4Bye! Bye! Mr. Tring Tring

When you are out on a date with your partner to, it should be just the two of you and no one else, not even your phone. So put that Tring-Tring and Beep-Beep box in your purse or pockets and tell it to be silent just to avoid any of those weird and frustrated looks from your partner.

5Ask them about any of their recent trips

To start with the questionnaire, you can always start with the sweet memories that the person on the other side of the table has recently been to. Vacations are always exciting and memorable, and there may be a lot that the person can share about their last rocking trip. If you probably hear a “no” I haven’t been for a tour! Then be ready to shoot out your own experience of the island trip you went bonkers.

6Talk about passion

Men and women can let out their hearts when they go deep diving into the sea of their passion and desires. So why not hit it right? You can also start off by asking about their passion and take the conversation to a right track.

7Quit the short talks

Hi! Hello! How are you? All this seems good only up until the first few minutes, continuing up with how did you reach here? How is the weather? Such prototype questions and talks can be annoying and boring as well. So quit the short conversations and aim for big ones that can go on and on and let you have a gala good time with your partner for the night.

8Take things easy and do not get serious all the time

Many times first dates don’t work out because people seem to be serious and nervous on the first date. Leave this seriousness constraint for your next exam when you get your mom shouting at you to focus on studies. Be calm and cool and let things go with the flow without feeling the awkwardness in your nerves. Live the moment and chill as the day and your partners is all yours.

9No salary Questions, please!

It is okay to ask about the job, job profile and company but Salary! Give me a break, please. Never try to jump into your partner’s salary slip on the first date, it may give an impression that you are eyeing on their money. So keep things simple and don’t get into materialistic conversations, it’s like okay show me your bank account darling, then I’ll decide to be with you or not.

10Don’t boast

Oh! I have been there you know! I have done this! I have done that! I will do this! I will buy that! Nobody in the world can stop me! Oh please shut up for a moment can be the next thought that can creep on the person’s mind sitting at the other end. So cut such sort of a crap and behave like a normal person out for a date and not someone out for bragging and congratulating yourself for your own success stories.

11Be specific about your compliments

Oh! Sweety! You look so beautiful! Yes, this is a compliment for sure and may impress your girl. But what about “I really love those dimples when you are showing off your smiling curve! Wish could have paused this moment and admired you forever” Isn’t it more romantic and specific? Such specific compliments can be a turn on factor for the pretty ladies and may make them feel special and on cloud nine.

12A bit of ex-talk is okay, but too much can be a mood spoiler

If finally, you are shot with a question about your ex then don’t run away from it, answer it in the best possible way. But try to keep this past relationship talks to a minimum and make sure that you are not stinging your partner with your questions about their previous girlfriend or boyfriend. Breakups are not easy, and you would probably not want to turn your date into an emotional and crybaby one right?

13Be modest and honest but don’t lower your esteem

Honesty and modesty symbolize the start of a good relationship, but it doesn’t mean that you have to consider yourself as downtrodden. Things work out in steps, and you don’t have to take a mike and tell all your shortcomings and weakness in one go on the very first date. Let things work out and then open out all your flaws so that your partner gets time to understand you.

14Politics and religion-keep it away

The prime minister is in no ways coming to intervene in your case if you spoil your date. So why to bring all this in between? Yes, you do need conversation topics, we understand, but this doesn’t mean that you are going to get into matters of religion and politics. Stop it! Man, keep your beliefs and political opinions to yourself rather than creating your dating place as a parliament house.
