Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conflicting schemas of a date refer to their individual beliefs and expectations of what a first date should entail, including the appropriate attire. Rhianna might have expected that Michael would dress up for the occasion, while he might have believed that a casual outfit was suitable. Therefore, their schemas of a first date were different, leading to a misunderstanding.
