10 Important, Easy Dating Rules for Your Success
Roy Barker
1) Leave the mobile phone off! Do not answer it if it is on Silent either.
You should only do this if you are expecting an emergency and I mean an
emergency. You only look like a deadhead, self-centered fool answering a
phone at a meeting that is important and that goes for all meetings. It's
inconsiderate and breeds contempt from the other party even if they agree to
you answering it. They're only being polite which you're not, if you do have
a ringing phone and answer it. This does not mean leave it at home - you may
need it later.
2) Don't smoke anything in the presence of others unless they also smoke and
for goodness sake make sure that no one near you is eating. Never smoke in
an area where people are eating even if they smoke. You would be a fool to
smoke in the presence of your date when they didn't smoke. If you're keen,
it may be time to think about not smoking in their presence again.
3) A good rule is not to talk about your achievements unless you are asked.
Bragging is more often frowned upon and puts people off early. Show some
interest in your date and their hobbies achievements and interests. If you
do this regularly enough, it will become a habit and your good social skills
will become very obvious to others including your date.
4) Find some way to compliment them. This is good practice even if you don't
think this person is right for you. What goes around comes around! This is
also a great building block for social skills improvement.
5) Smart casual attire is always good for the first date. Girls - don't go
over the top with jewelry. It looks crass and sometimes cheap! Subtlety is
the name of the game here. Boys - don't swear or cuss. It only indicates
ignorance and sometimes stupidity. It does not make you look tough. Your
actions and the way you deal with life will show how tough you are quickly
enough. Most people can find an adjective somewhere in their vocabulary to
describe things. You'll find that you can too!
6) Most girls like to be respected and despite their eye lashes fluttering
away in some scenarios, they are generally quite bright and one step ahead
of you. The more you treat them like your equal in conversation, the more
quickly you will identify a good match for you or not.
7) Most boys like to have interest shown in their achievements or interests.
In fact, you could just focus on this for the whole date and be safe if you
wanted to.
8) Eat like a human being - don't quaff down the food like it's your last
meal. Don’t fill up. This will ensure that you can feel good about doing
something after you've dined i.e. dancing, a walk even consider about going
to a different venue for coffee, dessert, dancing or a drink perhaps. Mixing
you're venues often displays varying behavior. If your date begins to swing
from a chandelier after one drink you may want to consider the future
carefully.
9) Boys - if you enjoyed your date, say so at the end of the evening. Follow
up with a thoughtful gift such as flowers to her place of work or her
doorstep. It does NOT have to be expensive. The surprise is what counts here
along with the fact that you have obviously thought about her since the
date. Hand write the card and leave a phone number she can catch you on.
10) Girls - try not to make yourself too available at the end of your first
date. But make your feelings clear with an element of subtlety. Whatever you
do not ask him if he will call again. Your mind set must be one of value and
that if doesn't call then there will be another who will.
One more thing - on your first few dates never and I mean never get in a
discussion of old boy friends or girlfriends, ex wives or husbands, nor
anything to do with these issues - Never!
