Tips for Positive Dating | Finding your Love

Remember to smile when you are out on your date. Keeping a smile on your face can help to keep the atmosphere light and friendly. Talk about the other person rather than keeping the conversation strictly one-sided. You both should get an equal opportunity to introduce yourselves. Try to do something fun together like horseback riding or dinner and dancing rather than the traditional dinner and a movie. Avoid moving too fast. If you move too fast, chances are you will scare your date away so give your date some breathing room to decide if he or she would really like to see you again.

Avoid high expectations for your first date. If you have low expectations, you may find yourself pleasantly surprised by your date's outstanding qualities. However, if you are expecting a supermodel that shares every interest with you, you may find yourself utterly disappointed. The key is to be yourself and avoid forcing yourself to like the things your date likes. This will help you avoid potential disaster later on down the road.If the date goes well and you enjoyed spending time together, ask to exchange phone numbers but don't call back too quickly. Calling too soon may make you seem like you are over obsessed or desperate. Wait a few days before calling to set up another date. This will let your date know that you are still willing to take things slow and casual. Start out as friends rather than aiming for something serious. If you and your date manage to go out on a few successful dates, then try aiming for something more serious.
