Dating Etiquette Guide

Friday, October 9th, 2009

So, you’re ready to take the simple good manners and common basics of dating etiquette guide! Treat the other person as you would like to be treated yourself. Be courteous and polite.

Here are some tips from our regular online dating columnist, Diane Fisher:

Be punctual. This may sound obvious but you don’t want your date to think you’re not interested or he or she is not worthy of this basic courtesy. Make sure you have each other’s cell phone numbers so if you get unavoidably held up, at least call your date and explain why you’re late.

Don’t dominate the conversation. Ask your date questions and be interested in the answers. Be attentive. Listen to what she or he has to say and respond appropriately.

Did you meet through one of the dating websites? Surprisingly, there can be some subtle variations with online dating, and offline dating etiquette – if you met online, make sure he or she has seen a real photo of you, not a fake photo, this is quite common with online dating profiles.

Keep the conversation light, at least to begin with and let it flow naturally. Use his or her name while you’re chatting – but don’t overdo it as you could sound like you’re trying to sell something!

Don’t talk about your ex! There’s nothing more off-putting for your date than hearing about how great or ghastly your last partner was. And if you’re out for dinner, a coffee or a drink, try and have a tactic already in mind for who’s going to pay. Sometimes it can be good to work this out, very casually, with your date before you meet. Guys can casually offer to pay, while girls can offer to pay half. See our article about Going Dutch for some tips.

A first or second date may end with a peck on the cheek…or it may end up between the sheets. Whatever the case, use the commonsense factor and try not to act like a nymphomaniac. Keep it to cheek-kissing territory unless it’s natural to move beyond this.

A glass of wine or beer can help ease the tension but drunkenness can really ruin a date. Keep a lid on the bottle, and if you’re a smoker and your date isn’t, don’t light up and avoid smelling like a cigarette factory before you get there!

Make it fun! Let your sense of humor come to the fore, relax and be yourself, don’t get too hung up – there’s nothing like being nervous to kill conversation, keep it cool but not cold, you want your date to think you’re interested, but not desperate.

At the end of the date, thank him or her for a lovely time, don’t play games. If you know you’ll never see him or her again, don’t say “I’ll call you” when you know you won’t.

If you know you want to see this person again, say so. Don’t leave them hanging. If they like you, showing that you like them can’t possibly turn them off, it’s more likely to turn them on.

Don’t wait three days before contacting him or her. If the date went well, drop him or her a line and say what a great time you had the previous night.

Dating – A Survival Guide

Saturday, September 5th, 2009

We’ve all been there – the disastrous date. Dating disasters come in all flavors – from spilling your meal all over your date, to saying something you shouldn’t, to running into (or blabbering about) your ex, to making a fool of yourself because you’ve had too much to drink.

Dating disasters can be sorted into two main groups. The “Help, I’m on a bad date and I got to get out of here” category, and the “I really like this person, but this is NOT going well” department. Take a look at some of the dating disasters that can occur during, before or after the date – and hope it never happens to you!

Car accident.

Breaking down on the way to pick up your date is one thing, but having a car crash and sustaining an injury would tell many people that you and your date simply were never meant to be together and that fate has stepped in.

A third person.

An unexpected friend of your date turning up is pretty hard to take. If you have met your date on one of the free dating websites or via singles chat rooms, then this situation is pretty common for security reasons – but it still doesn’t make it any easier if you weren’t expecting it, a chaperone was never part of the plan.

Mixing up the time or date.

Oops! If you’re trying to make a good impression and accidently stand your date up, you need to come up with a plan B, and pretty quickly. Hopefully, if they have a good sense of humor you will avoid having the door slammed in your face next time you see them.

Fashion suicide.

Turning up in unsuitable clothing starts the date off on the wrong note. In this circumstance you will feel paranoid and out of place, concerned that people are talking about you. Don’t over dress for a meal at the local Tavern, and don’t turn up at a wedding in jeans and a crushed, non-ironed shirt.

Their other half.

You have every reason the think your date is un-mistakenly single, but the tide turns decisively when you and your date are confronted by an angry woman claiming to be his wife. Ouch!

Menu fiasco.

Before you make dinner reservations, have the commonsense to establish whether your date has any diet restrictions. If you have big intentions of taking her to your favorite steakhouse, when she announces to you that she’s a vegetarian, it may well throw a spanner in the works. Also brush up on your table manners, and there is nothing as off putting as someone who gets excessively drunk.

Be careful what you criticize.

If you are too quick to judge something, you are likely to offend your date. Keep your religious and political beliefs to yourself for the time being and avoid making sweeping comments until you get to know a bit more about the person.
