"you can tell a lot
about a person from first impression but what about
the first date"
-Katrina 1Sstclassladies
Dating.......is a nerve reckoning word for some of us when we hear it! You meet a guy or a lady and the initial first conversations are a breeze. Everything is always pretty chill when talking over the phone and the texting back and forth until..........one party asks of the other for a date. Of course you agree as you are interested in this person and then it kicks in.......OMG....what will I wear?, where are we going to?, what do i say?, what do i not say? So many things run through your head as you invision what this date will be like. Well we are here to ease your fears and calm your curiosity and give some tips on "The First Date"
BE YOU
First things first....always be you! The first date is the introduction of the two of you out or even in, in person. Dont come into this date acting a different way because of how you think they would want you to be. Dress how you would dress and not by what you think they want to see. Show the person your true personality: smiles, laughter, gestures, etc. This will allow both of you to know if your a person they want to continue seeing. Theres nothing truier than being yourself.
ENJOY THE MOMENT
Know that the first date could also be the last date! With that said enjoy and live in the moment. This could be the most impressive date youve ever gone on, so be sure to let your nerves go, exhale, and have fun!
LEAD THE WAY
This one is for the Ladies!!!! Believe it or not, all men are up to date or date savvy!! Though we as the females might be nervous about the date, they might be nervous about where to take us out on a date. Most of the time when talking a bit prior to the date you can get a sense of each others likes and dislikes which can make it a bit easier to say "ok, bowling" or "ok, dinner". If there isn't much sharing of the interests before hand then dont be afraid to initiate that specification of what you would like to spend the first date doing!
TO MEET OR TO PICK UP
Decisions, Deciosions....this can be a tough one! Not everyone drives and in some situations you have the woman who drives and the man who doesnt. Do you pick him up, HELL NO!!!!! We advise that the two parties meet at whatever location the date will take place. This saves on awkward pick ups, drop offs, and leaves a clean get away if this date is a FAILURE!!! On a positive note it also saves your conversation for the date and not for the ride in the car.
AMBIANCE
To our GENTS please please think of Ambiance when thinking about where to take your potential lady on a first date. A first date should not be at the following places:
- YOUR HOME
- A BAR
- A CLUB
- YOUR FRIENDS HOUSE
- YOUR MOMMA HOUSE
No unplanned group dates where your friends show up with their dates. Just you and your lady in a setting where you can get to know each other!
AREN'T YOU TIRED OF THE USUAL
Who isnt tired of the norm!! When planning a date, do your homework on some cool spots to have a date. Everyone doesnt want to do the dinner theme of a date. Some might enjoy more of an adventrous outting! Check out our "Date Night" posting!!
RUDENESS
In this day and age we know most cant live without their phones, laptops, ipads, and tablets! This will be a time when you will have to adjust. By turning your phone on SILENT and not necessarily off completely, it shows your date that you are 100% present. Who wants to be out on a date when hearing a phone ring and they pick up the call??? How RUDE!!!! That speaks volumes to the other party in saying "You just couldnt wait, could you" !!!!
GIVE ALITTLE
As the rapper Trina would say "Give a little thigh, Give a little hip" , Ladies NO NO NO NO NO NO!!! However you really like this man your out with its ok to show that with little gestures. Smile, laugh, giggle. You could manage at some point of the date holding hands, find yourselves being stuck in a gaze, could find yourselves in a long romantic kiss, you never know!!!
HAPPY DATINGS!!!!
