Dos and Donâts of First Dates!
Going on a first date and your nerves are starting to kick in? Donât worry we have you covered with a list of what to do and not to do on a first date! Start your new relationship off on the right foot.
Put an effort into your appearance. Show them you care!
Wear something comfortable, youâll feel a lot better.
Tell them of any allergies or dietary requirements beforehand if youâre going for food!
Put your phone away, itâs distracting for you and your date. Your Instagram followers can wait.
Tell someone where youâre going and who youâre meeting, especially if itâs a Tinder date!
Be interested in what theyâre saying. Ask questions and make eye contact, no one likes talking to someone they know isnât listening to them.
Bring money with you. Donât expect that the other person will pay for you, itâs the 21st Century!
Be yourself and have fun! First dates are fun, youâve got nothing to lose so enjoy yourself.Â
Donât tell lies! You will be caught out at some stage, and thatâs just awkward.
Donât talk about your previous relationships, they donât want to hear about âyour crazy exâ.
Donât overdo it on the social media stalking! Go in with an open mind, plus you donât want to get caught knowing something they havenât told you yet!
Donât drink too much! Meeting over a drink is a fun way of getting to know each other but you donât want to overdo it on the cocktails and embarrassing yourself.
Donât get too personal, talk about yourself but donât tell them your life story within the first hour of meeting them. On the other hand...
Donât ask really personal questions, it might make them uncomfortable.
Donât be late! Show them you care about them by not leaving them waiting.
Donât worry. Everything will work out and if it doesnât, it wasnât meant to be!
