The Perfect First Date Tips: How To Make Sure You Get A Second Date

Do we really know the Do's and Don'ts of dating? After reading a number of articles about dating, it's clear to see that what one person likes isn't always what everyone does.

After speaking to friends and family, I think we all clear there are some standard things that we don't do and that's talk about the ex, I mean why would you surely the fact that you are single would say that he or she wasn't the right person for you hence the reason you are on a date now, so be careful not to fall into that conversation else you could be hearing that old faithful line of excuse me I just need the toilet to never see that person again.

• Mobile phone - we all need them we all like to keep check on who's doing what on Facebook this evening, or even checking those faithful dating sites seeing if that special person has come across your page, but really they are a complete put off when you're on a date and supposedly trying to impress this lucky person you are out with, we all want people who can talk to each other make you laugh and is interesting not someone who has to be emailed to get a conversation from


• Drinking - we all like a drink some more than others but a first day is not a time for excessive drinking; you don't want to become some babbling fool before you have even asked for their name take it slow for the first night the conservative approach is always good, gives u a chance to see what the other person is like lets you know if that second date is going to be on the cards as the last thing you want is a second date all because the beer goggles went on.

It's not always about what not to do though how are you to know what to do when on a date, what is it that impresses the other person enough for them to be falling at your feet before the night is over.

• Restaurants - I think it's pretty safe to say that taking the other person out for a meal is always a good start it's in a public place with plenty of people around so it gives security and gives you both a chance to talk without shouting over some banging music or being told to be quiet cause you have picked back row in a cinema.


• Dressing up - Now you might be a tracksuit person or just a casual person, but I think it's pretty safe to say that everyone likes a person who can make an effort once in a while and on an occasion such as a date to look smart is always a good start, to hear someone rushing back home to get changed cause they are too over dressed for the other person is not a good start.

Who said dating was meant to be easy maybe this is why a lot of people now like the online dating approach it helps to break the ice and to find out peoples likes and dislikes before you make a fool of yourself in person.
