1. Be Creative.
Having a three-hour date that only lasts two and a half-hour in a movie is not enough to get acquainted. But you don’t want to be stucked facing each other without a conversation, do you? There are plenty of topics to be discussed though you have to avoid issues referring to his/her past relationships.
2. Clothing.
Wear something that makes you comfortable but still presentable. If you have new clothes, you can use it. And if not new, make sure they’re clean, properly pressed and still fits well. Anything will do that matches your style, at the same time its comfortable to wear.
3. Make your date feel comfortable.
If you find something nice about your date, then compliment her/him about it. If there nothing you can find interesting about him/her, you shouldn’t be out your date in the first place. Avoid saying short descriptive compliments, instead, mean it.
4. Checking Manners/Kindness.
Listening actively on what your date says. Avoid interrupting your date while he/she is talking. It is a rude way to interrupt, at the same time your date might lost interest on pursuing the topic/conversation. Also avoid spending time thinking what you’re going to say next while your partner is talking.
Focus on your date. While you are with your date, pay attention to him/her. Do not wander off. Always be there.
Always stay positive. Avoid complaining on a first date. As much as possible, no involvement of alcohol intake.
Always thank him/her for the date. The kindness shown will always be remembered.
5. After Dating.
Your first date will might precede another one. Take a class together: photography, wine-tasting, massage classes. Anything that will take time to bond you together.
