Is Dating A Challenge
At any age both men and women find dating a challenge. Ladies,
you worry about your make-up, whether you look fat, and your
hair. Men worry about money, whether they will like the woman,
and if their tie (if they are wearing one) is straight. Being
liked and accepted is something both men and women worry about.
Your date can be less stressful if you do some things believe it
or not. Make your date as comfortable as possible. It may seem
like your date is on trial if you throw a lot of questions at
them. Make most of your questions open-ended and let the
conversation happen naturally. Questions that only need yes and
no answers are fine occasionally but they can lead to tension
and stilted conversation.
Forcing conversation doesn't work. "Relax, be yourself and
you'll be fine." is something people hear a lot. Sharing your
interests with your date is fine but don't forget to listen to
them as well. You and your date will probably be nervous so try
to relax, if you can. Is one of the most important things you
can do.
You should definitely not do certain things on a date.
Complaining and groaning about your ex all night will make them
wonder what you will say about them, also do not talk all night
about yourself. A lot of questions shouldn't be asked as this is
not the inquisition. Don't be late, pick up your date on time
and be ready to be picked up on time.
Don't forget to say thank you for a good time for your date, it
is important. An important part of dating is getting to know
your date and your date getting to know you. You might want to
try some that you have not done up until now. Alternate who
decides where you are going, you could learn something new and
you could just learn something very interesting.
An important concern, perhaps the most important is dating
safety. With all the ways there are now to meet people, those
with less than good intentions find it easier to act on them.
Men pay attention because the suggestions that follow are
addressed to women but you could be target too.
Go only to public places not isolated ones for the first few
dates. You can do things to keep yourself safe besides meeting
someone you've talked to online, in a very public place. Have
friends to the same place and have them keep you in their sight
at all times, do not go alone. The nice guy you met at the
library may seem sweet but he may not be.
If you feel uncomfortable in any way, listen to your instincts
and do whatever you have to do to keep yourself safe. Learn as
much as you can about your date. Do you know
where he lives? How
does he make his living? Do not consider continuing to date him
if he doesn't want to tell you. Even if your date is the most
wonderful person, be careful if they refuse to share personal
information.
Offering too much information, I suppose could be a warning sign
too. Although date rape drugs are put in alcoholic beverages; it
can also be put tea, water, coffee, and soda. They could go in
almost any beverage. If you leave the table it is a good reason
to have a friend nearby to keep an eye on your table and on your
date.
Consuming too much alcohol is never a good idea. If you are
driving this is most important but you will want to keep your
wits about you. The use of any safety device you can is good but
keep it legal. Whether you are male or female a cell phone is
the most important tool to have, because your car can be in an
accident or breakdown. A cell phone could bring help that much
quicker.
Your phone should be programmed so that only one number press is
required to reach 911. You can program most cell phones with a
particular key that when pressed dials 911 automatically. Cell
phones have GPS capability programmed into them. Pepper sprays
and high decibel personal alarms are two other safety tools.
Check with your local police and attorney to determine what is
acceptable in your community. In many places pepper sprays are
banned. Whether dating or not other safety advice is never go
anywhere unfamiliar alone. Your seat belt should always be worn.
If you are ordered to go with someone with a weapon some suggest
that you take a stand right away.
To become safe scream, yell, bite, or kick, do anything you have
to do. Aim for the eyes and the groin. Take the heel of your
hand and shove it as hard as you can into the assailant's nose.
This next thing is something to do in almost any situation not
just dating. Never give anyone too much personal information, be
careful about how much you tell them.
I remember when personal safety wasn't always a serious matter.
Over powering someone and covering up crimes has developed new
methods. Keep yourself safe by always letting someone know who
you are going out with and where you are going.
