99 Dating Tips Part VIII
81. Pay attention.
Paying attention to your date is a must, if you want to make sure that you are indeed dating someone who has no issues. Paying attention can help you identify signs, which can tell you about the negative behavior of your potential partner. By doing this, you would become more aware of the things that you need to consider, on deciding whether you want to see him or her again or not.
82. Stay away from your date’s home.
If it is still your first, second, third, or fourth date, you should stay away from your date’s home. This is because it is simply too soon to be invited over to a house, or inviting someone, unless you both want to go to the bedroom immediately, and it is your purpose of going out. If that is not the case though, only visit your date’s house when you are already in the latter stages of your relationship.
83. Be honest.
If you are really interested about the other person, then you should not hide it. Dating should not be a game, since it can make you send out all the wrong messages. Instead, you should be as honest as possible, so that your date can also see your true self. By doing that, you would be able to build your relationship on the right path.
84. Show that you are interested.
Showing the other person that you are interested is a must, especially if you really are. This is because it can build his or her self esteem, knowing that you may be looking forward to seeing him or her again. With that, you both would become more excited in seeing each other, and be able to enjoy each other’s company more.
85. Your mobile phone.
When you are on a date, one of the things that can annoy the other person is when you stop your conversation in order to answer a call, or read a text message. Therefore, you should turn off your mobile phone or put it in silent mode, prior to sitting in front of your date at the dining table. Just answer the messages when you go to the restroom.
86. Talking and listening.
Some people think that they need to talk a lot in order to impress their dates. However, you need to maintain a good balance in talking and listening when you are on a date. If you are doing most of the talking, then your date may not be interested in sharing some information to you or you simply are not giving them a chance to talk.
87. Talk about yourself positively.
You need to build yourself up in your date, so that you can sell yourself effectively. Thus, you need to be aware of your positive traits. By doing that, you would be able to talk about yourself in a more positive tone, which can impress the other person. However, you need to be careful in doing it, so that you won’t become someone who is obnoxious.
88. Building your profile in online dating.
Since online dating is quite popular these days, then you should also take advantage of it. When it comes to building up your profile, make sure to indicate whether you are interested in a long term relationship or not. By doing this, you can effectively filter out the persons who do not share the same goals as you do.
89. Tell a friend or a close relative that you are going on a date.
Since there are lots of crazy people these days, it is always a good idea to tell a friend or a close relative about your date. You should tell them about the time and the venue just to be on the safe side. To feel more secure though, you can always prefer to go on a date in a more public venue.
90. You don’t have to research about your date’s ex.
One of the most important things in dating is to be yourself. Therefore, you should not do your research about your date’s ex, since you may have a tendency to develop a sense of insecurity because of that. Instead, focus on revealing your true self to your date, so that he or she would be able to decide whether you are indeed the one that they are looking for or not.
