✦ First Date Advice ✦
DOS:
- ☑️ Prepare for your first date mentally and emotionally, by reflecting on what you want to get out of it, what you want to say and ask, and how you want to behave.
- ☑️ Dress in a way that reflects your personal style. Wear clothes that make you feel comfortable and attractive.
- ☑️ Try to be as well rested and relaxed as possible, so you can show your best side.
- ☑️ Pick an activity that encourages communication and having fun.
- ☑️ Be a good listener, so the other person feels important and heard.
- ☑️ Plan your time well to avoid extra stress and discomfort. Leave some space for improvisation too!
- ☑️ Observe your date’s body language and stay alert for signals…
- ☑️ Try to make eye contact, stay focused on your date, and SMILE!
DON’TS:
- ❌ Don’t talk about past relationships on a first date – A GOLDEN RULE! If you do, you may leave the feeling you’re not over your ex yet…
- ❌ Avoid asking questions that are too personal, or touch on sensitive topics. You wouldn’t want to offend the other person on your very first date, or appear too pushy.
- ❌ Do your best not to complain when you’re out with someone for the first time… That is a big turn-off for both men and women.
- ❌ Try not to look too casual, play it too cool, or act as if you are not interested, if you are. Show you’re taking the other person seriously.
The best first date advice would be to treat the other person the way you would like to be treated… This applies to all your personal relationships, so do keep it in mind. Make time to reflect on how you want to come across and put effort into the way you look, so you feel confident and SHINE! ✨
