Date Like a Pro

So you are active in the dating scene but have not been doing quiet great lately. It could be that you are dating for such a long time that it has become like an chore. It could also be that you have stopped dating due to some unfortunate experiences. Here are a few basics specifically targeted to women who would like to put the 'fun' in your date life. These are the very basics that you might have forgotten most of them already.

1. Expect not.

Yes, for most women, it's normal to expect your first date to be wonderful with that seemingly perfect guy you ran into somewhere. But hey, this is your first date. Just hang out, have some fun, and just let yourself enjoy the moment of knowing someone new and the rest will follow. If the date sucks or the guy turns out to be a jerk, you can always say no for a second date or make him into your friend or buddy, (if that's possible). How simple is that.

2. Don't Think About S-E-X (yet).

This should be true for girls, though I know most guys would not agree. It is your choice really but if you want to have something to look forward to, maybe put the thought off for a couple of dates or meetings. There is always a next time if the first date turns out to be great, right? Now, if it is something that is really unavoidable, just be safe always and don't get it on unprotected no matter how charming he is.

3. Lay off the booze.

This is quiet obvious I know but a lot of first dates turn into disaster when drank too much or just totally forgot about what happened because you were too drunk to even recall your dates name or if you even went home. Enjoying doesn't mean boozing up like this is your last night on earth. A couple of drinks knowing how much you can really take would be good enough to loosen up a little and flirt a little.

4. No matter how perfect you think the guy is, STOP, imagining he might be the ONE.

of course, we all have dated those too-good-to-be-true kind of fellas, or the almost perfect honey that is 'above your league' and you couldn't help but imagine he might be the one. Or you might think that luck smiled on you this time. Girl, don't ever, ever let yourself fall into that trap thinking he might be the one or that he could be the perfect boyfriend at this early stage, no, no, not yet. Save yourself from a heartbreak later on. Those first few dates must be enjoyed just for the sake of it, that's all. This is not the time to dream about a long-term relationship with anyone.

5. Don't call or send SMS to him the day after.

This should easily follow if you have thought of no. 4 above. No matter how cute or how cool you think he is, as much as possible, don't be the first one to call the guy you dated. You may do so two or three days after that date, by a simple "How are you?" or just a "Hi". Honestly, if he hasn't given you a call or even just an SMS by that time, you should have an idea already that he is really not that into you. In such a case, move on. Forget about this guy and think maybe he fell into a blackhole, you get the idea.

Dating is not really that complex and it could turn out to be a really interesting and exciting stage in a woman's social life if you know how to handle it well. Always remember to put the 'Fun' in your dates because no matter how lousy it could turn out, there is always a next date with a different person.
