Bring Your 'A' Game

When you meet someone always put forth your 'A' game. Since first impressions are lasting impressions you want to make sure that you are presenting the best of you. This is especially important when it comes to dating. When you meet someone on your first date you are both there to get a feel for what the other person is like. I know you are thinking that you want the person to get to know the real you, but sometimes it is easier to get to know the 'real' you once you have put forth the best of you. For example, if you are a touchy feely person then this may be something you dont want to do upon a first meeting. That action may make someone uncomfortable initially. Remember your mom's rule 'keep you hands to yourself'. This one will prove you well in this case because the person may prefer to get to know someone more before they are receptive to touches

Remembering all of the etiquette rules that your mother taught you will greatly benefit the first date experience, and it puts you both on even ground. If you both know not to chew with your mouth open or talk over people, then you will avoid any uncomfortable or even embarrasing moments. The first date is to see if you have chemistry, are physically attracted, and can hold a conversation. So dont ruin the initial impressions by adding some improper conversation or bodily gestures and noises.

So remember, dont be you be the person you want to be. They have plenty of time to get to know the real you and if the first date went well and you have the chemistry and physical attraction then they may be able to overlook the fact that the real you curses like a sailor.
