First Date Etiquette You Should Always Follow

Think you know how to act on a first date? There are some basic rules of etiquette that you should always follow if you want to get a second date. Too often people are far too nervous to remember their own name, let alone these rules. But, when you do relax and be your mannerly self, you will find you will in fact be more successful in dating.

Dress Appropriately

If you’re going to an elegant restaurant, don’t show up in ripped jeans, a tank top, and a baseball cap. Conversely, if you plan to do something active, like hike or rollerblade, now is not the time to show off your mini skirt or Brooks Brother’s suit. Always ask what you will be doing when someone asks you out or ask if the dress is casual or elegant.

Be Prompt

Everyone has run late at some time or another. Maybe the babysitter didn’t show up on time, or a traffic jam clogged the highway. Plan to be ready fifteen minutes early so you have some breathing room in case something happens.

Act Polite

Maybe the two of you clicked right away. Or perhaps you knew instantly that this person wasn’t right for you. Either way, always avoid rude activities like talking on your cell phone during the date or making disparaging remarks about your date’s appearance.

Be Honest

If you don’t plan on calling her the next day, or if you have no interest in seeing him again, it’s best not to gush about the wonderful time you had. Don’t make promises you have no intention of keeping.
