How To

How to act on a first date

It should be exciting and enjoyable on your first date. You want to have a good time. So, what are the best ways to do this?

First, remember that you don't need to know everything about someone immediately. It's okay to be unaware of his hobbies and interests. He may not be interested in these topics. The fact that you don't yet know everything about him doesn't necessarily mean that you won’t enjoy spending some time with him.

Keep it lighthearted, second. Don't take yourself too seriously. If you find yourself getting nervous, then just relax. This is supposed to be fun!

Third, get to know each other's interests. Ask your partner questions about what interests them. You should learn as much as you can about each other.

Fourth, be attentive to what he is saying. Pay attention to how he speaks. Pay attention to whether he uses words like "I" and "you". Pay attention to how fast or slow he talks. Listen to what he says about himself and about others.

Ask open-ended questions fifth. Ask questions that will require both of your answers. For example, instead of asking, "What kind of music do you like?" ask, "Do you prefer listening to classical music or rock/pop?"

Sixth, pay special attention to your body language. Be aware of signs that he likes and respects you. Take note of the way he holds onto your hand when he speaks to you. Are you able to see hand gestures? Does he seem comfortable around you? Is he smiling? These are all great indicators that he loves you.

Seventh, pay attention to signs that he doesn’t enjoy you. These signs are important. What does he do when you touch his face? What happens if you look into his eyes and touch him?

Finally, if the person you like, start to kiss him. It's perfectly fine to start kissing him right away.

If you don't like him, tell him so. Tell him you don't think there is a future between the two of you.

If you're not comfortable with the idea, say so. Tell him you're not his type. Perhaps you prefer to spend your time with someone who shares your interests.

It's also possible to tell him about someone you already know.

You could even mention that you feel sorry for him. He might have some nice qualities, but hasn’t found anyone special yet.

This would be a great thing to do.
