First of all we will talk about the donts because that is something we really need to work on.
1.Do not dress like a homeless person
Some people love to keep it casual but dont keep it very casual,always remember first impression is last impression you may not think about it alot but the other person can and being overdressed is always better than turning up looking like a homeless person,other person can appreciate your efforts.Once you both get to know each other you can be as casual as you want.
2.Dont talk more,try listening more
This is not only applicable for dates but also for any meetings whether it be personel or professional.And by listening more you get to know the other person better and people love people who listen more and dont interupt others.
3.Dont be late
This can be the biggest turn off for anyone because the excitement of the date is killed if other person is late and you dont wanna do this.
4.Dont play hard to get.
Some people think that playing hard to get will make the other person more intrested in them but no this is not gonna happen.If you pretend that you are not intrested in the other person the other person may loose intrest too.
5.Dont look at your phone constantly.
If you keep looking at your phone then this makes the other person think that you are getting bored or that you are not intrested and ofcourse this is bad manners looking at you phone while someone is talking to you.So just avoid doing this.
1.Do ask more questions.
Asking more questions will make them believe that you are really intrested in them,what they are talking about and they will know that you wanna know more about them which will make them express themselves more nicely.Dont just keep nodding your head.
2.Do try and keep it positive
On meeting someone for the very first time dont start talking about any toxic past relationships or any childhood trauma.This would make the memory of you first date with that person sad which can be a deal breaker.
3.Do keep eye contact
Looking away while talking is termed as someone being dishonest so just maintain the eyecontact and dont make it look like staring.And while breaking the eye contact dont be the first one to look away.
4.Do compliment them.
This is something everyone out there knows but I had to mention it.And while complementing try going into details like instead of saying nice shirt or nice dress you can say that black shirt/black dress makes you look very charming/gorgeous.
5.Do offer for paying the bill
Offer for paying the bill and dont just do it as a formality but really insist on paying the bill.This shows you independence.
6.Do be confident
Be confident and express yourself,be honest dont think about what the other person may think because if this person is really meant to be then you will not have anything to worry about.
