If
you can stay away from these first date mistakes you should
make it to date number two. You're going to have to show your
date that you're confident, and give a good impression without
looking arrogant. The way you dress, the way you walk, what
you talk about and your table manners are going to be under
close scrutiny.
First
off you need to decide where to eat. This most likely is going
to be up to you, so you have to get it right. Get this wrong
and it will spoil everything right from the start of your
date.
Places
to avoid are definitely fast food outlets. This will not go
down well, and you'll be lucky if you're still on the date
before you finish your food. At the other end of the scale
you don't want to take a lady or guy on a first date to a
fancy restaurant that is way out of your price range. For
one he or she will think you've gone over the top, and two,
you will be choosing all the cheapest items on the menu.
You
want a nice restaurant that is comfortable, serves good food
and one where you can relax, not worry about the cost of the
meal, and to be able to talk. It will be even more beneficial
for you if you know the restaurant you're going to. You can
order your meal straight away, and make your own recommendations.
(Always impressive.)
You
will need to dress to impress. You don't want to turn up at
a nice restaurant and look like you should be eating in a
burger joint. Most women (or guys) will go out and buy something
new just to look good for you so you need to make an effort.
A shirt, nice pants and deceent shoes will be just right for
the occasion. Back this up with immaculate personal hygiene
like washed hair, no stubble and clean hands and nails. All
this things will be looked at in the first 2 minutes of you
meeting. Get this part right and your still heading for a
good first date.
Showing
that you're not listening can be very aggravating. She will
notice if your eyes are wondering around while she is talking
to you. You need to show you are listening all the time. Throw
in the odd question so she knows you're paying attention.
Never look at another women while you're on your date especially
the waitress. This will not look good for you. You need to
put the blinkers on for the night, and ignore what's going
on around you.
Some
things are best kept to yourself on your first date. In fact
some of them can wait a few months before you start being
too honest. Conversations to avoid are: ex girlfriends, any
criminal offenses no matter how minor, medications you might
be taking and generally anything that isn't going to sound
good on a first date. She will have things that will be kept
a secret as well in the early days, and that's the way they
should stay.
There
are many more mistakes you could make on a first date but
if you avoid these ones you should have some idea of what's
not acceptable behavior.
