Dating Tips – Dating Advice for Your First Date
ByI don’t like to call a “first date” a first date. And if you’ve taken my classes or you’ve hired me as your dating consultant and coach, you’ll understand why. It’s really more like a meeting. And given that, it should be treated as such. Here are some tips to help you keep focused and your senses about you when you meet new people.
1. Keep the meeting short. Meet for 30 to 60 minutes. That’s it. This isn’t a time to do a complete dump of your life history – there definitely won’t be enough time for that. Keep things short and sweet. Leave him or her wanting to find out more – on a future date– should there be one. Look at this as a time to gain an “overview” of the new person.
2. Keep things “light.” First meetings are not the time or place for airing deep issues. Have fun, share some interests, and try to gauge whether there’s any chemistry or not.
3. Avoid food or alcohol. Keep your senses about you. If you can’t focus on the other person exclusively, without distractions like a meal or alcohol, then there probably isn’t a good fit. You need to be comfortable having conversations without all the props. People need to like you because of who you are, without all the accessories.
4. Meet in the morning or afternoon. This keeps things light and easy. Reserve the evening for more serious dates once you get to know each other better.
5. Don’t over dress. Dress in your regular everyday attire. Don’t over dress or accessorize. Be yourself. He or she is going to eventually see the real you – so the best way to see if someone really likes you is to be your authentic self.
