The world of dating can be a scary and unfamiliar place for many people. With the Internet opening its doors for people to find a desirable mate, the possibilities of bad first dates has been higher than ever before. No matter where you meet a potential soul mate, there are certain tips to use when going out on that first date. Most of this advice can be used if you're setting up a date to meet an online friend, someone you met at a bar, or a person from work or school.
One tip to follow is to meet your date in a public area. Be it a movie theater, busy Chinese restaurant, or a night club, you should always meet in a public location. This will not only keep you safe if you're meeting the person for the first time, but you'll also have more things to do as opposed to meeting in a deserted parking lot or at the other person's apartment.
Remember to be yourself during the date. Don't put on any airs or try to be someone you're not. If there's something about yourself that you think would effect the relationship, be sure to get it out in the open in the beginning. This allows the other person to know who you truly are, and if they stick with you, it's because they know the real you.
Many people may also wonder why their date never called them after they met up. As a general rule, if two weeks has passed since you last heard from the person, it's a good idea to start moving on. Keep in mind that certain people are just not compatible, even if you feel like the date went well. Cutting off ties to your ex is also a good idea, since many people don't like if their new date constantly refers to an ex-lover.
Keeping all of this dating advice in mind will help you have a fun and fruitful date. The biggest thing to remember is to be yourself and have a great time. You never know what may come of that awkward first date!
