7.7 Tips
1. Putting effort into a date - It is important to put effort into dating. Become
committed into dating. Preparing for a possible rejection.
2. Feel your best for your date - Join the gym, eat healthy, start a diet. Be well
groomed. Feel right about yourself and your date will notice that.
3. Get your look together - Go and get some clothes that would make you look
sharp. The effort you put into your clothes will get noticed.
4. Know what you want - Knowing what you want from your date is important. Either
marriage or casual hookup it is important to be straight with yourself and with
your date.
5. Get Support - It is important to have people that cheer you on and not try to
sabotage your dates or your self-esteem.
6. Go Out - You can't meet people without talking to them and you can't talk to them
if you stay home all the time. Go out to some clubs, join some groups, go to
some fun events.
7. Be true to yourself - Your date will expect you to be similar to them so know
yourself and choose your date accordingly.
8. Take your time - Dating is not a race if you're tired of going on a bunch of quick
dates, take some time off, relax, and unwind. You'll be back refreshed and feel
better than ever.
9. Enjoy the date - It's just a date. The person you are going out with may be or may
not be your future partner but the current situation is just a date - enjoy the
moment and you both will have fun doing so.
18
10. Be mysterious - Everyone loves a good detective show so play, change it up a bit
and keep your date on their toes. If you make yourself too available your date will
loose interest and move on.
7.8 How to act on a date
Rule number 1: There are no rules. Dating is something that should come natural to
both men and women. Dating happens when a man and a woman go through several
social activities to fellowship and to observe the other person in order to figure out if
they are suitable to be a potential partner for an intimate relationship. Going out for the
first time should be extremely fulfilling, but at the same time brings along fear. Both
parties usually get so scared worrying about how they should talk, what to wear, where
to go, how will the date end, etc. We are here to tell you that DATES ARE FUN!
Here are some key points for both men and women on how to act on the first date:
1.) Be Yourself: No matter what happens always be yourself. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT
try to be something you are not. If you are shy or if you are very sociable, then be that.
To the guys, there is no need to impress the young lady. Remember, she already said
YES and is already on the date with you. All you have to do now is be yourself and
show her that she made the right decision. To the ladies, there is no reason for you to
be scared. You don't have to worry about what he thinks of you, or your hair, or your
dress. Him approaching you should be enough to tell you that he wants you, so just be
yourself!
For Men:
1.) Don't Stare: Looking at other women while on a date is a big NO NO! Also looking
at her breast instead of her face isn't good either. Actually listen to what she is saying
and respond so she knows you were paying attention.
2.) Be In Charge: Take control of the date; don't wing it. Plan the date prior to going on
it. Make reservations. YOU pay for the date Let the lady feel relaxed and let her enjoy
herself and your company.
3.) Be Gentlemen: Be polite, be punctual, open doors. Offer her a seat before you sit
down. Compliment her throughout the date but don't overdo it.
4.) Live In The Moment: Don't worry about what will happen after the date such as
kisses or will there be a second date. Think about the present and not the future. Things
will naturally fall into place when you be yourself.
19
For Women:
1.) Be A Lady: Be weary of how much you drink or eat. Limit burping, farting, or
laughing to loudly. Dress classy. Men like women whose dress says they are a flirt but
are professional at the same time.
2.) Be On Time: Even though its stereotypical for the lady to be late on the first date but
DON'T. Be ready and on time to let the men know that you are ready and look forward
to this outing.
3.) Don't Talk Too Much: Try not to talk about yourself the whole date. Show him that
you are interested in him also. Avoid talking about past relationships; this is not a
venting session, it's a date.
4.) Make Him Earn You: If you have the hots for this guy, don't show it. Of course, be
flirty, but don't be too easy. Guys like a challenge, but don't overdo it.
