The first date - Some Dating tips about what you need to do

Going on a first date gives a range of emotional feeling in your mind which will be thrilling but also terrifying. Dating for the first time produces a lot of chemistry changes in our body. At Bepenfriends we provide dating articles on "how to" tips that will help your first meeting with your date go smoothly.

1) Be on time!

Timeliness is the first tip in making your dating experience go smoothly. Being late or too early will create a bad impression. we can't always be on time; sometimes it is out of our control. Be sure to communicate any changes in your plans to your date.. In our friendship articles on "Making Friendships Last", we have said that communication is the key for sucessful friendship. This point applies to dating also. Call them before the expected arrival time and tell them if you expect to be late. This will let them know that you are serious about the date.

2) Personal Checklist!

This is a tip mainly for men who is going for the date. Before going to meet your date / friend, check yourself first.

Are your fingernails clean?
Is your hair neat? (and be sure there is no hair showing where it shouldn't be, ie. nose and ears!)
Clothes ironed?
Shoes polished?
Any odors are under control!

These all create a first impression. Your physical impression is more essential than your mental impression on your first date.

3) Appearance

As for men, there is a tip for women too. That is appearance. Guys may not look at your hair style or clothing style but they will see your appearance. If your look is not pleasing, your first may be your last date with him. Keep makeup toned down and do not overdo the perfume. Keep it simple on your first date.

4) Don't go to crowded places

Think about why you are going on the date. You should be the center of attention. Dating is about getting to know each other better. When you go to movies or the theatre, s/he may be distracted by other things which may spoil your dating experience. In a crowded place, there is a chance that you won't get to know each other well.

5) No over communication on first date

To know more about your date you need to ask the right questions. Repeated questions and overly detailed answers will cause your date to lose interest. So keep it simple and smooth. Dating is more than a interview. Don't do all the talking, give your date a chance as well!

6) Keep some surprises

Want to talk more on another date? Save some surprises for another time. Don't allow your date to learn all about you the first time. This might make your date to lose interest. Keep some secrets but provide a few hints that there is more about than first meets the eye. Create a little mystery so that you get their attention not only on the first date but on further dates too.

7) Keep something common with your date.

Before going on a first date, you should know something about each other. Think of something you have in common which will help create interesting conversation. Or find interesting topics in magazines or newspapers as a potential source of discussion. Always try to find common things that you both can share.

8) Never argue with your date

Always keep an open mind, especially with your date. If you always argue with everything, it will create a bad impression and cause your date to lose interest. This does not mean you have to agree with everything your date says.

9) Never get excited with the first date.

Another important tip for first time dating is to try not to get too nervous or excited. Being calm and confident is more appealing.

10) Have lots of fun with your date

Have fun with your date. For that should be the main reason you are going on a date in the first place..
