We often on a first date, in the heat of discussion, say a lie or engage ourselves in to something that we should not. We usually do that out of negligence, but that is a major reason for failed dates. Here are some basic rules that should be followed on the first date.





1. Love history

No matter how funny or not your love history is, keep it to yourself. At least, on the first date. Nobody wants to hear about how many partners you’ve had, where, how and why. Talking about yours or questioning your partner about his former love, can only lead to failure and conflict, sooner or later.

2. Lying

Well, we all can afford an occasional embellishment. However, pathological lying will backfire at you, sooner or later, and you will be ashamed, in unpleasant situation and possibly rejected.

3. Sex

73 percent of male respondents said that they would like to go to bed on the first date, but only 28 percent of them admitted that they would call that partner again. No matter what your criteria are or how long you know each other, you should stick to romance on the first date. 

4. Problems

On the first date, you must relax, have fun, laugh, get to know each other and simply decide whether you want to see that person again or not. That is why stories about problems can seem repulsive, if they are not told with style and humor. Remember, you're not drinking coffee with a friend, you are with a man or woman that you like.

5. Women/Man stories

Forget them immediately and leave them for some other company. Women’s talk about latest creams, hair salons and celebrities is as interesting as man’s talk about dismantled car parts.  Your partner does not understand that, nor should. If you receive compliments related to something similar, laugh and thank him/her and do not spread the story further.

6.Alcohol

Wherever you go out, do not overdo it with alcohol. Martini or a glass of wine is permitted, but no more. No one is appealing with too much alcohol in his or her blood.

7. Criticism

It is well known that men do not like to be criticized. If you do not like his shirt, keep it to yourself. That also applies to men.  Nobody likes criticism and insults. Besides, everyone has flaws, and we can either accept them or leave. And not hurt anyone in the process.

8. Silence is not gold

Not on this occasion. From women is expected to be polite and feminine, but they often not utter a single word  throughout the night. And that is not good. Answers "yes" or "no" are forbidden. But too much talk can also be very distasteful.

9. Swearing

It is okay to throw, in the occasional sentence, some of these words in order to make it funnier, but no man or woman is attractive if he/she keeps on swearing.

10. Cell phone

The smartest thing to do is to turn off the sound. You can read your messages but don’t answer your calls. The same applies to going on the internet or Facebook to see what is "new. " Such methods are appropriate for teenagers.

11. Paying the check

When the waiter brings the check, women should offer themselves to pay. But, they should not insist. The time will come when they will have the chance to pay him some drink. So, stick to tradition and let the man be a gentleman on the first date.

12. Anger and arrogance

If you didn’t like the movie or dinner, do not immediately insult the waiter, or be angry with your partner the rest of the night because he/she took you to that place. Suggest that next time you choose the place to go out.

13. Intangibility

Faking to be untouchable will do you no good. You will look hostile, indifferent and presumptuous. Of course, do not reveal everything about yourself right away. A mild touch of hand on the shoulder and similar gestures are allowed to create relaxed atmosphere.
