First Date Dos and Don'ts

First Date Dos and Don'ts

First dates, there is nothing more excited and nerve racking for singles. On a first date you'll end up spending more time getting ready, arriving earlier, watching your every move than any other date in the future with your date. You'll do whatever it takes to make that lasting good impressions, which can easily be done if you follow This Could Be HUGE's First Date Dos and Don'ts below:

Dos & Don'ts

  • Listen - Listen to everything your date has to say and give him or her your full attention. Don't be checking out other singles at the restaurant, pulling out the blackberry or looking at your watch to check the time.
  • Humor - Be the appropriate level of funny. Not to funny to the point you become annoying but funny to the point where you are pleasant to be around and an all around positive person in life.
  • Positivity - Stay positive at least 99% of the time. Don't dwell on negative news in the press or economy. Don't talk about how you have your hate your job or your boss is a jerk, talk about what's going good in your life. Talk about how you love your hobbies or are excited to see your friend who is flying into town.
  • Open Minded - Be open minded when your date talks. Don't be quick to judge, if your date says something unexpected give him or her a chance to explain. Remember, your date is just as nervous as you are so give them a chance to relax and be themselves.
  • Body Language - Remember that you are constantly communicate who you are and how you feel through your body language. Be sure to be relaxed and looking comfortable, you don't want to give the impression you aren't interested especially if you are! Make consistent eye contact with your date, especially when they are talking to you. And be sure to smile.
  • Talk - Be sure you and your date each have an equal opportunity to talk. No one likes being on a date and only hearing about one person and never being asked questions about yourself. You have to be sure to be an open communicator as it shows you are interested in the other person, not full of yourself and so you make sure you get to know each other.
  • Pushy - Don't be to forward or pushy. If your date doesn't want you to walk or drive them how its fine to ask them if they are sure one time, any additional attempts makes a person look sad, pathetic, and desperate. Don't get to touchy-feely, no one likes when a complete stranger starts to feel them up. Don't make a move for a first kiss if the timing is wrong. And don't put the other person in an uncomfortable position because if you do, you'll never hear from them again.

And of course, if you don't have a first date lined up, you can always look for that special someone to go on a First Date with on This Could Be HUGE!'s free online dating site which has 100s of singles all over the United States including Singles in Phoenix, Singles in Scottsdale, and Singles in Tempe.
