Surviving That First Date Horror
By Hannah Taylor
First dates can be daunting but this collection of words will offer a few
hints for not only surviving a first date but also ensuring a second one. You
can not only survive your first date but guarantee a second one by carefully
planning the date whilst remaining flexible, being tidy, polite and courteous,
being relaxed and honest on your date, being committed to having a good time and
sharing interesting information about yourself without monopolizing the
conversation. These hints will help you survive that first date horror and also
go a long way towards securing a second one.
Careful planning will help you to survive your first date and may lay the
groundwork for a second date. Ensure that you plan out the date in good time and
make arrangements to ensure that the date runs smoothly. On a first date it is
best not to leave anything to chance or to rely on making instant decisions
about what to do next. Doing so can create uncomfortable moments on the date and
create tension. Don't just plan out what you would like to do on the date but
also map out the best routes to arrive at your destinations and arrange
necessary reservations in advance so you don't wind up not being able to find
your destination or waiting a long time for an activity. While careful
preparation before the date will ensure that everything runs smoothly and will
eliminate any unnecessary tension on the date, you will still need to remain
flexible. Despite your best efforts, you may suffer a snag in your plans and
being flexible and willing to adapt will prevent you and your date from being
frustrated on the date. Your date will be impressed that you went to so much
trouble in planning the date and will be flattered by your efforts.
Key characteristics for surviving a first date include tidiness, politeness and
courteousness. While these characteristics are important in any dating situation
they are particularly important on a first date. This is your chance to make the
kind of first impression that your date will admire so make an all out effort to
try to impress your date. Put extra effort into your personal appearance and
strive to remain polite and courteous at all times during your first date.
Showing your date that you respect them by taking pride in your appearance and
treating them with respect will help you to not only survive a first date but
also guarantee a second one.
If you want to survive a first date and guarantee a second one, it's important
to be relaxed and honest during your date. If you are tense or evasive, your
date may not trust you and will not be comfortable on the date or eager to go
out with you a second time. If you try to be something you are not, your date
will most likely see through your charade and will be put off by your
dishonesty. Additionally, they most likely will not be interested in pursuing a
second date. However if you relax during your date and are completely honest
your personality will shine through and impress your date enough to entice them
to be interested in a second date.
Committing yourself to having a good time on your date will help you to survive
and guarantee a second done. If you go into a first date with apprehensions or
prejudices, you will find yourself not having a good time. It is extremely
difficult to enjoy yourself if you aren't open to the experience. On the other
hand if you are truly optimistic and are looking forward to your first date, you
and your date will most likely end up having a great time. Your optimism and
attitude will be infectious and will ensure that both you and your date
thoroughly enjoy the first date and are eager for another.
Finally truly being interested in sharing details of your personal life and
learning more about your date will ensure that you survive a first date. If you
don't open up to your date and show them who you really are, they will most
likely not be interested in a second meeting with you and they will certainly
not share much about themselves during that occasion. If you are not afraid to
share personal information about yourself and use good listening skills, you
will have a very successful first date.
Many singles find themselves nervous and apprehensive on a first date because
they worry about how they will get through the date and whether or not this
first date will lead to future ones. It's okay to be nervous about a first date
but following the advice in this article can enable you to not only survive a
first date, but also guarantee yourself a second date. About the Author Hannah Taylor is a successful relationship counsellor in the UK. For a free report entitled Money, "Sex and Children - How to Avoid Life's
