First dates sometimes offer a range of emotion from thrilling to terrifying! Here are some tips that will help things go smoothly:

#1: Be on time! Timeliness is expected, but being late (or too early) makes a bad impression. If you can't help being a little late, call before the expected arrival time.

#2: (for men) Do a "personal check" before the date - are your fingernails clean, hair neat, clothes ironed, shoes polished, and any odors under control (including breath)? Women look at these things and are aware if they aren't in check. You should be too!

#3: (for women) Don't overdo the make-up or perfume! In most cases, a little goes a long way.

#4: Don't go to the movies, the theatre, or a concert on your first date - you want to be able to talk and get to know this person.

#5: Don't "pull out all the stops" - keep it simple. The first date is more of an interview than an event.

#6: (for men) Listen! Don't spend all your time talking about things you already know. Your goal here is to find out about your date.

#7: Have something to talk about - read a newspaper or magazine of general interest. Try to find common things you both share.

#8: Keep an open mind and don’t argue. You don’t have to agree with everything your date says, but where you differ, offer an alternative idea rather than discounting it, and if you don’t know something ask!

#9: Remind yourself that your not nervous, you’re just excited. Calm confidence is very appealing!

#10: Have fun! That’s the idea of the first date.

Nuff respect

Gaajo!

BruceLee.....it all depends on how u feel about ur date and if they accept hand holdin' and kissin'...........i think kissin' on da first date is just too soon...........!! But most somali guys i've seen r in hurry not just for the kiss.....but they want it all the way on the freakin' first date.....it makes me wanna spit on thier face walaahi....!!

Tnx honey! movies are fine especially if you spend a lot of time talking on the phone :O. When you get the time to see each other make sure the whole day available and let everything just flow, if you try to control events too much, it might get a little tiresum...

I think you just know how it will be especialy if you got good communication with the person, to find out wether you can verbally tango together then you best be able to afford the calls.

All the rest is childs play!

Honey guess who?

*mwah*

:O
