subject: Dating Tips - 5 Things To Avoid On First Dates [print this page] First dates can be awkward especially if you haven't been on a date in a while. It always helps to be prepared first when going on a date with someone as you never know in which direction the date will go in. In this article, we will take a look at some things that you will want to avoid when going on a first date.
Here's the first thing that you will want to avoid.
1) Avoid movie dates
One thing that you will want to try to avoid is making your first date a movie date. When you go on a movie date, there is very little communication involved. You have to silently sit near your date and be rigid for a few hours. This leaves room for very little interaction and is best if you reserve this until a later time. Here's something else that you will want to avoid.
2) Avoid talking on the phone
Many men make the mistake of talking on the phone while on their date. This can make a woman feel unappreciated as she got all dressed up for the night in question. Do yourself a favor and turn the phone off. This is the best thing that you can do for yourself when on a date with a woman. Here's something else to avoid.
3) Texting
Another phone rule, don't text while on your date. Texting shows that you would rather spend time texting someone else than being on the date with your lady friend. This can make a situation a little uncomfortable as she may feel as if you're not really in to her. You've heard the phrase "don't drive and text" - well don't text while on a date either.
4) Avoid talking about your ex
You never want to talk about your ex while on a date with a woman. One thing that women hates is when men talk about other woman in front of them. This annoys them and makes them very uncomfortable when you do so. Sometimes the conversation will go into that direction and if it does, you will want to refrain from talking about your ex as much as possible.
Hopefully you and your ex are still friends as this is something that you will want to mention to your date. You never want to bash your ex-girlfriend as your date will feel as if you will do the same to her. So keep this in mind.
5) Don't be unprofessional
One thing that you don't want to do is to act unprofessional to your date. You should be a gentleman at all times as this is something that women like. Open doors for her, pull out her chair at the table, and compliment her. These are all things that make a woman feel special and you can earn some "points" in her mind if you do so.
All 5 of these tips will allow you to have the dating success that you desire. Be sure to start using them now so that you can have success with women.
