Have you often been stunned into silence by the manners of your date? A first date is the most important date because the old adage is quite true; there is just no way around it, first impressions will be the lasting impression. We know you learned everything you need to know from your mama, but let’s go ahead and cover a few basics just in case you have forgotten some of them. By following these highly advanced rules of dating, you will be sure to be an expert in first date etiquette.

First of all, if you are a man, you know what to do. That’s right, eyes off the cleavage and on the face. We all know it’s difficult when those things are just calling to you to admire them, but let the lady know you actually are interested in what she has to say and not focused only on the way her buttons are straining on her blouse. Stop wishing they would pop off and give you a more revealing view and look her in the eye, nod and smile. Another important thing-remember her name. At the end of the date when you ask for her phone number and you ask her “Do you spell Christy with a C or a K?” she is going to stalk out. Much later on in the night when you are alone and without a phone number, you will recall her name was Tabitha.

For you eager women out there don’t bring up marriage and the future four children you can’t wait to have. Your biological clock may be ticking so loud that you will have trouble hearing the waiter ask you what you would like to drink, but your date will be out of his chair and hailing a taxi as soon as you bring it up. It’s also never okay to tell him how you open up when you get really drunk. He is not impressed by your ability to be candid only when intoxicated. Though it may seem exciting to you, your date does not look forward to holding your hair after you have once again proven you cannot hold your alcohol. And if you can hold your alcohol, he doesn’t want a girl who will drink away his paycheck.

Follow these very simple suggestions. It’s not rocket science and it’s not a war. Be pleasant and stay sober…for the first date, at least.
