1. Never be someone you’re not

Look at our friend Aladdin. He pretends to be
a prince in hopes that this will get Jasmine to
fall in love with him. But it just upsets her
more. Turns out, she wanted him for who he
really was — and it isn’t until he reveals his
true identity that the relationship flourishes.
Just be yourself.

2. Don’t give up if it’s awkward at first

Belle and the Beast didn’t hit it off right
away. Was it because he was holding her
hostage in his castle? Perhaps (not the best
move, dude). Though, by the end, Belle saw
him for who he was on the inside, not the
outside.



3. Keep things exciting

A first date shouldn’t be dull. Is dinner and a
movie really what you want to do? Live on the
edge, get your heartbeat racing, go to the
elephant graveyard — it worked out well for
Simba and Nala. Sure, they got into a little
trouble, but it was a turning point for them
and allowed their friendship to grow into a
romance.

4. Don’t make it more complicated than it
needs to be

Don’t think too hard and try to impress so
much that it hurts getting to know your date.
For instance, Ariel wishes to win the love of
Prince Eric so badly that she sells her voice
for the opportunity to do so, which ends up
further complicating the situation. Keep the
drama to a minimum.

5. Push past first impressions

Hans mischievously tricked Anna into falling
in love with him by exploiting the fact that
she so desperately wanted to find her
soulmate. Spoiler alert: he ended up being a
not-so-Prince Charming. The lesson that we
should take is to ask questions and hold
meaningful conversations beyond just simple,
skin-deep banter. Don’t let the idea of falling
in love get in the way of making sure the love
is real.

6. Be open to differences
We can turn to Tarzan and Jane for a perfect
example of this. Two completely different
worlds merging together, one a lifestyle of
wealth and the other of simplicity and nature.
And you’re not going to date that guy because
he doesn’t like the same music as you?


7. Don’t worry about other people’s
opinions

Never turn down a date because you’re scared
of what someone else will think. Sure, it’s
important to hear others out, but in the end
you should always make your own decisions.
Pocahontas and John Smith may not have had
the approval of their friends and family, but
they saw it through because it made both of
them happy.


8. Don’t be a robot

Some people repeat the same jokes and
stories on date after date, but repetition
subtly makes you sound programmed. Instead,
be spontaneous. Some of the best memories
happen in the spur of the moment, like Eve
and Wall-E’s sky dance, zigzagging through
endless space, creating literal sparks. For two
robots, a lot of personality shines through.
Think, what will your sky dance be?


9. Nobody likes a control freak

Tiana was hardly ecstatic about transforming
into a croaking creature. But she eventually
accepted that everything would work out fine
with Naveen, as long as they were frogs
together…and it did! Upon accepting their
future (and obviously with that classic Disney
kiss), they took their human forms.

10. Try dating outside your circle
While there is nothing wrong with having a
type, sometimes requirements harm more
than help. Don’t be so closed-minded that it
gets in the way of you finding someone.
Nobody believed Cinderella could be Prince
Charming’s perfect match, but we all know
how that turned out.


11. Show your interest

This romantic gesture illustrated so
effortlessly over a bowl of spaghetti in “Lady
and The Tramp” is the perfect example.
Something as little, and as simple, as sharing
your food is a surefire way to show that
you’re comfortable with this person.


12. Keep it casual

It doesn’t have to be a formal first date in
order to make a connection. In “Sleeping
Beauty,” what started out as your normal solo
dance routine in an enchanted forest with
animal friends quickly turned into a romantic
moment for Aurora when Prince Phillip
showed up by her side. Why not invite
someone along for your typical, low-pressure
everyday activities?


13. Go for it

Rapunzel definitely demonstrated this when
she escaped the tower and found love. You
know the person you always see at the gym,
but are too scared to talk to? Confidently ask
them for a date. Say “yes” to an unexpected
invitation. Be bold, break free from
whatever’s holding you back, and people will
want to be with you. (Wait, you’re not actually
locked in a tower, are you?)
