Dating Etiquette-The Do’s And Don’ts Of First Dates

Going on that very first date with the guy or girl you like, can be the definition of nerve-wracking. It’s important though that you don’t act all “extra” or “timid” when out on your first date. You want your date to enjoy themselves with you so that way, there could be a date two, date three and so forth. People always overthink the first date. You have to deal with the stress of figuring out what to wear so you look amazing and also how to act so you don’t look like a lame-o. I can’t help you pick out your outfit, however, I can help you maneuver your jitters and have a great first date. Here are some do’s and don’ts of first dates.

The Don’ts
