Dating: Going Back To Basics

By: Wayne James

When a person asks you for a date, how would you feel? Flushed, flattered, stunned, maybe? These are only a few of the possible reactions one might show when they are trapped in this situation. Usually, we often perceive dating as a social affair with a romantic atmosphere.

Dating is an exciting part of a person's life. It gives the thrill of meeting a new person and getting to know him/ her in a different way. Sometimes, the experience gets too overwhelming that a person may lose focus and forget some important things needed in dating.

First of all, you need to keep your composure when you are going on your first date. Don't show him that you are overexcited about the upcoming event. Getting over jittery or nervous won't help either. Just be yourself. Smile and graciously accept his request for a date. You can scream and jump up and down all you want when you get home.

Make sure that you dress simple enough to catch his attention but not to the point of looking like a weirdo gypsy. Remember that simplicity still does wonders. A guy usually goes for girls who don't overdo things to catch their attention. It should be the other way around. Never wear dresses that are too revealing or provocative. This may give the guy a wrong impression of you. What's worse is that he may think that you are sending him the wrong "signal". Simple make-up will do, not necessarily over-emphasizing those cheekbones and smoky eyes. Contrary to old belief, overdoing make-up may sometimes make a woman look more mature and old.

Making a conversation is the next thing you need to get focused on. Usually, the guy starts the conversation and it is up to you to sustain it. If you don't like the topic, do not tell it to him directly. You can switch the topic in a way that will not make him feel upset. Another tip is that you should not discuss topics that are controversial such as politics and religion. Complex and too intellectual topics like the scientific convention you attended last week are also not a very good idea. Overly intellectual girls make guys feel intimidated and inferior, which may causes them to move a step away from you. Don't get too talkative. Let him talk too. You both want to know more about each other, don't you? Try to be as casual as you can be. Not talking much may cause some awkward silence moments which are extremely uncomfortable. Look at him in the eye, and talk casually while smiling.

Remember your limitations. Focus on your objectives. You are going out on a date, no more no less. Make it known to him that you mean it. After the date, tell him how you appreciate everything and how you enjoyed your time with him. This boosts a guy's morale. It also increases the chance of another date with him. Maintain your mysterious aura by not telling him everything about you. Make sure that the most extreme thing he can do to you after a date is a light kiss on the cheek and nowhere else. Never get too intimate on the first date. Guys respect girls who respect themselves. Going further than a kiss on the cheek will make a guy take you less seriously. Self respect is more important than anything else. After everything, keep it in a diary to preserve the memory of that dating moment. Remember, just be yourself, try not to go near the extremes and you'll do fine. There are many dating opportunities ahead of you. Improvement goes along with constant practice. Enjoy your date!
