Dating tips:
Sometimes,
"Basic Common Sense Evades Us"
____________________________________________________
-
Answering your cell phone several times
during a date is inappropriate. If you need to answer your
phone, the polite thing to do is tell your date that you
will need to do this at the beginning of the date so that
he or she doesn't take it
personally.
-
If you are rude to the wait-staff, your
date will think it's just a matter of time before you are
equally rude to
them.
-
If there is ever a lull in the
conversation, go with a compliment. People love to be
complimented.
-
If you are dressed well, show up with a
positive attitude, and make interesting conversation, you
can usually count on a second date.
-
Do not discuss past relationships too
early in a new relationship. This should be about the new
person, not the old one.
-
Even a subtle makeover can do wonders for
someone's self esteem.
-
People who act confident and maintain eye
contact are perceived as warm and caring.
-
If you would like to see your date again,
ask them for a second date before you leave. Don't wait to
call them in a few days.
-
When judging a person, start with the
positive attributes…. Are the "negatives" really that
bad?
-
Love at first sight can happen, but for
most of us, it takes time to get to know people, to
discover if someone is thoughtful, kind, fair-minded and
interesting.
-
Don't get hung up on finding your "soul
-mate." You might find one, over time, if you're open, but
"the one" doesn't usually knock you off your
feet.
-
Don't stereotype people. You can overlook
a potentially loving companion who doesn't happen to fit
your image of
perfection.
-
Don't be overenthusiastic about someone
you've just met. Don't jump on a potential partner too
quickly. If you see someone you like, be warm, friendly,
and take your time. Don't scare them off with too much
intensity too soon. They might feel overwhelmed or
trapped.
