On dates and dating
I am very glad with the feedback I received every time I cater topics about love. I consider myself as a not-so-expert when I talk about love but it seems I play Dr. Love here. (Smiles) There's no ideal person who can perfect the craft of love right? Even the couples, who are living for golden years, still search for the true essence of love. They never stop exploring the other meaning of love, the meaning of love beyond the ordinary one. And where did it all start? In dating...
Young people are mostly interested in dating. In one book I've read, dating if carefully planned can be a wonderful time of fellowship. Yes, it can be a source of much fun and enjoyment and knowing more other people at the same time knowing you how to handle dates (Good if you have a better date partner, what you think?). Definitely an unplanned date will be somewhat boring, boring and boring. Then you say... sigh!
According to Croft Pentz, an inspirational author, there are three factors that are involved in dating. First, all young people must have a social life. Wanting to date each other is a God-given desire.
Second, young people pass through an emotional state in their life. We call this "puppy love." Few teenagers can really be in love. They may like a person but not be in love. And the last is physical; sex is not sin. It was given by God. However, sex outside of marriage is sin and God will judge those guilty of committing this sin.
I'll provide five tips for boys and dating:
1. Neatness is a plus factor. As they say, dress to suit the occasion but remember don't overdress and don't wear too much accessories. Make sure you keep well-groomed at all times. Girls prefer neat boys over slack ones.
2. Use good manners. Tie it up with the way you talk, the way you move and the way you handle certain situations while you're having your date. Manners win confidence at the same time hearts.
3. When asking for a date, make sure you'll inform her ahead of time. Let her prepare for the set date. Give her enough time to set up everything and don't be in a hurry, perfect timing makes a perfect date.
4. Learn how to appreciate your date. Make sure you recognize what attracts you most. But be very careful in throwing you lines. Be more truthful. Avoid sarcasm.
5. Always thank her for the date and the good time you have. But don't ever expect for a kiss on the first date. Take it slow, bro.
And here's my list of tips for girls and dating:
1. If you cannot accept the date, tell the boy straightforward. Don't make excuses. Do it in a very nice way with right manners and attitude.
2. When the date is set, be ready for it. In today's scenario a girl who is always late ends up with no one. Remember not all boys have the virtue of patience.
3. Let the boy ask for a date. Don't ever think of offering a date. I'm just being honest, don't be a "boy chaser."
4.Do some kind of personality research of your date. Don't ever expect a "queen's meal" from a boy with a small allowance. Don't ask for more, panilagi man ay.
5. Be more considerate. Never talk about other girls, the reason why he picked you because he's interested in you. Moreover, thank him for the time and for the date.
Don't ever break a date unless it is necessary to do so. Make sure you plan the date well. Always think of topics where both of you can say something about it. In dating, more talk, the better; less talk, boring! However, the conversation is for the two of you, not that you are exercising your monologue prowess and your date is a mere spectator. Avoid also glancing in your wrist watch from time to time. If you think its getting late, don't practice a Cinderella exit. Manner matters.
No-no for first dates: watching a movie especially choosing the love seat (you know what I mean), flirting - as most girls do right now, the "pacute" effect and the "super to the maxx hangin" attitude of the boys, and as I've mentioned NO KISS. Once started with a simple kiss it will lead to another story. A boy will only go as far as a girl permits to do so. A decent girl, excuse the liberated ones, will not permit a boy she dates to use for his advantage. At the same time, a boy with good intentions will not consider taking advantage to the girl whom he dates. No person knows his/her limitations. You just can't go so far then quit. The best way to stop is don't think to start. Bear in mind, it's your first date.
Happy dating!
