FOCUS : Tips for the first date

The reason we fix first dates is to prove or speak our suitability for a relationship. It thus comes with excitement coupled up with nervousness to impress the other party. And maybe this has happened to you, or to your best friend- being chucked on the first date. I suggest it was because you did not heed some tips like the ones I came up with,

Laughter is great medicine

The reason we fix first dates is to prove or speak our suitability for a relationship. It thus comes with excitement coupled up with nervousness to impress the other party.

And maybe this has happened to you, or to your best friend- being chucked on the first date. I suggest it was because you did not heed some tips like the ones I came up with,

below:
 
Never keep the other party waiting.  Being late for a date or giving excuses on the last minute tells how less interested you are in the affair.

Dress comfortably. Don’t forget to dress for the occasion though. Not tattered jeans for a black tie dinner or high heels for a sports gala.

Never do with the wardrobe and leave hygiene at the rear. She can never stand your bad breath however much a hank you look. He also will not hold a lady with some terrible odour.

And I know you hate questions like ‘Are you sure of what we are eating?’ You also don’t want to go home sick because you dried up your wallet for a dish both of you found awful.  Then don’t go for a new restaurant for the date. Mind table manners as well.

She will like it when you act sweet. Appreciating her dress, showing interest in her silly stories and the likes, will do. Stay away from politics because you are dealing with someone who looses temper here.

And girl, don’t be hard to please. One friend of mine, MsusanJ told me of how it had become part of her, sending a text, ‘thanks for the night, dinner was great.’ Such way, your man will not think that he was boring.

Avoid stories of your last relationships or that mortgage you’ve failed to clear off. A person is proved smart by their talk, by-the-way. You need to minimize your words and instead try more fun stuff.
Also too much booze may kill the day coz liquor changes the mind-set of some people. Just a glass of wine will spice up your day and let you stay sober for a conversation-I don’t wish you became some pest here.

Wait, I understand most dates exit with a kiss and blaa-blaa. But if she doesn’t feel it, don’t be too pushy, please. A goodnight peck will do for today and then pray for the second date.  On the other hand, don’t make your man kneel if you really like him.

Try out these few guidelines on the next rendezvous and see how it works. Give a call to remind your date in time, pick him or her if necessary and then let the fine dating begin.
