Here Are Some Dating Dos And Don'ts

It's hard to distinguish between the current dating norms and the laws of love when today's dating practices are as diverse and colorful as Elton John's clothing.

The anticipation of a date is thus exciting. And then there's the fear of the approaching deadline.

Breathe normally as you repeat these instructions gently. Then, unwind.

The DOs: 1. Arrive on time

Simple enough. In anticipation of your arrival, your date doesn't want to become old. Forget being "fashionably late" and show there five minutes early to conduct your research and get prime seats.

2. Be you

Do not alter who you are, even if you are experiencing first-date jitters. Instead of any effort at a "better" version of you, your date wants to hang time with you. Therefore, feel free to be "you" as long as you are courteous and observant.

3. Taking turns

Make an effort to ensure that you are both speaking at about the same rate. To avoid talking only about yourself, follow up your statement with a question and pay attention to the replies.

4. Keep your cool.

Maintain your calm since they may be anxious as well. Sometimes you have to force yourself to grin or chuckle just a little bit to get things to loosen up (while making sure to stay true to yourself).

5. "Meet the parents"

If and when you do encounter their friends or relatives, do your best. Nobody wants to elaborate on why they are friends with that grumpy oddball who simply moans and looks at their phone. We're simply suggesting you can be quiet and still be courteous if you're feeling scared or timid around new people, which is absolutely OK.

6. Energize

You may enhance your confidence just before you arrive by turning up the music. And maybe choose classic rock over classical music to increase your heart rate!

7. Discard stereotypes

Yes, offer to split the cost; but, some individuals see this as a show of respect and retaining independence, particularly on a first date. Consider if you would offer to pay for someone if you were out with them.

Don't do anything because of your gender, whatever you do! If you arrive early, then sure, hold the door, get the beverages, get the jackets, etc. But do it for yourself, not because that's what other people expect of you.

8. Also provide some praise

Don't be scared to complement someone as long as it's sincere. Make sure it's about something admirable they did or said, not something like, "Whoa, you dropped weight!"

9. Set your phone aside.

Shut off your phone. AWAY from your phone! Seriously. Pootitaway.

The DON'Ts

1. Don't be fixated

Remember not to say anything strange (such as "Bread rolls are extremely odd!") while you were nervous. I may despise them. They must be present everywhere, why? Simply exhale, then continue.

2. Be patient

No matter how much you like this individual, hold off on like all of their Instagram posts or changing your relationship status just yet. One date does not imply a lifetime of companionship.

3. Disregard the cheese

The following and similar corny sentences should be omitted:

"I need directions because I feel lost in your gaze,"

Did it damage you? When you descended from heaven, I was saying, "I'm not drunk; I'm intoxicated with you!"

All of them are very awful.

4. Exceptionally terrible concept

Whether it's in a positive or negative manner, avoid bringing up your ex. Nobody is interested in hearing about the good times you had with them or how they hurt your feelings.

5. Don't hurry the actual work.

Feel no pressure to "achieve" anything. It's okay if you can't keep your hands off of each other, but try not to spend the whole evening wondering "how far" things will go.

6. Braggadocious

Have any inspiring ideas? Okay, but don't keep rambling on about how you're an ingenious businessperson and going to purchase your first Lamborghini. Ask them about how wonderful they are, even if any of it is real!

7. Don't "call all the shots," please.

Making decisions on your own is acceptable, but keep in mind that you are on a date with another person, therefore neither of you should be doing so.

8. Skip the date interview

Even while it's crucial to ask inquiries, certain queries might hinder an enjoyable or laid-back date. Stay away from inquiries like:

What are your main advantages and disadvantages?

What are your ten-year plans?

How recently did you update your resume?

9. Don't depend on anything to "quiet your anxieties"

Nobody wants to go on a date with someone who is entirely on a different "wave-length" from them because, oddly enough, it isn't enjoyable to spend out with someone who is off their rocker.
