Never be late!
Always allow yourself enough time to put in that last curl or splash on that last
dash of aftershave WITHOUT making yourself late for the date! Being late for a date is one of the FIRST no no's as it shows that you do not respect the other person's time and is a reflection of how you may be in the future, not to mention sets the date off on the wrong foot as the person sits and waits and the excitement begins to dull.
Never be desperate!
There is nothing worse then someone at your apron strings. Never chase someone- persistence can kill! And, if you find yourself constantly calling, texting or emailing this is DEFINITELY overkill if the other person is not responding. It is a sign of desperation and to the opposite sex, it is a TURN OFF and won't have you in the arms of the one you are interested in.
Never date a mooch!
There is nothing worse then paying everywhere you go or constantly taking out your pocket book because the other person needs something. When the relationship is fresh, don't allow the other person to know how much money you make or how much money you have. When it comes to sex- well, men can be short sighted at times and you definitely do not want a man that comes on too strong or expects sex too early- this is a terrible sign. While you may be able to appreciate and be highly attracted to one another on the first date you definitely want to prolong the bedroom scene for a bit ensuring that you really are what he wants...and it does add for a stronger relationship. If the man is persistent, move on.
Never lie!
Be honest. There is no reason to exaggerate. You are on your first date, you got there because he or she is attracted to you- there is no reason to build yourself into something you are not- especially if you want to continue to date the person. There is nothing worse then being attracted to that great mate just to find out that you were feed a bag full of lies and your outlook on that wonderful shining human being is changed to them now being a dishonest loser.
Never come on too strong!
Whatever your reason for dating; whether it companionship, sex or to get married, never come on too strong. If you constantly talk about what you are after it is a turn off...never, never be stuck on your reasons especially on the first date...you definitely will have the other person feeling as though they are filling the gap.
Never play the waiting game!
Don't put things on hold. This means don't sit around and wait for the other person to call or come by. Keep active. It is best to not always be available, in fact there is nothing worst then someone sitting around waiting for that special someone to have time for them as they slowly begin to diminish their life. You want all the fulfillment in your life and the luxury of what the other person can add to it.
Never get under the influence!
This is a must! First impressions are VITAL and although you may be having the time of your life sipping those margaritas together, when you get a bit too tipsy or incoherent it is definitely not the magical moments you are hoping to share. And, never do drugs on your date.
Never flirt with others!
This is a surefire way to lose the interest of the one sitting right next to you! Although you may be up on your dating etiquette and think "of course" , if you find yourself "hitting it off" with your date’s friend and being a little too social able then you will be sure to be having an early night.
Never have sex on the first night!
This is very important and you may need to keep pinching yourself to avoid the animal attraction that you are experiencing. However, you will thank yourself for it in the long run! The first date is for getting to know each other, and if you happen to be dating someone whose only intention is sex then you were just used and likely not to hear from them again. Always, wait! You definitely will not lose someone by waiting.
Never open up too much!
There is nothing worse then giving too much away or rambling! Always keep your personal information private such as your address. In today's society every type personality comes in every type dressing, so be sure to know the other one before giving out any vital information that could cause you regret for life!
