OK, no more procrastinating, this is the moment you have been dreaming of and it’s up to you to make it reality. But, how can you have that dream date? Naturally, you have to start from the beginning and that means to ask the person you are interested in out. Well, how should you invite a person out? Do you need to be assertive? Do you have to be coy? Perhaps you could do with a few tips to ask someone out?

The following are quite simple but yet essential tips you can use when you find it hard inviting a someone out on a date. These tips are good when you want to invite out someone you fancy. Firstly, know the right reason or reasons for asking a person out. When you know the real reason(s), the right words will probably come to you.

What if the person says no? Don’t take it to heart and certainly don’t expect it. Take it gracefully and maybe have a light-hearted, self-effacing joke at the ready. However, for some people, it might be worth practising the words you want to say. To this end, try to keep the reasons for the date foremost in your mind.

However, the person may say “yes” and then you should have a suggestion ready where to go, otherwise it seems as if you have not given it much thought. As much as possible, be ready with some ideas. See to it that you know how to answer, if the person asks you why you are asking her out. You do not have to over-flatter, but you have to make sure that you make the person feel good.

If you did, the result would probably be negative. And don’t pressure them to tell you why it is a “no”. Also never stand someone up. This means that when you ask a person out, you mean it and you do not leave her waiting for nothing. If the person says no, do not be bitter about it. You just have to move on and not treat that person badly. Having some beer to boost your confidence is a no no.

It may just put you in a worse situation. You have to be naturally confident. The more, the better, but not on the first date. When you want to ask a person for a date, do not do it when she is with a circle of friends.

The First Date

Friday, October 9th, 2009
by Marion Rose Jones

When you go on a date with someone there are certain things you should or should not do and certain ways you should conduct yourself. Of course you want the person to get to know you, so, first off, you oughtn’t attempt to be someone that you are not.

When you go out on a date you ought to look clean and dress smartly. This will demonstrate to the other person, not only that you think about about your the way you look, but that you also care about what they think about you. After all, If you don’t care about what the other person thinks, then you probably oughtn’t to be going out on a date with them in the first place, should you?

This suggestion really depends on the person you are taking out. It applies more to a man dating a woman, obviously, but some women don’t like having doors opened for them either. You will have to play it by ear. I think that the best guidance I can offer, is that you should remember to open the car doors and all doors for that matter (except the washroom door) for your date, unless you are told or you sense otherwise.

A lot of younger women might say they wouldn’t judge a man by his door-opening behavior, but I think it does form a beneficial part of the overall picture she will be building up of you. However, if the woman you are going out with is an obvious feminist, then you had better let her open the doors for herself – just let her get on with it or it might trouble her. She might also want to pay for her own meal, but that’s not a bad thing is it?

Make sure that you punctual. Be there when you say you will be there to pick her up and be prepared to pay for the entire date. It may not come to that, she may buy a drink or two, but you can’t count on it, so slip a credit card in your wallet too. Better safe than sorry and you wouldn’t want to have walk home., would you?

So, that brings us conveniently to the next point, which is, don’t take your date somewhere you cannot pay for because you never want to find yourself asking your date for a loan to pay the bill, unless you don’t want to see her again.

Another part of dating etiquette also relates to not making the other person feel as if they are on an interview. It is all too common for people on a date to ask too many questions because they want to get to know the other person quickly. However, how would you feel, if you were asked twenty questions between every course or drink? It is well-intentioned, but annoying. It is far better to have, say, five or six good, non-personal questions that you can discuss at more length.

If you push them too far, if you get too personal too quickly, you could scare them off. Just try to create a relaxing atmosphere by being considerate and yourself.
