You wear your best clothes, spray the finest cologne, never have you taken time for hair but you have to be well groomed for this one.

You are destined to be with someone and have a Perfect first date with her. Yet, only one date is not enough for you to know the person. The overly attached date or the awkward date can also have a possible future if you are ready to give it a try once again. The best way to ace a first date is to play it by ear and let your personality do the work. Do not blow your cool and panic if something went wrong. In addition, mannerism is a must. Women like gentlemen who respect and have a charming personality. They prefer class over swag. Confidence is the key for a Perfect first date. Have the confidence to face any situation be it negative or positive. Have a positive outlook towards life and avoid crying over problems that you are facing. Finally, do not lose hope if your date did not go well because it is not the end of the

When meeting someone for the first time you are trying to do two things and so is the person you are meeting. The first thing each of you are doing is trying to size up and understand what type of person the other is. The second thing is that you both are trying to get the other person to see you in a certain way by the words said and unsaid and the actions done and not done. You both are acting in one way or another or putting on a performance so that the person you are meeting gets to see you as you are (gets to see you act as you do everyday) or as you want them to see you (act the in a way that makes them believe that this is the way you act in your day-to-day life).
Indian dating was orderly and the documentary Meet the Patels featured many successful couples that were happy after following the Indian dating culture. For Ravi’s parents, they had exactly 10 minutes of talking before it was decided that they were going to be married and have a future together. It’s mind blowing that it worked that well for them, but I believe that in America and in today’s pop culture - Ten minutes with a person won’t cut it.

Hooking up on a college campus has its positives and negatives. First off men benefit more from hooking up than women do. Women benefit more from traditional dating. The article “To Hook Up or Date: Which Gender Benefits?” by Carolyn Bradshaw, Arnold S. Kahn, and Bryan K. Saville explains how men benefit from hooking up and how women benefit from traditional dating. It explains the consequences of hooking up and the consequences of traditional dating. Hooking up has become so popular on college campuses that it has become the norm. In the article it explained how both genders have a similar ideas to hooking up as well as similar ideas to traditional dating. Both genders said hooking up is more popular than traditional dating because there is no commitment to continue the relationship. You meet a stranger at a party and if there is alcohol involved it makes the “hooking up” an easier process. You then start flirting with the stranger and engage in sexual behavior whether it is kissing or having sex. Traditional dating does have its benefits as well because you have the feeling of being liked/loved and also your partner is a friend to share happy moments with. The article did mentioned that both genders wanted a traditional date if you knew the other person had the same feelings for you.
Social status has played a major role in many different aspects of life practically since the beginning of time. Social status acts as a label for one’s predicament of living. Such a label directly affects day-to-day tasks, opportunities, and interactions. Generally, how we perceive others is a determining factor for the value we place upon them to our lives. For this particular study, I will be focusing on how social status affects dating/relationships. Dating is the basis of any intimate relationship that can potentially lead to a long-term arrangement such as marriage and pro-creation.
The committer is serious about finding the right woman. He asks friends and relatives for introductions. He is usually open to blind dates and avoids the bar scene when looking for a quality woman. On the first date, he is polite and will not bring up the subject of money at the restaurant. He takes her to places where they can talk one-on-one. The non-committer is just looking for a woman. There is no room in his life for the woman. He, on the other hand, loves the bar scene. He usually finds a million excuses why he can't find the right woman and uses such excuses to explain why he is still unattached. On a date, he orders trendy food such as sushi to impress his date, and he monopolizes the conversation. He may even take her to places where there is no chance for good conversation such as a club or a party.
The two types of dating are very different in many ways. The worldly way is enjoyable, but can cause many consequences while the godly way has more restrictions, but can lead to a happier and more successful love life. Therefore, it is the reader that must decide for him or herself what is better. Dating is a serious matter either way. In general we must make sure we have healthy relationships. Having a healthy relationship includes maintaining good communication, resolving conflicts in an orderly and friendly way, but also getting past the hurt of past relationships (Robinson). Following a healthy relationship can lead to memories of happiness with the one you are in love with.
Another form of prevention is a specific plan. Know what’s on the itinerary, where one will be going, what kind of place it is, and inform others of possible whereabouts. This way a female for example does not find themselves in a situation that could be potentially harmful. The advantage to this is that if the date has any ideas about using date rape as a romance technique, he will see awareness and intelligence and perhaps think twice about the crime about to be committed. A disadvantage, as in any other situation, sometimes a woman with enough self esteem to protect herself, is intimidating to some men. One may find it harder to achieve a second date.
In Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the characters Hermia and Lysander are faces with a difficult situation when they want to be married and are forbidden to by Hermia’s father, who instead wishes her to be married to another young man, Demetrius. Hermia and Lysander forced to plead her case to both her father and the duke of Athens, Theseus. But Theseus’ only words to Hermia are those that tell her she should be obedient to her father. Her pleas are essentially ignored. While it is unfortunate that her thoughts should not be given a second thought,
Dating has built-in problems, and if we continue to date according to the system as it is today, we will more likely swerve into trouble. If your relationship is founded on our culture's defective attitude and patterns for romance, even if you have good intentions, you will likely reap the consequences in your adulthood. The following points are some of the swerves dating relationships often make.
This date is simply a series of questions and the person being pestered with questions feels as though dating this person is more like a job rather than a fun pastime. An easy way to identify from the beginning if the date is going to be in this classification is if the date starts with a handshake. This may not always be a red flag, but if the date ends with one too then an interview date may have occurred. This date typically ends with a swift cutting of ties. As an article from Ibelieveinlove.com states when talking about interview dates, “It only lasted two hours, and he shook my hand again before saying goodbye. He ended things a few days later—not surprising given how unnatural the date felt” (Morgan). This date just plainly isn’t fun. Nobody really enjoys job interviews which is why it shouldn’t be a part of a date. As Kat George states, “the number one thing you should be doing on your first date is having fun. Remember, every first date could potentially be your last ever first date” (George). First dates should be fun, so relax and stop asking them what qualities they can bring to the

Dating is the process whereby two people meet socially for companionships, beyond the level of friendships with the aim for suitability as a partner in an intimate relationships or marriage. The process of dating is impacted by past experiences, family dynamics, cultural, beliefs and customs. These relationships produce a strong connections between family members, education, cultural. The young man, interview #2 stayed away from people from the same culture because, of avoidance of finding a mate similar to his mother. He stated, “I have dated someone form the same culture but,
