Five Do's And Dont's On A Blind Date

1. BE YOUR NORMAL SELF
Dating is all about being yourself and it is important to come across
as a nice guy who is polite and courteous all the time. Remember, things
could take a different shape altogether if the friendship tirns into a
relationship. Don't project yourself as the guy you would like to be - just
be what you are. For instance, if you want to dance, ask your date in a very
straightforward way instead of putting it in a pre planned, superficial
" Can i have the honour of this dance? " kind of way. Your date might just end
up secretly laughing at you.

2. DON'T SHOW OFF
Being honest with your date always helps. Trying to play with words and rattling
off smart-alec comments in James Bond style will unnerve your date. And just because
your date happens to be intellectually inclind, borrowing lines to show off will
fail to create an impression. In fact, it may just end up displaying your ignorance
and lack of originality.

3. DON'T EXPECT TOO MUCH OUT OF THE DATE
When one is on a date, the only way to enjoy oneself is to have an open mind.
If you go out on a date expecting your partner to be a stunner or a rocket
scientist, you're most probably going to be disappointed. Remember, trying to
prove your intelligence to your date or her lack of intelligence will not get
your anywhere. In fact, it will just make the atmosphere tense and uneasy.
Try to relax, lose your inhibitions, and have fun. After all, that is the main
reason why the two have you have come on a date in the first place.

4. DON'T BE A PERVERT
Try to keep your focus above her neck-line and don't make your date uneasy by
staring at all the wrong places. Staring and making sexual advances will only
scare your date. Besides, it is highly impolite and it sends out the wrong signals.

5. RULES OF A FIRST DATE
One must not forget that there are certain rules that one should follow on the
first date. These rules were made for a reason and following them will only do
you good. Don't be too presumptuous on your first date. It is not necessary that
your date fall head-over-heels in love with you at first sight, no matter how
good-looking you are. Being a little reserved won't hurt anyone. In any case,
if you pull the wrong string, you will only end up going home with a bad experience.
