Where to go on a first date

Written by admin. Posted in Dating Tips


First date nerves?  Where to go? What to do? First dates are never going to be a relaxing experience. It doesn’t matter how cool you are, or think you are, their is always the feeling that things could go wrong. . . so maybe a few basic guidelines won’t go amiss.

  1. 1. Try to pick an activity that you both enjoy. This sets the tone, if you choose something only you like, imagine how your date may feel, struggling to stay polite, bored and disappointed?  This is a strategy that also sets the stage for something you can afford.

  1. 2. Picking something you can afford and accommodating your budget, doesn’t make you a cheapskate. The dangers of throwing money around on a first date can lead your date into a false sense of (how generous you are) and if this then isn’t a constant (how cheap you are) be realistic. Also consideration needs to be taken into account re -your dates finances, spending to big may make her feel out of your league!

  1. 3. Do something that doesn’t require new clothes, they are often uncomfortable and because your not used to them they may rip or gape. It is far easier to wear your happy, easy-to-wear older clothes, concentrate on being you.

  1. 4. Go where you can have a proper conversation!! Easy for me to say, the worst first date is at the movies, no conversation, people shushing you, unexpected embarrassing scenes on screen. Go where you can easily chat.

  1. 5. Find a local venue, Long trips, frayed nerves, bad transport links not a good idea for a first date. If you live a fair distance meets in the middle.

  1. 6. Pick an activity that doesn’t involve loads of alcohol. Difficult, especially if you suffer from first night nerves. It can lead you into all kinds of tricky situations.

  1. 7. Find an activity that doesn’t last for more than a coupe of hours. A good first date is usually short.  The key here is to leave “em wanting more”. If you both had a great time you will easily want date number two. If on the other hand you didn’t enjoy each other’s company, then a couple of hours are no big deal.

  1. 8. Leave time to get to know each other. A date full of too much activity keeps you busy, but if the purpose of the date is a chance to get to know one another, some quiet time is a good idea. Noise and bustle is distracting.

So have fun and good luck…………

  1. Same any previous language, body language consists of phrases, sentences and punctuation. Each gesticulate is like a single phrase and a word may have single different significances. It is entirely when you put the word into a WORD with other words that you can fully visualize its substance. Motions come in ’sentences’ and constantly tell the truth about a individual’s feelings or attitudes. The logical individual is one who can read the non-verbal times and accurately catch them against the individual’s verbal sentences. So body language magazine carry about five times as much impact as the verbal channel and that, when the two are incongruent, people rely on the non-verbal message; the verbal content may be disregarded.
