First Date Going out on your first date? Follow these guidelines
and enjoy!
Choose the right place:
The most important thing to keep in mind while
selecting a venue is to opt for a public place.
Also, do not insist on a fancy place. It is in
bad taste to opt for an expensive place as more
than often the man will pick up the tab for the
first date.
Dress right:
On the first date it's not a great idea to wear
something very revealing. "Let there be some
suspense about you", says fashion guru
Anita Dongre. Be minimalist: less is more.
Don't over do it. Keep your overall style
simple. Wear minimal jewellery. Remember it's
only a date, not a wedding. So don't overdo
either the make-up or the accessories.
Talk time:
Talking excessively- This is very unattractive.
Try and listen. Ask interesting questions.
Before going out think of some interesting
things to converse.
No sex please:
Try to develop bonds of friendship first,
before going on to the next stage.
Remember, you can only be lovers if you
are friends first.
Cell phone manners:
It is rude to keep on talking on the cell or
even SMSing. Avoid taking calls and give your
date your undivided attention.
Blind date:
If you are going on a blind date, find out all
about him/her from friends who set you up.
This will put you at ease and if you do get
to hear of some wrong things, opt out.
Do not be desperate:
Do not appear desperate to get married or in a
relationship on the first date. This sends wrong
signals and very often puts the other person 'off'.
Be yourself:
Women generally have in-built radars and can
spot a phony a mile away. This of course applies
to men also. Present your best side but always be
yourself. Love will find you; it's that simple.
Date deception may work on the first date but
if you are interested in prolonging the
relationship it becomes harder to enact a charade.
