신 can, like cleaning your room, 또는 doing your chores but sometimes I have a hard time gettin' around to them and keep putting them off!

One promise I'll make for 당신 for sure is that if I win 별, 스타 Magazine's Superstar of '72 election, I'm gonna be so happy that I'll grab 당신 wherever and whenever we meet, and give 당신 a big 키스 to thank 당신 for bein' my 팬 and for giving me your vote!
