Women the ball is always in your court when it comes to dating and relationships especially on the first date. You don’t have to date anyone that you don’t want. You don’t have to go anywhere that you don’t want. The more up front you are with the man before going out with him, the easier the first date will be.
Some women do not ask men out. They think that by doing this they are being too forward. There is nothing wrong with asking a man out. Just make sure that he knows it is on your terms.
No matter who asks it is best to make sure that everyone is on the same page before the first date. Let the man know right away that you are going out as friends. Do not give him any reason to think that the relationship is nothing more. It’s best to move slowly.
Agree to a date that you are both comfortable with. Meeting for lunch is usually a good way to start. This way you are in a setting where both people expect nothing more than a meal and conversation. There is usually a set time so that both of you know when the date will end. And neither of you will feel as though you have to impress the other.
If you decide to do dinner and something else then agree beforehand on where you will meet and what you will do. If you want him to pick you up give him an arrival time. If you want to drive then let him know. If you want to meet at the site of the date then let him know. This way you know how the date will end as well.
Once you are on the date keep things light. You don’t have to tell him anything about yourself, but don’t be a closed book. Let him talk and listen to what he has to say. And laugh. What’s the use in going out with a man if you can’t laugh and joke with him?
Be courteous throughout and let him do the same. If he wants to open doors for you then let him. If he wants to help you with your coat then let him. If he wants to help you with your chair then let him. If he compliments you on your looks then thank him. A man will not do these things if he does not want to so acknowledge them.
When it’s time to say goodbye do it on your terms. If you want him to escort you to your door then let him. If you just want to shake hands then that’s fine. If you want to hug it is okay. If you want to kiss that’s fine too. Whatever you want make sure that it’s the right thing for that moment.
But always remember that in dating and relationships the ball is always in your court especially on the first date.
