| Dating Dos and Don'ts For Finding The Right Match Dating can be tough and first dates, both good and bad, are an inevitable part of finding a soul mate. The quest for love is seldom easy. But armed with helpful resources, some important guidelines, and a positive attitude, dating can be an adventure in meeting new friends and exploring life's possibilities. DO seek out weekend dates from friends, co-workers, and online dating services. The more you reach out to let people know you are available, the more dates are likely to come your way. DON'T try to be someone you're not. Too many brothas and sistas perpetrate and put up fronts. Acting like you are ALL THAT is a big turn off. You can still be cordial without having your nose in the air. DO learn how to ask open-ended questions. Allowing a person to explain an answer goes a long way towards you getting to know them. Instead of asking how was the movie, ask "What did you think of the movie?" DON'T talk about past relationships on the first few dates. No first date wants to hear how funny, attractive, or smart your ex was. Instead, spend this time learning more about the other person to find out if it's worth ordering dessert to spend more time together. DO be honest, playing games with someone's feelings ain't cool. If you are not looking for a relationship then say it. Honesty is the best policy. DON'T talk on your cell phone. Not only is this very rude, but it shows you as an unattentive person. DO be on the lookout for red flags. Break off any relationship at the first sign of anything that feels uncomfortable to you. DON'T make snap judgements about your date. Unless he or she is a complete loser, give them a fair shot before calling it quits. You may come to regret the hasty rejection of a potential love of a lifetime. FOR MEN DO be cordial to your date, saying thank you, please, and your welcome, opening doors, and pulling out chairs are just little things but they go a long way towards building your personality. FOR LADIES DON'T and I mean DON'T, no matter how much your hormones are jumping, or how hot you are, give it up on the first few dates. Men do NOT fall in love that easily!! Once a man has you physically, he usually feels less attracted to you. Love and Romance Pages <previous next 4 5> |
