Early Dating Tips

  • Favor a man who can appreciate your own personal assets, so you don’t feel the need to change.
  • Wear a nice dress — something you look nice in.  You may want to avoid wearing something too tight or that shows too much skin.  First, get to know him, then wear whatever you like.
  • Behave nicely and be polite but know your limits.
  • A movie is a poor first date.  You won’t have time to speak and get to know your prospect. Consider meeting for coffee.
  • For lunch or dinner, offer to pay the bill. If he wants to pay offer to pay your share. Nowadays, that is good etiquette. If its just coffee, let him pay.
  • Don’t let him fall silent. get him to talk.
  • Be honest. Let him know how you really think and feel.  Let him know your limits. Don’t act someone you are not, especially do not hide your intelligence. Do you want someone who resents your intelligence?
  • Listen carefully to his views, tastes, likes and dislikes. On the other hand, leave some things about yourself unsaid, for the future.
  • First dates are sweet.  Accept that and enjoy it but remain sober for now in dreams about a future together.
  • Don’t drink too much alcohol. You can drink on the first date but know your limits.
  • Tell your friends and family about your date — where you are going and with whom.
  • When saying goodbye stick to a handshake.  Don’t offer a kiss or a hug.  If he tries to kiss you, tell him politely, pleasantly and with a sense of fun to save it for the next date.  In some cultures a peck on the cheek is OK.

When the Relationship Matures

  • Give him space if he needs it.  Don’t cling.
  • Remind him of how much you care for him, and how much he means to you — he loves to be admired just as much as we do.
  • Speak up if he treats you in a way upsets or discomforts you.
  • Let him hang out with his buddies. Also let him pick his friends. If you trust each other you shouldn’t have to worry because you will know in your heart that he wants you.
  • Assert yourself when something is important to you.
  • Encourage him and motivate him to be better. He will value that you care about him and his future.
  • Don’t try to change him. You were attracted to him…why try to change him? It will only confuse him. Appreciate him for him.
  • Later, when the time is right and you really feel it, tell him you love him. Don’t rush it. Let love come to you first. For now enjoy being with him.
