Great first date tips

By: Lisa Jaye

What should be the simple pleasure of getting to know another human being can sometimes buckle under the weight of unrealistic expectations and the baggage of previous relationships. Here are some tips to consider when dating:

A shared sense of humor is important. Try to bring laughter to the date. Try to get a laugh out of the guy. That way you know you've got something. If he doesn't get your jokes what else is he going to "get" about you?

Women sometimes add unnecessary pressure because of the hope that this guy is "the One". Please don't do that to yourself. Remember it's just a date. Enjoy yourself and take things one date at a time.

Have realistic expectations about a first date. Some people start planning their wedding and others expect the worst. Usually all this will do is put a strain on the relationship before it even begins.

If you are meeting someone you know only through a personal ad or an online dating service be sure to go to a place with plenty of other people around. And do not blab out your whole life story on the first date. Keep it general: music, books, movies.

If the date goes well do not hang on until the wee hours of the morning. There will likely be a next time. Don't feel like you have to milk it for all it's worth. Just look forward to spending time together again.

Look for something creative and make sure it allows you to interact. It will help if the activity relates to a shared interest, such as art or music.

Remember that the first date is supposed to be fun. You are getting to know this person and he is getting to know you. It should not be something that feels like a meeting with your boss. So relax, enjoy yourself, be natural, and go with the flow!
