First Date Ideas & First Date Tips

Dating Skills for Women

1. Be on time. Unpunctuality is a fault with *no* redeeming features. (However, if your date is late, don't let it spoil the evening -- remain pleasant!)

2. Wear something that makes you feel pretty -- an outfit that's proved itself, with comfortable shoes.

3. Tell yourself you're not nervous, just excited.

4. Read a newspaper or watch a news program that day so you'll have something to talk about and sound as if you know what's happening in the world.

5. If you can begin with the exchange of warm relaxed smiles, you have a lot going for you.

6. Be open -- to him, his plans, and the shape the evening takes.

7. Use every opportunity to be observant, sensitive, perceptive, and appreciative of what your date does or may have done.

8. If something embarrassing happens, "confess" so that you can both laugh over it.

9. If you're having a good time, let him know it.

10. Call him because you've just heard something that he'd love to know about, a joke on a favourite subject, or a piece of news relating to one of his heroes. He will feel that you two are really on the same beam, and it will encourage him to think of you when *he* has news he wants to share with someone.

11. Be busy. Projects of your own make for much more interesting discussion than last night's TV program.

12. Caring about each other more than petty victories is the essence of positive loving. Equality is not measured by a single act.



Dating Skills for Men

1) Don't lie. Never lie. NEVER. Its OK for one night. You lie thru your teeth to be interesting. Great ! You get the second date. Now you have to be consistent with all the lies you told on your first date. Tricky. Five dates later you have to revise for two days before each date.

2) Don't pretend to be someone you're not. Your date might like this other person. She'll call this other person, she'll come to see this other person, she might even sleep with this other person. But when she says F*** YOU, she'll be saying it to you not the other person.

3) Never surprise your date with a movie, meal etc on the first date. Not until you've got some vague idea of her likes and dislikes. Putting a poor unsuspecting girl thru 'Meatslayer And The Wartoids From The Planet SoftPorn' is not a good idea.

4) A sense of humour (refined if possible) is your best ally. Women like someone that makes them laugh.

5) Clean nails. VITAL.

6) Don't lie to anyone else about the date and what happened. It
always goes horribly wrong.
