Dating Article for The Gazette

One of the first articles I have written for the magazine.

I just had to post this because of my good friend, Archie. :))

7 Dos and Don’ts for Men on a First Date

1. Do not try too hard. Just be yourself!

- Just keep it real and you’ll be fine. Pretending someone you are not will only ruin everything. Confidence is the key!

2. Be a gentleman.

- Simple gestures (e.g. opening the door for her) will make her feel really special. There is nothing more important than being respectful and caring.

3. Do bring dental supplies with you.

- You do not want a small chunk of meat in between your teeth, don’t you? Besides, you’ll never know what awaits you at the end of the date.

4. Sense of humor will win a girl’s heart any day!

- They say laughter is good for the heart. J

5. A good conversation will ALWAYS lead you to a 2d date.

- Don’t be self-centered! Ask questions and feel free to comment on her stories. Who knows, both of you might have the same interests and hobbies. Be ready with your notebook to take down notes because this is your chance to know what her likes and dislikes.

6. Don’t get too personal.

- Talking about personal things is a big no-no on a first date. Keep things light and mysterious.

7. Do not talk about your ex-lover.

- Avoid initiating this topic unless she asks. Keep it brief. You do not want insecurity and bad impressions to occur, right?
