Share your First Date Tips & Ideas
If
your first date comes from online dating
it is much better to think about exploring prospects
for a long-term relationship only after at least dating once
since
online dating gives you a larger pool of candidates,
. Yes, people these days are falling in love through email,
instant messaging, and phone conversations, but I cannot
emphasize enough the value of sizing up someone in person before
you do anything more substantive.
First Date Important Rule:
It is important that you exercise some precaution on the
first date. So I would strongly warn you against visiting
someone at home. For the same reason, it is better not to invite
someone over to your home. A public place is strongly
recommended where you can get to chat a little bit without the
pressure of staying too long or the need to be romantic. So stay
away from dates that require lot of planning (e.g. movies,
museums, public parks, etc.) or force you to stay at least for a
definite period of time (e.g. meal in a fancy restaurant). I
think a café attached to a bookstore is the best alternative
though if you want to make it more fun, a bar is a good
alternative. Once you finish your coffee or drink, you can
simply leave if things do not go very well. In both cases, there
is rarely any pressure to leave after you finish your beverage;
so it is easy to stay longer if you are having a good time.
Ideas and strategy for subsequent dates
It is very important to use creativity and imagination when you
are embarking on a new relationship or are already in a
relationship. By not just going to Olive Garden for every single
date, you are showing that you care for the other person and are
truly a romantic person. Believe me, a $150 meal in a high-class
restaurant might turn out to be no fun at all (your partner may
not like stiff places) and a $50 trip to the water park might
turn out to be a remarkable experience that might show a
completely different side of your date’s personality. In
other words, it is not so much about the price of the date but
rather, the quality of the date. Quality date does not rely on
price of the meal. But, at
this point since it is your First Date, it is fine to spend more money and choose places and
situations that would allow you to spend more time with your
date. |
