9 Things To Avoid During A Date.

Yikes! I just asked a girl out for a date!

OMG. He just asked me out for a date!

Dating. A nerve-wrecking, fun and exciting thing that everyone goes through in their lives. Honestly, it takes a lot of courage to ask someone out, right? It's not an easy job! Whether a guy is having a crush on a girl or the girl likes a guy, whichever way, asking someone out is the first step and these are the 9 things to avoid during a date. 

1. Being Late. 

No one likes to wait. Ever. When you say 8pm or 8.30pm, be sure to get ready early and get there on time. Doesn't matter if you guys plan to meet somewhere or one of you is waiting at home, being on time really matters! But sometimes things can happen at the last minute and the best thing you can do is to call your partner and tell them that you're going to be late and make sure it doesn't happen again unless it was an emergency. 

2. Cancelling Last Minute. 

Your partner is waiting and suddenly something came up that you have to cancel. Like what?! Oh, can't imagine the frustration. Cancelling last minute should be last on the list because it's just painful after hours and hours of getting ready and looking forward to go out for the date. If you really need to cancel, call/text (calling is better) an hour before so that your partner can plan what to do next. 

3. Answering calls/texts during a date.

*Click,click,click,click* 

Whoa hey, are you here to have a date with me or what? A date is for both of you to communicate, get to know each other and have fun. It's the period of time where you guys find out what you guys like,love and hate. Keep the phones away or put it on silent mode because it's just rude to interrupt when someone is talking and like : 

"I'm sorry, i need to pick this up"

"I'm sorry, i have to settle this immediately" 

"Sorry, it was my bla bla bla bla" 

It's okay to answer the phone if your mom/dad is calling. 

4. Bringing your friend along to the date. 

That i say.. is a total disaster. No one ever brings a friend to a date. Ever. The worst is that your friend will be bored and lonely while you and your partner are talking or walking around holding hands. There will be no intimacy between you two, whatever you guys are up to next, she/he will be there pretending to not know what happen or witness anything and it's going to be super super awkward. 

5. Promise Something.

You hardly know each other and you already want to promise something? Isn't it too early or too soon to promise something unless you guys are already in a long term relationship. Don't promise anything just yet because you don't know if you're going out for a date with your partner again. Still too early. 

6. Exposing Your Secrets. 

No, no, no and no. You barely knew each other and you already want to tell them your secrets? You don't know who are their friends or who they hangout with. Could be your high school bullies or someone you hate. It is such a small world. If you want to share your secrets, make sure you already know your partner deep enough and trust them well. 

7. Talk About Your Previous Relationship. 

This is probably another big mistake. To talk about your previous relationship shows that you are still revengeful on that person or unable to move on from it. You wouldn't want to compare your previous relationship with the new person you are dating. The reason to date a new person is because you moved on and forget about the past and want to start a new romantic life with your partner. The past is the past, let it go. 

8. Staring / Checking Out Other People. 

Your partner is talking to you but your eyes are staring at someone else. Please don't ever do that because it is very disrespectful. There must be a reason why you asked your partner out for a date, something that got your attention. It is absolutely rude to stare or check out someone else while you're dating someone. 

9. Lie. 

Whatever questions your partner asks you or whatever things you want to tell your partner, just tell them with honesty. Whether they can accept it or not, it's okay as long as you're being honest. Don't lie because things can go really bad if your partner finds out the truth. It's either your partner won't ever go out with you again or won't even talk to you for a period of time. You have to show your partner that you're trustworthy and worth their time. 

9 of these may be not the best of what to avoid during a date, but i hope you enjoyed reading. Thanks and hope your date will go well. :)
