Asking Someone Out On A Date

Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010

All right, no more hesitations, this is the time you have been dreaming of and it’s up to you to turn it into reality. But, how can you have that fantasy date? You have to start from the beginning and that means to invite the person you are interested in out. Well, how ought you to invite a person out? Do you have to be assertive? Do you have to be coy? Perhaps you could do with a few tips to ask someone out?

The following are simple but essential tips you can use when you find it difficult asking a person for a date. These tips are good when you want to invite out the person you fancy. Firstly, know the right reason or reasons for asking a person out. When you know your reason(s), the right words will surely 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 might say “yes” and then you should know where to go, otherwise it seems as if you have not put much thought into it. As far as you can, be ready with ideas. See to it that you know how to answer whenever the person asks you why you are asking her out. You do not have to flatter, but you have to make sure that you make the person feel good. In this way you can show how thoughtful you are. Never pressure someone to go out with you.

If you did, the result would almost certainly be unpleasant. And don’t pressure anyone to tell you why the answer is no. Furthermore, never stand someone up. This means that when you ask a person out, you should mean it and you do not leave her waiting for nothing. If the person says no, do not get angry about it. You just have to move on and not treat that person badly. Having some beer to boost your confidence is definitely not a good idea.

It may just land you in an even worse position. You have to be confident naturally. The more, the better, but not on the first date. If you want to invite a person out for a date, don’t do it when she is with a circle of friends.

These are really useful tips and you really ought to take note of them. They will definitely help you out if you want to go out with your special person.

The First Date

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

When you go on a date with someone there are specific 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 nicely. This will show the other person, not only that you think about about your appearance, 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 shouldn’t 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 manners, 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 bother her. She might also want to pay for her own meal, but that’s not a bad thing is it?

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

So, that brings us neatly to the next point, which is, don’t take your date somewhere you cannot afford 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 at 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 irritating. It is far better to have, say, five or six interesting, 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 comfortable atmosphere by being considerate and yourself.
