 Creating a great first date experience is vital in making the right first impression on your date. A poorly planned date might leave the love of your life thinking you are unorganized, careless, and unthoughtful. Below are some Dos and Don’ts for Your First Date so that you leave the right impression.
What to do on Your First Date?
The day you have been waiting for has finally arrived. You've asked her out and she said yes. And now you are not sure of what to do on your First Date. But you are ready to do practically anything to make a good impression. No need to panic, just follow the following list of Do’s and Don’ts and you will have a plenty of reasons to smile upon.
Do’s
Be What You Are:
Don’t try to be someone else and do not give any false impressions about yourself. Whether the date works out or not, you should always be remembered as the person who was comfortable and delightful to spend some time with.
Compliment Your Date:
Be sure to give your date a nice compliment- whether it is on their hair, clothes, smile or whatever you noticed. Giving compliments will show your date that you cared enough to take the time to observe the efforts they made in putting themselves together.
Laugh at His/Her Jokes:
Whether you truly think your date’s jokes and sense of humor is actually funny, it is always polite to give a laugh. To laugh at his/her jokes and humor will show the appreciation you have for the efforts they made to make the date interesting. So give him/her a laugh, without going over the top or making it look fake or forced.
Make Eye-Contact:
Making eye contact on a date is very important. It makes the other person feel important and that you are actually interested and paying attention to what he or she is saying.
Don’ts…
Talk on the Phone:
Nothing is ruder than talking on your cell phone or checking messages constantly during your date. It not only shows rudeness, but that you are uninterested in your date, making him/her feel insecure and upset. Try not to get busy on the phone and if you must keep your talk short.
Be Late:
You don’t want to give the impression that you do not respect your date’s time and that you are unreliable. Always try to be on the fixed time, this will show your date that you value time and are responsible. Punctuality is one virtue that everyone finds attractive.
Talk too Closely:
Do not make your date uncomfortable by getting too close to them when you talk. People need to feel like they still have their own personal space and if they suddenly feel suffocated, then they will close up and you will not be able to learn as much about them as you would like.
Be too Aggressive:
There is a difference being flirty and being too aggressive. If you like your date, feel to flirt and have fun, but do not be too aggressive and do not get too sexy with your talk. Let the talk be simple, ask questions to your date about their work, hobbies and so on. For example, do not ask about their marriage plans and so on. Remember, this is a first date- you would not want your date to think of you as a person who wants “too much too soon”.
No matter what level your friendship is on before your first date, remember that this is your first chance to make an impression so don't screw it up!
