10 Great Tips for a First Date
by A first date is a minefield of potential pitfalls that you need to avoid in order to survive. Here are 10 tips to help you.
Make sure you are clean and well groomed for your date. Don’t let that first impression be a bad one.
Be on time for your date and don’t let your date down by being late.
If you’re nervous about meeting someone, why not make it easy on yourself and meet for lunch or maybe just a coffee.
Treat your date with respect and the dignity they deserve and expect the same from them. Be yourself and don’t be someone you are clearly not.
Give your date as much of a chance to impress you. If it starts badly, endure it as it may get better.
Try and enjoy yourself as much as possible, it will show in your body language whether you are or not.
Dont tolerate rudeness. If you don’t like them, you don’t have to hang around.
Have a ‘get out’ if it is not going well, for instance, having a friend call you 30 minutes in so you can make your excuses if its not going well.
If you say something out of hand and insult your date, apologize quickly and move onto another subject. Be sensitive and watchful with what you say.
If you’re finding it hard work becuase you have nothing in common to talk about, make it as short as possible. Don’t endure it for longer than you have to. Just make your excuses and end it there and then.
