Date Ideas and Tips

1. Go to a playground that's not in use and play! Take along a picnic lunch, baseball, bat, Frisbee or outdoor toys (blowing bubbles is fun). Have a great lunch after playtime.
2. Be honest, don't play games. Avoid even stretching the truth, the first time you're caught it will destroy your credibility.
3. Be on time. Lateness is inconsiderate (not to mention it reveals all sorts of things about your personality such as your passive-aggressive tendencies). If your date is late, be pleasant, and listen to their reason - it might be legitimate.
4. Tell yourself you're not nervous, just excited.
5.If your date compliments you don't just brush it off or say something rude about yourself, say thank you and do NOT put yourself down.
6. If you're concerned about topics of conversation, be sure to read a newspaper or watch a news program that day so you're up on world events.
7. Keep checking the inside (give the exterior stuff a rest). If you stay focused on looks you may end up ignoring or dumping a perfectly fantastic person without ever really giving them a chance.
8. Be open - to your date's ideas about what to do on the date and express yourself honestly (AND tactfully).
9. Keep the first date brief. Leave them wishing for more, not wondering how to escape.
10. Stay away from someone who only talks about money and 'things' or who boasts - usually signs of deep-seated insecurity.
11. Don't talk about marriage and kids and long-term plans for the two of you on your first dates.
12. Try a sporting event neither one of you have ever seen live
