Do’s And Don’ts For The First Date
Don’ts
Don’t get too personal
This is a common mistake that many of us make. Remember he does not want to talk about his childhood memories with the family on his first date. Just an example! Steer clear of questions or discussion that may be too personal. It may trigger caution, nasty memories, or even nervous behavior. You never know what chord you could hit which may turn the best date you’ve had into something foul.
Don’t move too quickly
Have you managed to get that cute guy ask you out on the 2nd date? Good for you! But if there is one advice we can give you, do not move too quickly! However desperate you may be to go out with him again, it never hurts to go slow and steady. He needs to know that you are not that easy to get. If you jump the gun and rush things, he may start taking you for granted. Be mindful and go nice and easy. This will help you plan your dates and make picture perfect moments even more beautiful so that you can cherish those memories for a lifetime!
Don’t push to pay
Do not go for the bill. Let him make the first move. This says a lot about the man’s character and his attitude towards women. Of course, you do not want him to pay every place you go but let him take the lead when it comes to those nice dates which are full of romantic moments. Let the man do the needful. Chivalry will never go out of fashion, period.
Don’t drink too much
Alcohol is a social lubricant, we all know that. But too much of it, and messy times lie ahead. The last thing you want is to be drunk on your first few dates with your handsome man. Can you imagine what it would be like if your night ended with throwing up in his car? Forget messy endings, you surely want to avoid that nasty slip of tongue when you’ve had a bit too much. Drink, but in moderation – this couldn’t be truer.
Don’t talk about your ex
Imprint this in your head. Write a note to yourself if you are forgetful, but avoid talking about your ex. Even if asked, be intelligent about it. Stay away from complicated questions. They will only result in those awkward moments of silence. If you say good things about your ex, it is a turn off! If you say bad things, it rings warning bells in his head “what if she talks about me like this in future?”. It is a double-edged sword so you are going to get hurt either way. Stay clear!
