Picking Up Your First Date Location ^^

Well...everyone's been on a first date right? First dates aren't normally the most relaxing of events. Still, they don't need to create any more stress than already exists, either. Hehehe...for those who are looking forward to first dates with someone new..hrm...check these tips below that I got and see if it's applicable to you..perhaps it might applicable to me also..who knows...hehehehe....feel free to drop more suggestions for those who encountered it:

1. Dating Rule: First Dates Should Be Affordable

A first date is simply that - a primary interaction to get to know someone better. Leave the big bucks for later should things work out and try to keep the total expenses affordable for both parties, especially if you plan on going dutch. (psst...we are not interested how much you got in your wallet okay...don't assume all ladies are like that).

2. Dating Rule: Find a Place With a Talkable Space

You'll get shushed at the movies and have to yell in a crowded bar. Think about your first date location and whether or not you can comfortably talk in it without too much interruption. Getting to know someone new is the focus of a first date, which is next to impossible without conversation. But keep the conversation equal though. Talking too much about your ownself is borrriiinggggggg~

3. Dating Rule: Keep It Comfy

Comfy clothes, that is. A new outfit for a first date might be a lovely gesture, but what if the two of you decide to go for a walk after dinner and your new (and not broken in shoes) make the entire experience miserable? Opt for comfortable, flattering, dependable clothes that won't pinch, sag, break, ride up, or otherwise leave you potentially fiddling all night. You might give the wrong message to your date that you are not interested...as you are too busy minding your clothes rather than concentrating to the conversation. ^^

4. Dating Rule: Make the First Date Location Easy to Find

If your chosen location is more than thirty minutes away or requires a map to find, it's time to seek out another place to meet. If things go well on your first date you can always sweep your sweetie off to a unique and hard-to-find location another time. "Hello...I had passed by the same place...I can't find that bloody restaurant!"

5. Dating Rule: Ensure a Non-Alcohol Based First Date

There is nothing wrong with having a drink on a first date. Making it a requirement to drink on a first date however is a sure recipe for disaster. Avoid locations that have a drink minumum or situations where your date may feel pressured to imbibe. Besides, it wasn't impressive to see your tipsy/drunken face...geez~

6. Dating Rule: Allow for Time to Interact

Some great involve so much activity that there is no time to interact one on one. Therefore, if you choose to attend a dinner theater or take a tennis lesson together, make sure you've allowed for some down time afterwards to chat. But to play it safe, better avoid tiring activities...

7. Dating Rule: Make the Event Enjoyable

Don't think that by taking your date out to do something you hate you'll be winning brownie points. You won't. Instead, make sure that whatever activity you share is enjoyable for the both of you.

Have fun and good luck! =)
