| Always meet in a public place that you've been
to before, never in an isolated park or waste land. Carry a mobile with
you and let some one know where you are going and what time you expect
to be back. A small gift always goes
down well, maybe a single rose or a quality Belgium chocolate. It
can look a bit over powering and off-putting if you turn up with half a
florist and a family sized box of chocolates. Get a free box of

A smile costs nothing but
sends out a million good vibes, no one wants to have a date with a
grump. Try to relax, smile, have a laugh and the engagement ring will be
ordered the next day! This brings me to the next tip, appropriate
humour. No jokes about
weddings, honey moons or engagement rings on your first date, this will
go down like a lead balloon. Remember to stay clear of political
subjects or you may end up in an argument before you know which drink
they like.
Personnel hygiene is a very important subject.
Please don't turn up for a date straight after work or worse after a
game of squash. The other complaint can be over powering
perfume or
after shave. A mate of mine used to go out with what seemed like a full
bottle of after shave on, he was more like a fly magnet than a girl
magnet.
Try something a bit special on your first date.
If your date is into motor sport it may be worth meeting at a local race
circuit or go to the park, don't just sit in the local pub. The cinema
is always a favourite, choose a feel good film like 'about a boy', not
'silence of the lambs'.
If you do end up at the local restaurant don't
get drunk whatever you do. Can you imagine the lasting impression this
would have on your date. Have a drink together but avoid alcohol before
you meet, the smell of stale beer is not the most desirable aroma.
Always have a business card ready when you
depart. You've met, had a great time, hit it off and would love to meet
up again, make sure they get your correct contact details by handing
them a professional business card. Business cards can cost a lot of
cash, get 250 free, just pay around £3 for postage at
