Tips for Singles Dating
Being single is not always a curse! But with Valentine's Day around
the corner, most individuals are bound to feel a little blue about
being single on this day. Well, lets say that you do have some
interesting dates planned for the week and if you are single and ready
to mingle, but have a few butterflies in your stomach, then you are
not the only one out there! This is perfectly natural but you need to
overcome it, to turn your evening into a happy and successful affair.
Besides, you would not want to do anything 'wrong' on the lines of
Bridget Jones applying her make up the wrong way for her very
important date with Mr. Darcy. Although, this is normally referred to
as the dating game, remember this is not a race. There are certain
'rules' about dating that need to be followed if you really want to
have a relation that is for keeps. Need some tips for singles dating?
Got the jitters? Well, this is not a step-by-step guide to successful
dating but hopefully, it would help you meet your soul mate along the
way.
Tips for Singles Dating:
First impressions always last, so ensure you are dressed at your best
for the first date. This does not mean you can turn up like a slob for
the ones that follow, but try to be neat and tidy and look your best.
It would make your partner feel good that you did go through the
effort of looking good and besides you really don't want her to have a
look at your chipped and dirty nails! Go in for some beauty routine
that would have you squeaky clean for that very important date!
Singles dating that happens through any website may cause some jitters
as well. It was great to know him/her through chat, but most guys and
gals would often feel nervous about blind dating or meeting their
online dates for the first time. In such cases, singles would often
feel conscious with the way they present themselves. Questions such as
'Would he like me or not?' or 'Am I looking overweight?' will swim
through the minds of most individuals who date online. The chat offers
you the convenience of having an invisible wall between you and your
date and meeting in reality can be very different than chatting
online. In such cases, go slow with your approach, give time to know
each other as how a person presents himself/herself to you online, can
be miles apart from the his/her natural self. So, do exercise caution
in such relationships.
Be attentive and ensure both of you get an equal chance to converse as
well. Dominating the conservation is a big no no and may bore your
partner and eventually be a huge turn off! The last thing anyone would
want is a continuous ranting of somebody's achievements especially on
a first date.
Mind your Ps and Qs; there could nothing more awful than talking with
your mouth full or slamming the door on her face. Women would love
their men to mind their manners at all times! Laughing out way too
loud or even treating the waiter with disrespect may not score any
brownie points for you!
Tips for singles dating cannot be complete without the mention of
always being readily available for your date anytime of the day! This
would lead to a take-me-for granted situation and would also make you
an uninteresting person to interact with. This would sound strange for
singles but it would be advisable to actually turn your date down for
a few times.
Avoid lingering around over a long time over dinner for your first
date. Singles need to note this tip as this would save some
embarrassment if the both of you don't really hit off on the right
note. In such cases, if you are apprehensive about your first meeting,
then plan it over brunch or over a coffee, which can give you the
choice of scooting off, lest you find your date a big bore!
To flirt or not to flirt! That is the question! Dating and flirting go
hand in hand for most individuals and having harmless fun is ok for
singles on their first date. Remember to keep it subtle as this being
your first date, it may not go down really too well with your partner.
Know your date well; find out his/her way of thinking. Compliments and
praise that is genuine works fine but over the top flirtatious
behavior is not recommended for the first few dates!
When you choose the venue for the first date, do not just base it on
your choice and preference. That may create an awkward situation for
you in case your date turns out to be a strict vegetarian and you take
her to this hip joint that dishes out varieties in non-vegetarian
items. The easier way out would be to consult your date about the
venue and choose a destination you both would enjoy. Besides, your
date would appreciate your move about taking the opinion as well.
Singles need to note that you are not going to bump into a prince or
princess along the way without kissing a few frogs! Yes, that holds
true, if you are lucky, you might just meet the right match sooner
than expected, but if you don't, do not get hassled, it is just the
matter of time.
Avoid blurting out everything about yourself on your first date, this
can at times make you a boring person for the subsequent dates that
follow! Strange, but true, singles who are about to join the dating
bandwagon need to hold a few things back and reveal it as time goes
by. Talking about your ex would also not gel well and for this you
would really need to know your date on a personal level before you
begin sensitive topics like this.
Being fashionably late may be 'in' for you, but do not think your date
would always tolerate that. There is nothing more irritating than
waiting for your date endlessly and do not be surprised to arrive at
the venue to find the bird has flown the coup. Girls, if you take time
to dress up, begin in advance; after all, if you take the entire
evening to get ready, you would be left with hardly any time to spend
together.
You also need to gather all your confidence and courage to ensure you
give positive vibes when you are out on a date. It is natural to be
nervous but being nervous all the time and getting tongue-tied is
definitely not going to help you on the date. Relax and learn to enjoy
yourself, after all, you are supposed to have fun! Being your cheery
self can actually have a very optimistic effect on your date and may
generate more interest! Being confident about yourself can give you a
new high and can completely change your personality as well.
Tips for singles dating can be endless and can vary depending upon
every person but I am hoping some of the basics mentioned above would
help you have a wonderful time! After all, with Valentine's Day
approaching, love is in the air and I sincerely hope lady luck is also
with you! Best of luck!
