What to do on First Date?

The first date has to be the most nerve wracking one but once you get over the initial climbing up The Frozen Mountain routine you should be well on your way to actually enjoying this experience and this is what you should bear in mind from the beginning. You actually want to have a good time with someone you wish to date so here are a few first date tips you should keep up your sleeve.

After focusing on the right location for both of you make sure you turn up appropriately dressed and with the right etiquette for the occasion and come prepared with a little gift of appreciation to your Date for turning up and oh this applies mainly to the gents to give the gift but nowadays a Lady can also surprise her Gent with a small token, especially if you know what his hobbies are. If you are the Gent then make sure you have your hand well entrenched in your wallet to make the payments for whatever you will be snacking on unless your Date is a staunch Feminist and INSISTS on paying a portion of the meal. Do not just wait for your Lady to do the paying as that is a sign of a lack of confidence on a Man's part. Make a point of going somewhere that is affordable to you so you won't look a like div if you are in a place way above your means. Remember confidence and being at ease are the keys to your having a good first date.
When engaged in conversation don't talk too fast like a runaway train but take breaths in between and do a good dose of listening and take the conversation as you would a dance. If you are dancing too fast you may tread on your partner's toes, well the same thing goes for speaking too.

If you both have had a good time together and you see a chemistry building give your date a peck on the lips when saying good bye to let that person know you like them. At the end of the date respect commands the day and asking for too much from your partner to be all at once may be a turn off. Offer to take them to where they feel most comfortable and at a reasonable time so you show concern for their safety without being too overbearing. In the aftermath of the date if you want to go out again for a second date phone them in good time, a day or two after the date is the best timing, even if you mean to meet at a later date. Do not keep your Date in suspense as this is a sign of bad manners and immaturity. Even if you don't feel you want to meet the same person again phone them up to say thank you and explain to them the situation in a soft tone and gentle way. This way you won't lose out as you may not have gained a lover but you may just find a friend.
