| Feelings of anxiousness, excitement, and nervous tingles overwhelm your body and mind as you prepare for that first date. You wonder what to wear and how you will behave. You begin to build expectations of how the rendezvous will goÂif your plan will run smoothly. But wait. Do not let the excitement take over and end up scaring away your date. It is best to stay consciously aware of what you say and do to ensure a romantic, blissful time that could have endless possibilities. | DO: | TABOO: | | 1. Dress for the occasion. | 1. Wearing jeans and a t-shirt to a five-star restaurant may seem like a good idea, but it is not. | 2. Mind your manners. Gentleman, open doors and let the women sit first. Ladies, proper etiquette expresses class and demands respect.
| 2. Talking with your mouth full or belching loudly does not turn people on - no matter how funny you think it is. | | 3. Say please and thank you. | 3. Not acknowledging kindness or expressing gratitude shows you to be spoiled and ungrateful. | | 4. Ask lots of questions. It will make your date feel good, and s/he will know that you are interested . | 4. Constantly talking about yourself will make your date think you are a conceited bore.
| | 5. Know when to stop. | 5. Drinking too much will ruin the night. Stupidity and humility will overpower your smoothness. Eating too much will make you tire. Save room for the ice cream on the beach or something at her place. Talking too much becomes annoying. If her eyeballs roll, you know to hush hush. | | 6. Be sincere and honest. Only say what you mean if you want a positive response. | 6. Cliché °ick-up lines do not work and are a huge turn-off. | | 7. End the date early. The two of you could be having the best evening, but ending it early shows that you respect her and her time. | 7. Keeping her out all night is risky business. You do not want to get into trouble or do anything regretful on the first date. Give her respect. | Being yourself is the biggest "do" on a first date. If you act like someone you are not, there could be major repercussions. After a few dates, when the "real you" shines through, you could both be in for a major disappointment. Just being who you are will appeal to a comfortable dating atmosphere that she will surely want to enjoy again. |
