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.



Babbling about things that are not important or come off as bigoted and rude is a surefire way to get your date to leave on the spot. A first date isn't the time to discuss your political views, or why you hate a particular person. It comes off as too strong and too fussy. No one likes that to start off with! Ask about what your date likes to do, what he or she does for a living, and what her dreams are. Asking serious yet lightweight questions will get you in the mode for the next date, and the next.

If your date mentions that they like a band called Tofiki, and you don't, then don't act like you do. It gives your date false hopes and a false impression of who you are. If you have never heard of a particular band, ask for your date to share some tracks so you can learn and be shown something new. Acting fake is a disaster, instead, show interest in things you don't like, but please don't pretend that you actually have a passion for that thing.

Don't be rude to others, or your date. It is an instant end to your date, and all future dates. No one likes a rude person, whether it's a girl doing it or a guy. Be nice to the waiter if you are at a restaurant, leave a generous tip, and never act loud or obnoxious. Your date isn't married to you and doesn't have to put up with it! If your date is rude though, make up for it by explaining to the person who served you, but only when your date has left the room. Even if your date is a loser, it doesn't mean he or she has to make you look like one!

Small little gifts that show your appreciation to a person is always a good way to make sure the date goes smoothly. Surprise presents are fun for everyone, and no one would turn it down. Just make sure that its nothing weird or inappropriate, you definitely do not want to scare off 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.
