Just imagine if a bad date makes a good relationship what do you think a great first date would create? Don’t you wish you could find a few first date tips so that you go in with and understanding of what might happen and avoid a tragedy.

If you want first date tips then I have some tips for you. Dating, especially first dates can be rather complicated if you don’t know exactly what you are getting yourself into. If you follow these 5 first date tips then you will have great dates followed by great relationships.

The first date tip is to be prepared. Do you know how in almost every first date there is an awkward silence and you are both sitting there thinking about what to say next? You can avoid this if you do your homework and figure out what your date likes and dislikes. Once you get on a topic that your date has a lot to say about stay on that topic for as long as possible. Try not to jump from one topic to the next let the conversation flow and have your date change the topics. Just be prepared in case there is that awkward silence.

The second first date tip is planning your date. There is nothing worse than your date getting in the car expecting a wonderful date and you ask, “So where would you like to go?” Plan your date ahead of time, ask around and see where your date likes to eat and what they like to do in order to have the best first date.

The third first date tip is dress appropriate and if your date needs to know to dress up let them know. You don’t want to plan on going to a dance and not let your date know. If everyone is dressed up but your date they will feel awkward and want to go home. Don’t dress up like you are going to a prom if you aren’t, but don’t under dress as if you are staying home and having a movie night. DRESS FOR THE OCCASION.

The forth first date tip is to know your limit. It is ok to talk about sexual stuff, but don’t bring up sexual experiences or partners. Talking about sex can be a very touchy subject that you should avoid but most people don’t. For some reason sex is a huge topic that many people like to know about first before anything else. If sex is so important to you then you will have lots of first dates and these 5 first date tips aren’t what you need.

And the fifth first date tip is to just be you. You don’t want to trick your date into thinking you are someone you’re not when maybe they would prefer the real you not the fake. Take your date to a restaurant that you would normally go to don’t go out for a fancy dinner if you normally don’t. Do things that you like as well as they like. If you don’t like ballet or boxing matches then don’t take your date to those. Find something you can both relate to and do that.
