A first date is always a nerve wracking situation and of course you
do not want to leave a bad impression especially on this very special
day. You are probably anxious and you cannot stop the butterflies in
your stomach but you still need to come into your senses and avoid those
first date mistakes men usually commit.
Here are the common first date mistakes you should avoid:
Don’t be late. This is the number one first date mistake that you
should avoid. You should be punctual and it is not cool to keep your
date waiting. Your date is also nervous like you and it makes her more
anxious if you keep her waiting. It is impolite to let the girl wait for
you. Be respectful and arrive on time.
Do not let your nervousness rule over you. Being clumsy is another
first date mistake you should avoid. Manage your worries or anxiousness.
Keep your presence of mind, stop worrying and thinking about the
outcome of this date. Just enjoy the moment; first date should be
exciting and enjoyable.
Do not forget to dress properly and groom yourself. First date for
women is a big deal and most women make an effort to wear their best
dress with matching shoes and bag. If it is a non-formal date, a casual
polo-shirt and nice pants will do. Be sure that your clothes are ironed
and clean. Get a haircut if you think your hair is too messy and wear
polished shoes. Your nails must be clean and short. It is important to
appear clean and smell good. She will feel really special if you put
some effort on your looks or appearance and besides it feels good to
look good.
Do not forget your manners. Of course you have to prove that chivalry
is not yet dead and there are still good-mannered men who treat women
like a princess. It is a first date mistake to assume that modern women
no longer appreciate little things like opening doors, pulling chairs
and saying please. Women always want to be treated with courtesy and
respect.
Don’t be too ambitious. If you want to impress your date on a five
star hotel, that would be fine if you really can afford it but it is a
big first date mistake to pretend that you can afford a fancy restaurant
and then later on run out of cash to pay all the bills or end up eating
the cheapest food on the menu. You cannot relax and enjoy if you keep
worrying about the bills.
Don’t be too cheap. Fast food is not good for your health and it is
also not good for your first date. It is not a joke, eating on fast food
is one first date mistake that you need to avoid. If you are low on
budget you can be creative, right? Cooking for her or bringing a thermos
of coffee and blanket at the park while talking and watching the stars
is more romantic than sitting in a fast food eating fries.
There are a lot of first date mistakes that you need to avoid to make
a good lasting impression but the most important thing is to enjoy the
date and look forward for more dates with the girl you’ve always wanted.
