Dating Tips - Not Getting That Second Date?

Author: Christie Nightingale

Some singles are in need of dating tips when it comes to their dating behavior and etiquette. This list of Dating Tips can serve as a helpful tool to truly reflect what it is that you are doing on dates ~ and if you aren't getting that second date, you might want to consider the possibility that you might be committing one of these Don'ts.

DON'T pull out the BlackBerry / Answer cell phone calls. Your date will become annoyed and feel like they are being disrespected and that you don't consider the date important.

DO turn those gadgets off for an hour! Try to give your date your full attention. Life and business will go on if you do not respond immediately to that incoming message.

DON'T continually talk about yourself - No one finds a Talking Head to be interesting and overly attractive. Both parties should offer information about themselves and ask questions to find out more about the other person. Also, don't interrupt them when they are speaking.

DO be attentive and listen! Keep in mind, you already know yourself, a date is time to learn about someone else.

DON'T shut down if you aren't attracted to your date. An initial negative or positive response to someone's attractiveness can change over time, even within the first 15 minutes. By shutting down and not giving her a chance, you can sabotage a great relationship from ever developing.

DO remain attentive to your date, even if you have doubts when you first sit down.

DON'T complain about anything and everything. You'll be perceived as a very negative, dismal individual. Another component of this is being rude to restaurant staff and other individuals when out on a date.

DO stay positive. Focus on your attitude, if you have nothing nice to say, refrain from saying it. Also, your date is examining how you treat other people and will take it as a direct example of how you will treat her in a relationship.

DON'T Google someone prior to a date and then discuss your findings. Eeew! Don't let technology take the pleasure out of dating. The reason why you are there is to learn about them - why bother meeting them if you are going to conduct your own investigation from your safe haven behind the computer screen?

DO keep an air of mystery flowing on a date and if you want to find out more about the person you're with, ask them directly.

The Golden Rule - Keep it real, have fun, and don't take it all so seriously. Put these dating tips to good use, enjoy yourself, and actively enjoy the other person's company!
