First dates aren't easy. Oftentimes, they can end up being painfully awkward. So what should you do?
What follows are a list of dating tips to help you and your date get started on the right foot:
Don't meet at each other's houses, and try to drive yourself. This gives you a way out if you want to end that date early. It would also help you avoid the impulse to invite your date in or not. Driving yourself also means you don't have to worry about your safety because your date won't know where you live, and you'll avoid stalkers this way.
Keep the date simple. First dates can bring on jittery nerves. Jittery nerves and complicated plans do not mix. Just keep things light and easy.
Men, try ending the date first and do it politely, though make sure that you show you're interested. This will make you stand out.
Women shouldn't wear clothes that are too sexy. We've all heard that first impressions last, and it's true. Your date doesn't know anything about you, and the first thing you show is your appearance and behaviour. He will take you at face value and giving him the wrong impression on what sort of person you are is not something you want to do.
Try and wear clothing that makes you confident and that you are comfortable wearing. It will be uncomfortable enough without worrying about that tightness around you waist or the itchy necktie.
Men should be more specific when it comes to where you'll go for the date. This will make the entire affair more comfortable and it prepares your date for what to expect and what to wear. It definitely won't do to wear a cocktail dress to a fast food chain!
You should ask your date about him/herself. Your date would be pleased if you show that you are interested in getting to know more about him/her. This means that you find him/her interesting. Remember, the most interesting conversationalists are those who ask about others. You can ask about work, hobbies, and sports. Just keep the conversation light.
Avoid putting on too much perfume or cologne. Too strong smells can be distracting. You don't want your date dazed by the smell of your perfume.
Mouthwash is very important. Also, brush your teeth and bring a couple of mints if you're eating out.
And always remember... have fun and be yourself! By Clifford Gill
