How to survive your first date
![]() |
Preparing for a first date can be quite nerve-wracking, even for the most mature of individuals. The key is to take it easy and decide that you are going to have a good time no matter what happens. Although first impressions are important, it helps to take some of the pressure off yourself “to perform” and decide that you are just going to be yourself. If you decide you are going to have a good time, then you probably will. However, there are some steps you can take to put yourself at ease before that all-important first date that can help make it a better experience for both of you.
First of all, make sure the date will be something you will enjoy. If your date suggests going sailing but you can’s swim and suffer from seasickness, don’t be afraid suggest an alternative. Suggest that the two of you check out the latest art exhibition or that new scary movie that just opened. Try to choose something that is fun and exciting for both you. This will definitely take the pressure off you to entertain or amuse your partner with conversation.
Dating experts suggest that women should not dress too sexy on for a first date. Avoid exposing too much cleavage or fishnet stockings unless you are sure you want to have sex on the first date
Men should try to avoid looking too casual in that “I shop at Wal-Mart way” way. Sweats or T-shirts and jeans are also a no-no. Dress casually, but smart .
Conversely, women should not keep men waiting while they are getting ready. Sometimes it helps to have a cocktail before you leave the woman’s house to break the ice a little. It is important to patient, as sometimes the other person is as nervous as you are and doesn’t necessarily express anything but awkwardness or anxiety for the first few minutes.
During the rest of the evening, the woman should not scorn or reject the man’s attempts to open doors for her and pull out her chair for her. He is trying to be sweet, not set back feminism twenty years!
According to relationship experts, the best way to keep your date attracted to you is to always have them identify you with the idea of excitement. Don’t be afraid to show a little spontaneity by suggesting that you take a walk in the park or explore a new attraction after your date.
At the end of the night, most dates end with a kiss. While kissing your date good-bye avoid the reassuring pat on the back. A lack of a kiss may indicate that there is not a sexual relationship in the future. If this happens don’t expect a call for a second date and be content in knowing that you have just made yourself another very good friend.
