Dating Do’s

1. Be Confident – This is probably the most important Dating Do’s that you can possibly focus on. Confidence is extremely important in dating and in life for that matter. If you don’t feel good about yourself, then do something today to change that. Go out and get your hair done professionally, go get some new clothes and surround yourself with people who are going to build you up and not break you down. You don’t need people who are negative forces in your life.
   
   
2. Be Attractive Dress for Success – The saying that “Clothes make the man” could not be truer in dating and in life. Let’s be honest, attraction and further more chemistry is first conceived out of visual contact with someone else. You know nothing about someone, but attraction begins at your appearance whether you like that thought or not. Go out and spend a few dollars in getting yourself clothed in reasonably current clothing that fits your age and body type. By paying special attention to how you look will pay off when you go out on your date. Your date will appreciate that you took the time to make a lasting impression.
   
   
3. Be Nice – Chances are that your date will also spend some time and/or money making themselves look extra special for your date. Be nice and pay them a compliment on how nice they look as they will also appreciate that you took notice.
   
   
4. Be Fun – Dating is fun so don’t ruin it and be a bore. Plan something fun that both of you are going to enjoy together. Having fun together is the first step in forming a lasting relationship. Those who play together, stay together.
   
   
5. Be Exciting – Act like you actually want to be on this date. Be engaged in your date and be interested in what they have to say and keep an upbeat attitude. Put on a smile and laugh once in awhile. Your date will feel more at ease and more interested if you give them the same back to them.
   
   
6. Be Honest – Do not lie ever! If you want this date to progress to anything in the future, you MUST not lie during your date. Do not be something that you not, because you will not be able to keep the lie forever and forever are what you’re going to get if the date works out. The last thing that you are going to want to explain after you spent years with someone is that it has been all a lie. No matter how big or small the lie was early on, it was still a lie which breaks down at the foundation of the trust that makes relationships lasting. Also, if you end a date and you have no interest in dating this person again, please be honest with them and do not lead them on.
   
   
7. Be Creative – Why does it have to be a “Dinner and a Movie”? There are thousands of activities that you could partake in for a first date. Try something that both of you have never tried before and it might just be the most adventurous day that you have ever had. Adventure is exciting and excitement is attractive in building relationships.
   
   
8. Be Positive – No one likes a complainer. Don’t bring up negative subjects because you want to create an exciting and fresh conversation. Although it’s important to discuss some topics, let’s leave your first date as 100% positive.
   
   
9. Be Proactive – Continue a forward movement and meet people. In fact meet as many people as you possibly have time for. Meet people at work, school, and local events, online dating sites and even church. In fact, every time you leave your house you should be thinking about how to meet more people. Dating will not come to you unless you go out and seek it.
   
   
10. Be a Match – It’s important to understand what kind of person you ultimately want if it develops into a more serious relationship. It seems that more and more people are interested in someone that is ultimately unattainable and/or just not right for them in reality. For example, some women are interested in the “bad boys”, but ultimately they lead to an abusive relationship that they never get themselves out of. Be careful folks and make sure you know what you’re looking for in a mate rather than just what is attractive to you.
    
    
11. Be Spontaneous - As explained in being exciting, being spontaneous goes hand and hand with it. Spontaneous brings adventure, mystery and excitement which are all attractive to most. Take an unexpected detour to some great place that your date has never visited or have a surprise waiting for them at the next turn.
