Yes, first dates can be, without a doubt, nerve-wracking. But, if you stick with these Do’s and stay far away from these Don’ts then you will have nothing to fear. Don’t worry you won’t need to thank me.

1. Do be open to trying new things
2. Do have a positive attitude
3. Do act interested in what he is saying
4. Don’t turn your dates into therapy sessions (these are not fun dates to be on, trust me!)
5. Don’t talk about your ex ( this is a big no no!!)
6. Do take the time to look good before the date
7. Do get to know one another and what your beliefs are
8. Don’t pretend to be someone you are not
9. Don’t be on your phone the entire time
10. Don’t show up late
11. Do remember you are highly dateable — even if your date isn’t cool enough to realize it.

Good luck with your date and remember to enjoy yourself and have fun!
