The Art of Dating
Do:
• Put some effort into your appearance.
Shower, wash your hair, brush and floss your
teeth, and dress nicely. And, if you have time, throw some breath mints into
your pocket or purse.
• Be punctual.
You look unreliable if you are late.
• Use silverware correctly, be polite
to the wait staff and tip well.
These little things can tell a date a lot about
who you are, so you want to convey to them you’re fantastic!
• Relax and have fun.
Even if this person is not your soul mate, you
can still have fun with him or her. Remember, the goal of a first date is just
to have a good time together.
• Ask thoughtful questions.
But never forget, you do not want your date to
feel like they are on the witness stand. And, do not give away deeply personal
information.
• Accept rejection gracefully.
If your date does not want to see you again,
yelling at him/her or crying hysterically in front of him/her in no way helps
your cause. Yell and cry into your pillow after the date is over instead.
Don’t:
• Stand your date up!
Be there and be on time.
• Wear scary clothes.
Red leather pants may not make the best
impression.
• Make fun of people with bad teeth or
thick glasses.
Make fun of
people with bad teeth or thick glasses. In fact, do not make fun of people at all.
• Order for your date.
They are big girls and boys, so they can do it by
themselves.
• Bring up your STD history, unique
sexual preferences, commitment or marriage.
Bring up your
STD history, unique sexual preferences (i.e., whips and chains), commitment or
marriage. These are scary topics for the first date.
• Talk on your cell phone
Talk on your
cell phone instead of talking to your
date.
• Make fun of your date.
Equally teasing each other is a fun way to get to
know each other, but keep the comments very gentle.
• Forget to bring
enough money
Forget to bring
enough money to pay for the date.
