First Date Do's And Dont's
First Date Do's And Don'ts
First dates are scary. Most people hate the idea of having to go
on a first date. Will you like them? Will they like you? What do
I talk about? It feels more like a job interview than a date.
Here are some basic tips to make your first date with that
special someone run a little more smoothly.
DON'T Talk About An Ex Or Past Relationship
Nobody wants to know about all the juicy details of your last
relationship; that's something you save for much, much further
down the line. Talking about other people you were once with can
cause jealousy, or make the other person think you're still
emotionally in that relationship, and turn them off.
DO Smile!
Smiling always sends a positive vibe out to people you're with,
and you want your date to think you're happy. By frowning the
whole time they might see you as a negative person who isn't fun
to be with. So smile, I swear you will get a much better
reaction.
DON'T Answer Your Cell Phone
I cannot stress enough how incredibly RUDE it is to answer your
phone when you are with another person, especially if you are on
a first date with them! By answering your phone, you're telling
the person you're with that they aren't intriguing enough and
you'd rather have a conversation with someone more interesting.
Just turn it off! They invented voicemail for a reason.
DO Be A Gentleman
Chivalry is NOT dead! Despite what you hear, women still love
when a guy opens the door for you (this means the car door too!)
You will never get points knocked off for being a gentleman,
because you are showing her that your mature and know how to
treat a lady. Flowers wouldn't hurt either.
DON'T Wear A Costume
Well, okay, not literally a costume, but don't wear something
that isn't YOU. First dates are scary enough, you don't need to
be pulling and tugging at your outfit the whole night, and
wondering if your skirt is too short. Wear something that you
wear a lot, something you feel comfortable in because if you
feel comfortable on the inside, then you will look more
comfortable to your date on the outside.
DO Ask Questions
Everyone's favorite topic for a conversation is themselves. Why?
Because it's the field we are most knowledgeable in. When in
doubt about what to say, just ask them a question about
themselves. They will be happy to answer, and who knows, it just
may even spur a topic for a new conversation.
DON'T Give It All Away
Ladies, do not sleep with the guy on the first date. This is by
far the worst move you can make. If you give everything at once,
then what is left for him to find out? A little mystery goes a
long way.
