So you are going on a first date with someone you met online who is smoking hot, excellent!
So you called up the person you have been messaging online for the last few weeks and are ready to move the relationship up to real in person dating. Like a normal person, you begin to worry about little things like what to wear.
There is a plethora of information about what you should do on a first date, but very few articles on what NOT to do. This is a few good tips on things you never want to do. Don’t make the mistake of doing these or you will regret it.
Don’t be TOO nervous. I get it, I really do, because I’m nervous too! I’ve just learned to hide it. Before your date, do some deep breathing, or sing at the top of your lungs to calm your nerves. Someone who is extremely nervous doesnt inspire confidence; it just makes you look insecure.
Don’t being overly passionate. This one’s for the girls. Women and men appreciate romance and everyone knows that. But, over the top romantic gestures on a first date can make you seem to attached or even a bit of a stalker. Don’t go out and buy a dozen flowers when one will do. Don’t have the candle aroma going either, you want to see the person you are dining with. Save that for a fourth or fifth date!
Don’t call your date as soon as you get home. Wait at least a day or two before reconnecting unless otherwise planned. You want to take things slow and let him or her get nervous themselves anticipating a call.
Be careful of body motions, they can send a lot of mixed signals. I hate to have to say this, but a belch or a fart in the middle of a perfect date can ruin the entire thing!
Don’t never shut up. First dates are about getting to know each other, but verbal diarrhea is information overload for your date. Plus, he or she will get the idea that you don’t know how to listen and aren’t interested in hearing about them.
