Dates to Remember

Just like anything else in life, dating has its good times and bad times.

Bad dates are dates that we’d rather forget and just charge to experience all because the man or woman was from hell or the date itself was a disaster.

Then there are the good dates—those that we’d love to play in our heads over and over again, those that we’d wished had never ended. Well, these aren’t exactly a rarity and can happen, given the right things to remember when going out on a date.

The best dates are the simple ones: simple, not too much garb and definitely fun and just being yourself. Not too many questions and just spontaneous conversation. It really helps too if you get along well with the person you are dating.

These dates could either be “spur of the moment” or planned a few weeks before. Take note though that too much planning does not a good date make. In fact, it can actually ruin it as planning way ahead and too much can raise expectations—imagining how things should be only to discover that your date ends in disaster. While it is definitely OK to prepare—clothes, hair, some questions you may like to ask in the name of getting to know your date, don’t draft your speech. Just let things flow.

Formality, or too much of it, can also ruin a perfectly good date. Dating is supposed to be fun, light and done in order to get to know someone. Don’t worry about the little details. Let them work themselves out—things like who pays the bill, where to eat, etc. Again, just let things flow.

In order to let things flow though, some useful tips may just spell the difference between a great date and dating that ends in disappointment.

Greet your date like you’ve known him/her for quite sometime now: as mentioned earlier, too many formalities only spoil the fun.

Give each one a chance to just talk: if you’re the talkative type, control yourself and listen more. If you’re the quiet type, use your tongue a little more. But just let the conversation flow.

First dates are usually short: only for a few hours to give you that “anticipation” for the next one—they are simply meeting the person really. Like his her company and vice-versa? That’s what second dates are for.

And it doesn’t really matter where you go—a stroll in the park can be just as impressive as dinner at a five-star hotel. The important thing really is having fun while dating. That best date could just be the start of a lot more “best dates” to come.
