What NOT To Do On A First Date

So he asked you out, it is a miracle, but now what?  The day has come and you are worried you are going to mess everything up in a desperate attempt to show him how you feel.  Have no fear; here are a few pointers on what NOT to do on your first date.  Did you really think we would just leave you hanging?

The first thing you should never do is something that you have never done before.  Do not suddenly get the bright idea to try a hot wax kit out, or a facial peel.  The last thing you want to do is show up looking like a strawberry, or heaven forbid things do get steamy and your bikini line looks like something out of a horror movie.

For all of you that thought it would be a great idea to wear those brand new sky-high heels for your first date, think again.  If you have never worn them you do not know how it is going to turn out.  You could get massive blisters just in time for a sensual foot massage.  Or better yet you could win his heart by falling on your butt.   Stick to those shoes that you know all possible repercussions.  Make sure they go with your outfit, and that if you have to take them off it will not fill his apartment with the scent of your sweaty feet.

Now for those of you that were pondering whether or not to experiment with liquid courage on the first date, don’t you dare?  There is nothing more unattractive then holding a girls hair back that you barely know while she hurls into a toilet, and tells you how much she loves you.  Sure dabble with the wine list if you know your limit, but do not get carried away -or home.

Please do not order a salad.  There has got to be something else on that menu that catches your eye other then a salad.  No man wants to sit there chomping on a steak while you crunch a half head of lettuce.  If you are a real woman you will eat real food just like everyone else in the restaurant.  You are not fooling anyone.  Your belly does not hang over your skinny jeans because you have been eating salad for the last twenty years.  Do not start your relationship off with a lie.  Which leads us to our final tip…

Do not make your life appear more exciting then it really is just to impress him.  Yes that includes telling him that you are a distant cousin of Wayne Gretzky, or that you got your PhD from Oxford.  Did you ever think about the possible backfiring from this?  What happens if it does work out, and you invite him to a family reunion where he asks everyone where good ol’ Wayne is?  Trust me, it is easier to tell the truth then get lost in a lie.

So go on.  Be yourself, and have fun.  With any luck date number two is just around the corner!
