First Date
The first of anything involves great anxiety and anticipation. The first day of school. The first day in college, the first day of your first job and the list of the firsts can go on. Similarly the first date is the most anxious, exiting and anticipating time for any person because this has something to do with the person's physical and mental aspects.
There will be lot of confusion regarding the way you want to dress, the way you want to greet your date, the way the conversation might start, the way every thing has to be handled, Will you be able to impress the other person, whether the other person will be match your expectations, Whether it will be acceptance right from the word go or there would be proper friendly vibes or otherwise. To help a smooth going-on on your first date here are some useful tips.
- If not for the entire day, at least practice for the initial greeting, the first few words and the first few moments of meeting your partner. Practice in front of the mirror and remember to present a sober yet confident outlook.
- Dress in casuals and be as decent as possible. Women- Avoid heavy make-up and too revealing dresses. Also avoid too low necklines and minis and micro-minis. Avoid heavy jewelry. This gives an appearance of gaudy and loud. Men usually consider such appearance to be too bold and provocative. Give out and appearance of a decent homely next door neighbor look. Presenting your finery and costume parade can wait for some other occasion. Men- Decency and sober outlook will also work out for you, because it gives out an air of sincerity and responsibility. Women fall for that responsible gentleman look that assures them of security and family bond. Garish dressing speaks for irresponsible immaturity and few women would search for their future life in such conditions.
- Remember not to reveal too much of your personal details and information regarding your past. Even if there is nothing to hide about your past maintain your cool and try to elicit as much information as possible from your partner. In short try to be a good listener. Talking too much and giving out too much information on the first instance might diminish the intensity of the interest shown.
- This tip is more for the women. Try and select a place of meeting where there are people around. Sparsely crowded places give a feeling of insecurity and you may try to be uncomfortable, which will show in your behavior and also on your face. This discomfiture will put you ill at ease. Also remember to select a place that is familiar to both of you.
- Remember not to over stay on your first date. Try to stick to your agreed time schedule and gently and courteously yet firmly take leave with a promise to meet again. Do not forget to take one another's phone and mobile numbers.
- Girls also remember to tell at least one of your close friends about the time, date and place of going on your first date.
- Last but not the least; Let the first date be short, because this increases the yearning in the heart for a second date at the earliest.
