Dating is an awkward two way street. There are many do’s and don’ts of the dating world and it’s finally about time to let it all out there for everyone to learn, use and enjoy! Who knew that a few key, simply rules would provide someone the knowledge to hit the dating scene with confidence.

Here are a few do’s of the dating world:

First of all, and possibly the most important, PLEASE be on time! Being punctual and looking your best is the right start to a date. Who wants to wait around for someone to show up?

Even though it is a date, at least still try and enjoy yourself. Sometimes finding the right person can be scary enough, but if you remember to keep an open mind you never know where it could take you.

Make sure to compliment your date. Not only do women, but men do take a lot of time and energy in getting ready for a date. Let’s be honest, we all like to hear a compliment from time to time.

It’s rude not to pay attention to your date when they are explaining what interests them. Be sure to ask questions and share insights to find out what you both have in common.

When the date has came to an end, be sure to be direct if your not interested in seeing them again. Lying and stringing someone along can be hurtful and make sure to be firm, but polite.

Here’s where it gets tricky. Some people do not know where the line is and how not to cross it. Now onto some don’ts of the dating world:

Please be advised that technology is pretty amazing these days. Do not call, text or email more than once without a reply. He will notice the one missed message even if you do it more than once. Desperation and instability are MAJOR turnoffs.

Once again, don’t be late. IT IS JUST RUDE. Enough said.

Don’t open too much of your life in the first date. Keep personal information such as home phone number or address to yourself. These details should be kept to yourself until you trust the person you are dating.

Do not ignore your own safety. Make sure that your cell phone is fully charged, inform others of your whereabouts and do not let yourself ever be coerced into going anywhere that makes you feel uncomfortable.

Finally, NEVER date a married person. If you honestly think that they will leave their significant other for you, be prepared for the worse. If they cheated on their spouse with someone else, don’t think twice that it couldn’t possibly happen to you.

With all these do’s and don’ts hopefully anyone can find the perfect person for them. Just take each day at a time and love will find its way.
