Dating Do’s And Don’ts For Gals

March 13, 2006 | Author: Cindy | Filed under: Dating Advice

Do you feel like you are wondering aimlessly out there in the dating world without a clue as to what proper dating etiquette is? Do you feel like you don’t know when and where to draw that line? Are you often the girl that gets passed over for that second date?

If just one of these questions comes up a yes for you, then it is time to take inventory and start dating smarter…
There comes a time in every single girls life, when she realizes that she just isn’t playing it as smart as she could. A few years ago I realized that I didn’t have a list of dating do’s and don’ts. I was flying by the seat of my pants and doing it badly at that! Then I began to take inventory. What were the key elements to a successful date? How could I ensure that I wouldn’t always be the girl waiting for the telephone to ring after hearing those dreaded words “I’ll call you.”
So if you are feeling that love has passed you, by try this simple list I have compiled before you give up on the whole dating scene:

Dating Do’s

Dress appropriately for the date. If you’re going to a ball game don’t dress in spike heels and a low cut dress.
Be interested and interesting.
Share at least three things about yourself; it lets him know something about you.
Compliment him. Who doesn’t like compliments?
Be on your best behavior. Never, never get drunk!
Thank him when he does something nice for you such as pull your chair back.
Be a good conversationalist. Show him that you are more than just a pretty face.
Eye contact is very important. This also shows interest.
Ask questions. This will give you a good idea whether you’re compatible.
Also, don’t be afraid to ask questions concerning values. Better to find out now…
Let him know you had a good time. This lets him know you might be open for another date.
Thank him for the evening.

Dating Don’ts

Don’t come on too strong or to eager. Any guy worth his salt will run!
Don’t make the first move when it comes to kissing or holding hands.
Don’t lie about the real you. If he doesn’t like you because of your religion, profession or because you have a Ph.D. then he isn’t for you.
By the same token, if he is an avid rock climber don’t tell him that you have scaled Mount Everest. The truth always reveals itself.
Don’t act eager for a commitment.
Don’t tell him your problems. It makes you sound like the walking wounded.
Don’t ask him about his ex or talk about yours.
Don’t Reveal too much too soon
Don’t Talk so much that you monopolize the conversation.
Don’t flirt with other men.
Don’t appear high maintenance.
Don’t try to make him jealous.
Don’t take him to a place your ex frequents.
Don’t assume you can change him.
And last but not least, if you know after a couple of dates he isn’t for you, move on.

The advise is good.but i thing many of us forget is that u should NEVER divulge any important infomation abt ua self on the first date.1.where u live/work/study.esp.if ur meetng 4 the 1st time some maybe stalkers esp.ii things don’t work out.
2.live the address of where u intend to be with some1 you trust eg.ua sista/brotha,friend e.t.c.
3.make sure you have enough money,incase of an emergency i.e transport,paying the bill e.t.c
4.make sure your cellfon has credit,so that you can call someone incase of anything.
