We've included the tips below to help with your first
dates. And even if you've been together awhile it doesn't
mean you can't have a 'first' date again!

Conversation:

DO:

Maintain good eye contact. Glancing about the room gives
the impression that you're really not interested.

Adopt a body posture that says you're alert and paying
attention to what your date is saying.

Ask questions and wait for a complete answer. Then take
your time to understand what was just said before asking
an appropriate followup question. The most interesting
people are those that are genuinely interested in you.

DON'T:

begin every sentence with 'I'
tell jokes, they can offend easily
talk money
talk business
monopolize the conversation

Ettiquette:

Make the first overture. It's a rare woman that does this
and she should be applauded and appreciated but it's usually
the guy's role. The tips that follow are written from a guy's
perspective but can certainly apply to the ladies too.

Have a plan. Don't call and then say 'I don't know,
what do you want to do?'

Dress accordingly and offer your date suggestions for
appropriate dress.

Don't drink too much, if at all.

Go somewhere you can speak in conversational tones and
spend time learning about each other.

Be positive and enthusiastic.

Escort her home. Dropping her at the bus stop just
doesn't make it.

Remain chaste, you'll appear much classier and in
control that way. It also adds a little mystery.

Call her the next day. That's when you show that you
are interested and want a second date.

Share your first date story with us, we may include it in an issue of our romance ezine
