To Date: Yes or No?


For all girls out there, being asked out on a date with a guy is very exciting and fun to think about, especially if it is for the first time. Either a blind date or a date with someone whom you get acquainted with, a first date could give you jitters and mixed emotions. Well, do not worry here are some helpful advices and tips.

For teenagers make sure your parents are okay with the guy you’ll date with. If you want your parents to trust and like the guy you are dating, the best thing to do is ask them if they are comfortable with you going out with your date. Introduce your date to your parents and it is also best to tell them where you both are going and what time will you get home. This will make them worry less. Also listen to your parent’s advice, these might help and surprise you. Don’t think their too “old school” but just think that they had been into dating experiences just before they got married.

For teens and for those ladies of the right age, dating for the first time needs precautions. Make sure you know your date well; it is not a very good idea to date alone with someone you barely know. This would make you more nervous and it can also be dangerous. If you do not know your date well it’s best to have a double date, or you could have your date on public places where both of you are not alone.

Now for dating exclusives, first thing be on time. Making a guy wait during a first date is somewhat rude. This gives a bad impression to you girls; they will think that you have no interest in this date. Do not make excuses like “being late because of preparing”. There is no such thing as “fashionably late” so be prompt and on time. This will be a good start by the time when you and your date would be together.

Second, be nice. Always keep in mind to have a positive attitude. Always break the ice when your date gets silent. When you feel that everything seems to be wrong, do not complain. Complaining is very insulting, if you find anything uncomfortable you can tell him after the date that something is wrong but in a nice and calm way. The way you say it and the tone of your voice is very important here. Do not worry trust me he will surely understand, and after that he’ll try to make it up with you.

During the date, find things on what you like about him the most and tell him. You can even compliment on the clothes he’s wearing, or on how he looks and how good the date is going. But do not lie, just be natural you are not out on a date just to please, but you are there for you to get to know each other. Complimenting your date would give him feel more eased towards you and can even break the tension. Appreciation also shows that you are taking notice of him and you appreciate him.

And lastly, enjoy the date. Dating is a good chance for you to get to know each other and to enjoy each other’s company. Have fun but do not be too hyper-critical, take things as they are and don’t loose up your poise, remember your date has all eyes for you. But just keep it cool, let your guard down a little bit, and do not pretend. Give your date a chance to see the real you. He may or may not like you, but honesty would always do you good. After all, if he doesn’t like you for being you, why should you both keep on dating?

Always remember that you are a woman of your own character. Have fun and smile! :)
