Simple Dating Tips That Keep Your Date Interested

By Chris Channing

Dating is a major part of our social lives. You meet someone you are interested in, you go somewhere, have fun, and repeat. Except, its not that simple. The repeat part isn't always guaranteed, especially if you do not mix well with the person you were dating. Everyone is different, so dating may not come as easily to some of us. Be prepared to go through some troubles, and have ups and downs with dating. There are some dating tips that will really help you have a successful date, even if the person and you do not like each other. Its worth it to try and keep your date interested.

Talking about that one time you stubbed your toe and the nail grew in all wrong is a bad subject for a first date. Avoid embarrassing, unnecessary, and annoying conversations. Keep conversation fresh, interesting, and fun! Ask about what your date likes and doesn't like, and engage in a two part conversation. One person talking the whole time is a great way to get bored fast.

Don't act cocky, fake, or pretend to like something that you really don't. This sets you up for disaster and definitely happens more often than you think. Your date will be much more inclined to date you again if you have something in common, but also not in common. Uncommon traits can keep him or her interested, and intrigued. Its important to keep them in a cloud of mystery!

If you take your date to a restaurant, or if you go to a movie, do not be mean or rude to whoever is serving you. If you notice your date acting rude to a server, then tell him or her to stop or you will leave the building. Its really off putting to put on displays of aggression and meanness, especially while you are on a date.

Of course, small gifts don't hurt on a first date, or any date for that matter! A simple gesture of kindness is always polite and greatly appreciated. Just don't go overboard with jewelry or anything expensive. It might come off as pushy, desperate, or as if you just want to impress your date.

The last and one of the most important dating tips is that you have to be who you are. Simple as that. Pretending to be into politics when you are not is really misleading and will ruin your entire date. Pretending to be a philanthropist when you really hoard all of your money is also misleading and will keep future dates completely off the calendar.
