Dating if always difficult no matter what gender you are. So why wouldn’t we help each other out?

1. You should always be yourself. If you date won’t like you while you are being honest, why would you even waste your time on him? In case you are just looking for a hookup, you can ignore that rule. However, if you are looking for something serious don’t lie.

2. Keep your mind open. Listen to your date and try to understand him if he is different or has different opinions.

3. Plan an ice breaker. Everyone is nervous before a date and during a date. It’s completely normal. So you can expect a moment of awkward silence that will make you both even more nervous. Think of a way to break the silence by opening a new topic. Maybe he has something on his clothes that can reveal his hobby. Or if you met online, you should browse his profile and find out what are his interests.

4. Don’t play hard to get. If you are acting cold to someone it won’t encourage him to like you more. It might even cause him to give up from dating you because you gave the wrong signals. Be honest about your feelings and even if you don’t like the person, in the end, you can say that so everything is clear. That is definitely better than avoiding the person’s calls and texts and making a fool out of someone.

5. Have fun. This is always a dealbreaker for a first date. If you and your date have an amazing time out, both of you will be impatient to see each other again. And not to mention, that is pretty simple to pull off. Pick a place which has a lot to offer. For example, restaurants, cinema or maybe something exciting. You can even choose paintball or anything that feels exciting to you. However, make sure your date is ok with that idea.
