First Date Guidelines

Are you going out on your first date? Are the butterflies in the stomach transforming into birds? Well, a first date can be quite an event and no one likes to mess it up. After all, a great first date in the ice breaker and gets the ball rolling for the future, and who knows, you may just end up in a wonderful relationship. Listed below are some very useful first date guidelines for you to follow. Read on and know all about the rules and exceptions of a first date.

• Plan ahead – Make sure you plan your date in advance. Since the chances are that you still do not know the other person too well, don’t play the guessing game. Find out what their interests are and plan accordingly. It is also important to plan so that either of you don’t end up in embarrassing positions. For instance, you don’t want your date to be dressed in a cocktail dress at an amusement park!
• Avoid the personal questions – This is one of the most important first date guidelines. Do not get personal. A first date is a very wrong occasion to enquire about your date’s old relationships, family background, etc. Just be cool and have a nice and casual conversation.
• Prepare well – If you are the one getting the vehicle, make sure it is in a good condition. On a date, and more so if it’s a first, you would want to go out of your way to impress the other person. At such a time, all your efforts would be ruined, if they were made to push your car!
• Be polite – Do not light a cigarette without permission. This is extremely rude and if your date doesn’t like smoking, you will end up losing a lot of points. Also remember to avoid things like speaking loudly and for a long time on your cell phone, being rude to the waiter, and so on.
• Be honest – While we all like to praise ourselves, there should be a limit to that on the first date. Do not exaggerate or make up things to prove your worth. This will only make your date suspicious and if the truth comes out, it may well mark the end of the road for the two of you!
• Be clear – This is another important first date guideline. Please be clear about what you want. If you are looking for something casual while your date is looking for something more serious, the date will turn out to be a disaster. So clear that out before you go out and save yourself a lot of trouble.

So keep these cool first date guidelines in mind and have the most memorable first date. Remember to have fun and enjoy yourself as that is what you want most from a date, isn’t it?
