Dating Rules
The term “rules” sounds too rigid especially with reference to dating. Most of us say that we should be comfortable while dating. Most of us are aware of the fact that if we abide and stick to a specific set of rules we would be never comfortable. First of all you have to understand what ‘dating rules’ mean. It is said that everything is good in limits.
It is these limitations of dating that when mutually agreed upon or when you just stick to them can be called the ‘dating rules’. The dating rules differ from age to age, person to person and culture to culture. The general dating rules could be as follows.
- Presentable: Try to look as presentable as you can but be sure you do not over do it. Trying to be a show off can prove to be negative point.
- Punctuality: Access the situation. Online chatting gives an idea about the flexibility of punctuality. If the date is scheduled at 6pm in the evening and you know and sure that your date is usually late by 5 minutes, be late by 2-3 minutes, but not more than that. If you are as late as late as your partner, it would be difficult to judge the seriousness of the relationship.
- Humor: Always have a touch of humor in what you speak. Be sure that the humor should be relevant to the topic being discussed, not irrelevant. Take care that the date does not become boring.
- Compliment and Praise : Give complements and shower praises where ever needed. Be sure this does not sound flattery. Flattery can make you look like a flirt and spoil the date.
- Interest : Show interest in your partner and the partner will show interest in you. Please keep your limitations in not being too personal. Try focusing on the topics of general interest.
- Frankness: Be frank in your response. If you like to meet your date again express it, but if you do not want to see him or her again it is always better saying it in the most sober way that is possible.
- Preferences: Dating is a very personal issue. You are the best judge as to whom to go out with on a date and whom not to go out with. Take care that your professional acquaintances and circumstantial friends do not influence your decisions.
- Comfortable : Be natural and study what issues you can compromise for the company of your date. Do not lie or bluff to make yourself and your partner feel comfortable because this dram is not going to work out for ever.
- Optimistic: Be a positive thinker. If the thought of both of you do not match and both are not ready to compromise then its better just having a good friendship rather than developing the relations further.
