Primary rule – treat your date with dignity and respect.
No swearing. Broaden your vocabulary beyond a few repetitive expletives.
No drunkenness.
Act like a gentleman.
Be genuine. It must come from the heart.
Be that way during your first date right until your last and see what a difference it will make to you, your date's and your life.
Do not expect your prospect to be available for a date at short notice. Ask a few days in advance of the proposed date. Set a meeting time.
If the person cannot or will not be available for a date at the second request – they are not interested.
Don’t push the issue. Move on.
Whoever initiates it – plan to have at least one alternative place to go to or of what to do. Give the other person time to think about it and perhaps come up with other options.
Discuss it with dignity. This is a good opportunity to agree on who pays for what?
You could offer to cook a meal or bring a picnic basket to the next date if there is the possibility of a follow up date.
Be prepared ahead of time to have a few topics for light hearted conversation; nothing too controversial.
No strong opinions please.
Remember that the objective of a date is generally to assess the potential of coming together to be a couple in a close permanent relationship in so far as permanency goes
Never stand up your date, postpone rather than cancel. Do not just fail to show up. That would be despicable.
