| 1.
Be punctual. Leave your house early and make room for any last
minute blips that may creep up. Girls don't like to be kept
waiting.
2. Plan your
day, but be open to her views as well
3. Dress
elegantly. Look neither too cool nor overtly formal.
4. Pick your
date from her house. And don't forget to ask for directions so
that you are able to reach there in time
5. Buying
flowers for her is a good way to strike the right note. If the
date went off well, you may get the flowers delivered to your
lady's house the next day
6. Don't
walk in front of your date. Either walk besides her or a step
behind. It's nothing to do with ego. It's not good manners to
show your back to someone you are with.
7. Pull the
chair for her and wait for her to sit. Remember etiquette is
much appreciated.
8. In the
same vein, open the car door for her. It's better if you can
wait for her to sit and then close the door. Then see if she
is considerate enough to reach out and open the door for you.
9. Greet her
with a firm but gentle handshake, and a smile.
10. Maintain
eye contact, but don't stare.
11. Don't
let the focus of the conversation be "I, me and
myself". Ask about your date's interests, likes et al.
Try to know her. But don't ask personal and probing questions
if it's the first date.
12. When you
ask a question, wait for the response and let her finish
saying what she has to say.
13. Be tidy
and smell good.
14. If you
like to chew gum, keep your mouth closed. Don't chew like
cows.
15. Be
courteous.
16. While
ordering meals, if you don't understand a dish, ask the waiter
for its description.
17. Don't
let cell phones or pagers disturb you.
18. Learn to
compliment.
19. Go to
places which are not too crowded or noisy, so that you both
can feel at ease and talk freely.
20. Don't
keep your upper lip stiff. Learn to smile and crack jokes.
21. Don't
say, "I'll call", unless you intend to.
22. If you
both had a great time, do call her the next day.
23. Drop
your date at her house. It doesn't look good that after
spending some great time together, she has to go home alone in
a bus or a cab.
24. Most
importantly, be honest.
