First Date Disasters
No matter how old you are going on a first date with someone new can be daunting. What do you wear, what should you talk about, what do you do if the minute you see them you know you've made a big mistake. Well here's a few guidelines to help you through those tricky moments.
Firstly never arrange to meet for more than an hour. Why because you have a 'get out' clause if things don't go well. Also you can tell quite a lot in an hour and you won't be wasting any of your precious time.
Never arrange to go for a meal on a first date - you could end up being stuck with someone who's totally wrong for you for hours on end. Plus it's pretty nerve wracking to start eating in front of a complete stranger and make polite conversation!
Of course if you do go for the meal foods which are definitely NO GO ones are spinach - getting a bit stuck inbetween your front teeth could be devasting when you smile. Soup is another as if you're nervous your spoon will shake and you could end up with it down the front of your clothes. If it's too hot you certainly wont want to be cooling it down by blowing it either. Going for meats that could need lot of cutting again could play havoc on the nerves. Stick to something simple to eat and that wont make a mess.
Always look your absolute best on a first date. You never know he/she could be the one and you want to impress don't you. Make sure you smell good too but not overpoweringly so. Check out your breath and preferably don't eat garlic or strong curries the evening before as they'll leave a strong smell on your breat that perhaps you won't realise but believe me someone near you will. Don't smoke just before as you'll still smell of it. Also not a good idea to drink alcohol either - it could affect your mood or opinions.
Never ever talk about your 'ex' on a first date. It's an absolute no go area. You won't believe the people who go on and on about this and it'll turn most off.
Never ever ever talk about any illnesses, aches or pains or operations you've had either. No one wants to hear about this on a first date.
Make eye contact with the person your meeting, even if you don't think you want to see them again. It's polite to look at them and not around the room at anyone better you may spot.
Finally smile - it doesn't cost anything and your face becomes more attractive.
