Dating is hard, we all know that. But that doesn’t mean we should give up all hope! There are a few dating tips that can help make first dates go better, and there are also things to avoid on first dates at all costs. In this 2 part post, we will explore the do’s and dont’s of first dates. Let’s start with the things to avoid on first dates, at all costs.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t let on you\u2019ve been cyber stalking. <\/b>Google and Facebook are your best friends when it comes to checking out your potential new beau. But even though it\u2019s an open secret, that doesn\u2019t mean that you need to tell your date that you\u2019ve been cyber stalking. If you tell him, you WILL creep him out.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t drink too much. <\/b>It\u2019s easy to down a large wine in less than ten minutes when you\u2019re nervous, but those nerves will also ensure that wine goes to your head quicker than normal. Just stick to one or two drinks, drink plenty of water, have spritzers and don’t drink too fast. Not being too tipsy will help you stay in control, and not make any decisions you might regret in the morning.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t have a negative attitude. <\/b>Even just bitching or gossiping can make you look like a negative Nellie. Your potential beau wants to see you in the best light possible, so you need to make sure that you\u2019re happy and positive.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t order the salad. <\/b>Don\u2019t order something because you think it\u2019ll look good. If you want a big, juicy steak or a burger, go for it. Your man will appreciate seeing you eating properly and if you\u2019re drinking, you need something substantial to soak it up.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t question his details. <\/b>So he put 6 foot on his dating profile but he\u2019s actually 5\u201910\u201d, don\u2019t bring it up on the first date, it\u2019ll cause embarrassment. Save it for something to laugh at when you\u2019re in an established relationship and you\u2019ve got the banter down.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t turn your dates into therapy sessions. <\/b>Your date doesn\u2019t care about your problems, at least not yet. No one wants to listen to you going on about your sick cat or spiralling credit card bills. If you want a second date, talk less, listen more.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t talk about your ex. <\/b>We would say this is obvious but still people do it. No good can ever come from talking about your ex. It\u2019ll look like you\u2019re still hung up on them and it\u2019ll be a huge turn off.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t talk about sex. <\/b>Unless you\u2019re planning on having sex on the first date, in which case you should definitely talk about your sexual history, and get each other hot under the collar for a night of passion. But beware that the first date might be the only date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
