Let’s face it dating can be tough. In today’s society there are so many things one has to take into consideration. Does he really like me? Is she into me or my money? Why is he giving me mixed signals? It’s enough to make a person want to give up but don’t despair. Here are some tried and true tips to live by in the dating game.
When you’re going out with someone plan your date carefully. Look for something creative and make sure it allows you to interact. It will help if the activity relates to a shared interest, such as art or music. Doing something you enjoy takes the pressure off. Be light and humorous. Lots of laughing always makes for a great date so don’t take yourself too seriously.
Be yourself. People sometimes try too hard to impress. If they just relax a little, the date will go better and they will not have to worry about any of those little embellishments backfiring later on. The worst thing people do on first dates is lie. They are trying to improve their status so you will be interested in them.
If you are meeting someone you know only through a personal ad or an online dating service be sure to go to a place with plenty of other people around. And do not blab out your whole life story on the first date. Keep it general: music, books, movies.

If you are comfortable and seem to be compatible set up a date to spend more time together. Remember that the first date is supposed to be fun. You are getting to know this person and he is getting to know you. It should not be something that feels like a meeting with your boss.
If the date turns out to be a dud do not make any promises you will not keep. Do not be encouraging if you feel no interest in further socializing. Be honest and say you feel there is not a basis for anything other than friendship and let your date take it from there. Pick yourself up and move on.
