Dating Tips
...
A Date
Two people organizing to meet, and partake in some sort of activity together. Such as going to dinner, having drinks, going to a dance club, going to the movies or a theatre production, going to a sports event.
Dating
To go on a date with someone more than once can be considered dating. Not limited to just one person, some people will be dating a couple of people at the same time.
Seeing someone
Same as dating. Usually you have gone on dates, met a few times just to talk to each other, and possibly even spent the night at each others houses.
Dating Exclusively
Dating only one person exclusively. A more serious relationship then just casual dating, becoming an official couple.
Blind date
Two people meeting for a date, who have never met before. Usually organised by mutual friends. Also known as a "Set Up".
Long Distance Relationship
When two people seeing each other exclusively live in different towns, cities, states, or even countries. The LDR can work if both parties are both extremely devoted to each other, and are willing to make sacrifices for the relationship.
Dating Rules - Do's
- Always try to look your best and be on time for your dates.
- Remember to have fun! Although finding Mr or Miss Right may be a serious issue for you, dating is suppose to be fun.
- Flatter or compliment your date. Chances are they spent just as much time getting ready as you did, and its nice to hear praise for your efforts.
- Be interested in what your date has to say.
- Be honest with your date if you are not interested in seeing them again. Keeping their hopes up is a horrible thing, and you would hate to be lied to, so just tell them. In the nicest way possible.
- Date the kind of people that you like and are attracted to, and forget about what type of person your friends like. Their approval proves nothing.
- Stay positive even if your dates don't end well. We all have to date a few frogs before we find our prince, and who knows, you might make some great friends and contacts along the way.
- Be proactive in the search for a date. You can't expect people to come knocking on your door, so get out there and meet some people. Be friendly to everyone and practice your flirting.
- Surround yourself with positive like minded people who are also dating. Good friends assist each other in dating and romantic matters. Negative friends who disapprove of the dating scene or are not part of it, will only bring you down.
Dating Rules - Don'ts
- Don't call someone more than once a day, unless they reply. Desperation is a huge turn off.
- Don't repeat the same mistakes and date the same kind of people.
- Men should never ever be late for a date, as chivalry is NOT dead and a woman should not be kept waiting and have to seat herself.
- Don't lie to your date, or pretend to be something you are not. If things work out, having to confess a lie down the track could ruin things.
- Never be available all the time. Keep a little mystery about yourself, and be interesting and not always available.
- Don't tell everything about yourself from the start. Keep a little mystery about yourself, and your date will be left hanging for more.
- Don't check out other people when you are on a date. No matter how subtle you think you are, chances are they will notice and it is just plain rude.
- Don't get drunk on a date. You'll end up saying something you shouldn't.
- Don't trust anyone until you get to know them. Think about your safety. Carry a mobile phone with you, tell your friends where you will be, and have your first dates in public places.
- Don't give out too much personal information on the first date. Wait until you are sure of you date before giving your phone number and home address.
- Don't have sex on the first date if you want to continue dating them.
- Don't date a married person. If they are serious, they will leave their partner before pursuing another person. If you are married, separate first. If you are single, remember you deserve much better.
