Don’ts

• Throwing tantrums of I-don’t-care-a-damn attitude or I-know-better-than-you as it can be the biggest turnoff for your new acquaintance. Confidence is appealing but audaciousness isn’t.
• The concept of arriving fashionably late does not apply on your first date. It shows you are not dependable at all and definitely not worth dating.
• Don’t try to drill them for every detail of their life as it portrays you as nosey person who is more interested in your past.
• It is very rude to talk on phone on a date or keep meddling with it as it shows that you are not interested or getting bored. If it is an urgent call, keep it short and tell them that you are busy and will get back to them later.
• Do not even try to be someone you are not just to make that person fall in love with you. If you do, you will be expected to keep up that standard for the rest of your life.
• Of all the things, you wouldn't want to pass out and embarrass your date. Worse, misbehave with the girl in case you lose your senses after drink.
• You wouldn't want your date to think you are too aggressive or even desperate. There is a difference between harmless flirting and obvious advances.
• Lastly don’t forget to thank the other person for the wonderful day you had with them.
