Dating Tips::.

::. First and foremost - be on time. Nobody likes to be kept waiting. There is nothing classy about being 'fashionably late'.

::. Make your partner feel comfortable by being considerate. Keep the conversation light and entertaining; prevent awkward silences from developing. Find out what common interests you have and build on that. Talk about your partner's interests also.

::. Laugh at their jokes however lame they might be. P.S. Don't overdo the laughter. You want to laugh with your date, not at them!

::. Always be yourself. Be honest in your approach and try not to be something you are not.

::. Be a romantic. Its the little things that count. Guys can bring a small gift for their date. It need not be expensive though it may be something silly and romantic. Girls can carry a flower for him. Who said only women like flowers?

::. Be confident. Of course this does not mean that you come across as brash.

::. Show respect for your date's wishes.

::. Do not monopolize the conversation and talk about yourself the whole evening. Do not show disrespect for your partner or their beliefs. Be open-minded and try not to always get your point across. You might win the argument but could kiss the second date goodbye.

::. Never brag about ex-relations. No date wants to hear about your past exploits.

::. Don't try to pry too much into your date's past; there are some things they might want to keep to themselves.

::. Never exhibit bad table manners. Eating and talking at the same time or eating with your mouth full are definite no nos.

Once the date is over, it is a good idea to call the next day and thank your date for the wonderful time you had. It's a great way to ask for another date. Best of Luck !
