First Date - Do's And Don’ts
by Nicole Weirich

First dates are scary. Most people hate the idea of having to go on a first date. Will you like them? Will they like you? What do I talk about? It feels more like a job interview than a date. Here are some basic tips to make your first date with that special someone run a little more smoothly.

DON'T Talk About An Ex Or Past Relationship

Nobody wants to know about all the juicy details of your last relationship; that's something you save for much, much further down the line. Talking about other people you were once with can cause jealousy, or make the other person think you're still emotionally in that relationship, and turn them off.

DO Smile!

Smiling always sends a positive vibe out to people you're with, and you want your date to think you're happy. By frowning the whole time they might see you as a negative person who isn't fun to be with. So smile, I swear you will get a much better reaction.

DON'T Answer Your Cell Phone

I cannot stress enough how incredibly RUDE it is to answer your phone when you are with another person, especially if you are on a first date with them! By answering your phone, you're telling the person you're with that they aren't intriguing enough and you'd rather have a conversation with someone more interesting. Just turn it off! They invented voicemail for a reason.
