It has been ages now that you had been talking to that special someone over the phone. Many promises are made, much sweet words are exchanged and the butterfly has already started to flutter in your stomach. Sleepless nights follow and you hear your heart giving you the nod to meet him/her for the very first time. All this time you had just pictured him/her in your mind. This is the first time that you are actually going to feel his/her presence. As soon as the date for the special rendezvous gets fixed, youfre your preparations. Ensure every single detail is perfect to avoid spoiling the date.
To avoid wrecking havoc on the very first day of your meeting, it is crucial to know the rules following which you can avoid having a bad date. Rules or general norms, whatever you might call them are little secrets for a perfect date. Follow them and they are sure formulas to a successful long lasting relationship.
The dating game has different set of rules for the girl and the boy to follow. However, some general rules are applicable to both and should be kept in mind to avoid a bad date. They are:
· Dress well. Make a lasting impression on him/her. Donft just grab anything from the wardrobe and put it on. A true gentleman like appearance, a clean shave and a mild smelling perfume or cologne just might do the trick for the boy. On the other hand, the girl should look simple yet pretty to catch the eye. Being just you and presentable is enough to serve the purpose.
· Present her with a small gift. A soft toy, flowers, chocolates might be anything. The cost does not matter, the feeling does.
· Show appreciation: Thank your date for showing up, this expresses your respect. .
· No show of: If you are taking your date out to an expensive restaurant make sure that you do not flaunt your money. A bighead is always unwelcomed.
· Start your discussion on a general topic. Talk about your likes, dislikes, hobbies, family etc. It is better to steer clear of personal topics which might crop up an uncomfortable situation.
· Keep yourself updated with the current affairs: He/she might test your intelligence and none should appear dumb.
· Let her know about your future plans, ambitions: It can make her feel that you are a responsible person and can guarantee her a secured future.
· Never reveal your frailty: It is good to share but do not give away your vices if you have any, in the very first meeting. Answer if he/she asks the questions related to this. At the same time, try to resolve them eventually.
· Give him/her the opportunity to speak as well: This will also give you insight on what you need to change about yourself. Donft be a chatterbox.
· No yesteryear data: Avoid digging out anything from the past. This implies to both the boy and the girl. Past is gone and should be dealt in time.
Keep the small things in mind and just try to be yourself. This is enough to make the date extraordinary and avoid having a bad date.
