Dating Tips - Dating Etiquette

Dating Etiquette and Tips.
1.  Always look your best and act your best. Smile, style your hair and put on some make-up (girls).
2.  Have fun on dates. Prepare topics or questions to talk about that interest you. This way you can see if you have similar interests. Remember you want to see if you enjoy the other person's company.
3.  Give your date affirmations and indirect compliments. This is key. You want to see if your date can accept a compliment. If he can't receive, it also means he can't give and that's a red flag.
4.  Ask questions, share thoughts and pay attention to what your date's interests.
5.  Give people a chance. If you think that your date is acting out of character and is not comfortable. Give it another date. If your date thinks you are interested, they will feel more comfortable and show a much better side.
6.  If you continue to look for someone to share your life with, you will eventually find someone. So be patient and your prince/princess will show up soon.
7.  Come up with fun dates. Plan a picnic, go to an Indian restaurant, show, circus, something different that you can experience together.
8.  Ask your friends to set you up on blind dates, join an online dating site, and go to social functions at your local Synagogue or Church. Attend parties, charitable fund raisers, volunteer or join a club to meet new people.
9.  Find a coach that will be supportive and guide you through this process. Some people don't know how to get to "I do" and a dating coach can make all the difference.
10.  If you aren't available to go out on the night your date asks, offer 2 or 3 alternate times. This shows that you are interested in continuing to date him.
11.  Don't see your date more than 2/3 times a week. You don't want to appear too eager. Also this will give you time to have other experiences that you can talk about on your dates.
12.  Be a bit mysterious. If you share all your secrets on the first few dates, you will probably scare your date away. There is a time and a place to open up; usually on the 4th, 5th or 6th date or after. Of course, it depends on how quickly things are moving along. By this time you know your date is interested in you so he/she will not run away and it will show him/her that you can be vulnerable and it will bind the two of you together.
13. Avoid getting into a physical relationship with your date until you have both committed to each other. If you do, you are telling the other person that you are attracted to them but not interested in getting to know them.
14. Only date people that are available. There are many men and women out there that have not gotten a divorce but have separated from their spouse. Don't waste your time, it could be years down the road by the time they finalize their divorce especially if there are kids involved. Find someone who's legally, and according to religious observance available to you!
