Ladies !! These Are Things You Shouldn't Do On A First Date by prettytasha(f): 7:06am On Jun 20, 2015 |
1. DON’T be wishy-washy. Nobody—and we mean nobody—likes a pushover, so if your date tells you he’s planned dinner at a sushi joint and you don’t eat fish, or he wants to hang at a cocktail lounge but you don’t drink, speak up. It’ll only look weird if you tell him all that after you’re already seated and waiting to order. Same goes for being decisive: If he asks what you’d like to eat, drink, or share for dessert, don’t say “I don’t care, whatever is fine.” Verbalizing what you want isn’t bossy, it conveys confidence—and is incredibly attractive. Having the personality of tepid water, however? Not so much. 2 DON’T show up late on purpose. On a first date, you’ll make a stronger impression if you show up on time. Would you want him to show up late? Probably not. Huh? It takes you two hours to do your hair and makeup? Sounds like you’re perfectly aware of that fact, which means you’ll know exactly how much time you need to prepare ahead of time, even if it’s five hours (no judgment!) 3. DON’T be surgically attached to your phone. This is the big one, ladies: The act of compulsively checking your phone every two minutes could be a bonafide deal breaker. There’s nothing ruder than trying to have a conversation with a person who’s constantly stating at their screens—wouldn’t you be put off if he were paying more attention to his iPhone than to you? While you’re at it, we know it’s commonplace for folks to keep their cell phones on the table, but it’s not polite when you’re getting to know somebody. Responding to every beep, text, alert, and vibration is distracting and unnecessary. Be mature and keep it in your bag, and glimpse at it while he goes to the bathroom, if you must. Similarly, do not post any status updates, tweet about your date in real time, or snap any candid Instagram pics, or post to Snapchat when he’s not looking. That’s just creepy. 4. DON’T think it’s cool to not eat. Most guys will freely tell you that there’s nothing more cliché (read: lame) than a girl who doesn’t eat on a date . If you think not ordering dinner, or only taking a birdlike bite of your entree will make you appear skinnier , prettier, sexier , more feminine, or more mysterious, guess what? It won’t. What it will do? Probably not get you a second date. 5. DON’T sit there like the Queen of Sheba when the check comes. Even if you’re of the firm belief that your date should always pay, it’s a mistake to assume he will—especially on the first date. If he goes for the check right away, offer to split the bill, or at least leave the tip. He’ll probably decline, so make sure you offer to get the cab to the next destination, the movie tickets, or a round of drinks. However, if you offer to pay or split, be prepared to actually pay or split. Don’t play games. Not offering at all, however, could translate to entitled. 6. DON’T give TMI, too soon. Sharing personal details about your life after knowing anyone for 45 minutes is never a good idea. Want to get married on the beach in Mexico by the age of 3o, and have a baby boy named Henry by the age of 32? Keep it to yourself for now. Similarly, steer clear of personal topics like your contentious relationship with your mother, any ailments you have, or major work woes —all valid, but none are appropriate first date topics. 7. DON’T stalk him after the date—social, or otherwise. In today’s world, texting and catching up via social media is a viable means of communication after a date, but there are a few rules we all should follow. If you had a wonderful time and feel like shooting him a casual text later that night or the next day, go for it. A good text: “Had a really good time, thanks again!” is fine. A bad text: “OMG literally had the best time EVER, ur sooooo amazing and I can’t wait to see u again. Wanna do brunch with me and my girls tomorrow??! LMK ASAP xoxox!!!” is not. In addition, try to resist the urge to follow him on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Vine, Linkedin, or any other conceivable social network until you’ve gone out a couple of times. Even in today’s connected world, remaining a creature of (a little) mystery is a powerful thing.. my TWo cents 3 Likes |

That's so true. buh there z no way on earth I'm paying the bills he's the one who asked me out on the date, so he should be ready to pay for it. I can only offer to pay for mine or the tip. All those ladies who like forming on a date, wellu done oo! When a girl is eating... let's say, rice n chicken, she will eat the rice halfway, and cut small chicken so that she will look posh in front of him. stay dia dey deceive yaslf. I'm not saying u should eat lyk a goat, but don't form miss 'I can't finish all these' 1 Like |
