Dating Rules: Smile, Be Yourself and Listen
Some rules were made not to be broken – like dating rules. Most people think dating should go by “feel” but that can lead to pitfalls, embarrassment, and a good deal of self-sabotage. When you follow the rules, however, your dating life can go a whole lot more smoothly.
It’s all about body language: Don’t fidget, bite your nails, play with your hair or shift excessively in your seat. You want to seem calm, not like a nervous wreck (even if you feel like one!), so take a deep breath, look into your date’s eyes and smile. Dating should be enjoyable-not stressful! The more your body language conveys your enjoyment, the more your companion will enjoy being with you.
You’re great the way you are: Sometimes, we embellish because we’re afraid we might seem boring. Even if the only interesting thing about you is that you’re an avid reader, talk about your love of books, the kinds you like, the stories you find enthralling and the literary elements you enjoy. Even “boring” hobbies won’t be boring when you share your passion for them.
Exhibit impeccable manners: Pull out your date’s chair, eat with the right fork and say “Please” and “Thank you” to the wait staff. There’s no more attractive quality than graciousness. Be a lady or a gentleman and show your date you’re a class act.
The Golden Rule applies to you: Treat your date how you would like to be treated. Even on a date gone sour, everyone deserves to be treated with dignity. Be thoughtful and courteous. Always show respect.
Listen up: Nothing will send a date down in flames faster than not listening to what your companion is saying. When asked “What do you think?” you’ll be hopelessly stuck for an answer. To avoid embarrassment, pay attention. You never know what you might learn.
Granted, there are no steadfast dating rules, but these will guarantee a safe, sand, and good time.
