things can go wrong for you more than it can for your male
counterpart. Plus, men can be really dense about a few things.

1. Timing is important - Timing as in 'on time'. No matter what
they say, there is no such thing as 'fashionably late'. For the
first date, this can give the guy jitters and make him think
that you've stood him up. For the later dates, having him wait
for you in the living room for half an hour with either your
roommate, your sister or, worse, your father is not something
you want him to do - whether it be for the embarrassing stories
or Dad's 'eyes of doom'.
2. Be nice - Have a positive attitude, find things that you like
and tell him. Compliment him about his clothes, how he looks and
how well the date is going. It puts him at ease and also makes
him feel important. It also shows him that you're taking notice
of him and you appreciate him.
But, don't lie. Like I said, look at the bright side of things -
the service of the restaurant may have been slow but the
ambience was terrific. Try making it into a habit, you aren't
lying - you're just being diplomatic!
3. Do not complain - This doesn't mean that you shouldn't tell
him that something is wrong or something makes you
uncomfortable. The way you phrase it and the tone you use is
important here. 'Venting' will not going to go over well with
him because he'll probably misinterpret it. Grin and bear it
then tell him after the date in calm, reasoned tones your
problem. Trust me, he'll understand and he'll try to make it up
to you.
4. Enjoy the date - A date is a chance to get to know each other
and to enjoy yourselves. Have fun during the date. Try not to be
hyper-critical and just take things in stride. If you're not
having fun, your date will notice and, trust me, he will get
nervous which will probably start ruining the experience for
both of you.
Also, just let your guard down for a little while. Let him see
the real you. He may or may not like it, but in the end he will
appreciate the honesty of the act. Besides, if he doesn't like
you for you, why should you keep on dating?
5. Afterwards, show interest - If you really like the guy,
waiting for the call after a successful date is nerve-wracking.
Try giving him a day or two. He usually has to get his act
together and work up the courage to call. If he doesn't call,
he's probably still tongue-tied from being in your presence.
Call him up to say hello. Talk about the date and how you had
fun and give hints. He will pick up on it and he'll probably be
asking you for another date!
Well, there are five tips for dating success. Hopefully, this
dating advice could help lead you through today's tough tangle
of relationships. Happy hunting!
