Dating Mistakes You Could be Making
During your time together on a date, it’s common to make mistakes that could
give your date the wrong idea about you. Not just that, but making the most out
of an opportunity on a date is often overlooked. Be sure to avoid these mistakes
on your next date.
Putting too much emphasis on feelings
A common mistake is relying too much
on chemistry. How you feel about a person after just 1 date can change. People
connect on more than 1 level and romantic interest is just one of those levels.
Intellectually, through humor, how safe you feel around them, feeling confident
in silence, knowing they have your back, being valued and cherished, how they
feel about you; these are all ways that people connect. Relying only on
chemistry is a common mistake people make on dates, as chemistry can change over
time.
Don’t just give them the facts
In a relationship, people secretly like
intrigue and romance. Not only is this achieved through the way you dress, but
also in the way you converse with your date. The goal is to stir up mystery, and
not give away the full story about yourself. When asked about yourself, don’t
just give them the facts, you need to charm them into your world. For example if
you are a waitress, don’t just say that, talk about what parts about being a
waitress you like, your most exciting stories, the craziest thing that happened
to you. Your goal is get them involved in your world, not just give them the
details. When they go about their week after the date is over, if they have been
told you’re just a waitress, they are not going to be thinking about you. But if
you told them an exciting story, or the parts of your career that you’re
passionate about, they are more likely to think about you throughout the week.
Leave them wondering about the rest of your life.
Not being prepared
You know that awkward silence that happens when you
have nothing left to talk about. This can happen if people aren’t equipped. This
is why it’s best to be prepared about what you can bring up in conversation
throughout the evening. Have a mental list prepared in advance of the subjects
you want to bring up such as; their most memorable moment in life, their
proudest moment, and celebrities they would want to date. This will not just
help you avoid any awkward silence, but will paint you out to be a secure and
interesting person to be with, which in turn will make you more appealing in
their eyes.

Directing the date
Too many people on dates just ‘go with the flow’. They
let the conversation steer wherever it happens to go. This isn’t ideal. What
should be done is to steer the discussion, and control where it goes. The
subjects you talk about can be controlled. They should be aimed at ones that are
exciting and will stir up passion, such as cooking or nature or their last
escape, memories that made them excited about life. You want to be associated
with passion and excitement.
Flirty subjects such as; which celebrity you
would like to date, or what part of the body they like the most are good topics
to bring up. This is because it sets the mood for romance and excitement,
instead of leaving the date bored and feeling ‘stuck on a date’.
Another good topic to bring up is anything that gives you a chance to
compliment them. Don't just stick with giving them the details about you, use
the time together to show them that you are loving and supportive through your
discussions.. There are certain emotions that come up when people think about a
specific person. Your goal is to get in their memory, and be associated with
good emotions when they think about you. This is done through complimenting
remarks.
These subjects will paint you out to be passionate, exciting,
fascinating, and leave a lasting idea on their mind. You need to set the mood
for romance and excitement through your conversations, don’t just hope it
happens.
Overthinking the small things they did
What exactly did he mean by
something he said? Should your date have kissed you by the 3rd date if he likes
you? There are these typical rules for dating procedure that we're supposed to
follow right? Does everybody know them? I think not. Sometimes people get
nervous, or think the right answers to these rules are different that the answer
you know. Overthinking the small rules of dating can sometimes destroy a
potentially good relationship.
Didn't give them enough time
Perhaps you’ve been on one or two dates and
haven’t felt anything for them. So you’ve decided to write them off as just
friends. Most romantic interests are developed over a longer time frame where
time is spent in close proximity with a person. Writing a person off as
unattracted to after such a short period of time can be premature.

First impressions can be wrong
Out of nervousness, or whatever reason,
people can give the wrong impression from what they intended or who they really
are. This is why putting too much emphasis on first impressions can be
misleading. Don't forget that people can also change.
Keeping a date typical
Is exactly how you get forgotten and put along all
the typical dates your date has been on before. Do something that makes your
time together stand out. Have dessert first during dinner, or give them a teddy
bear instead of flowers. If you are making a wish at a fountain, go in and get
yourself wet. You want to stand out as special. Keeping your dates typical won’t
make them see you as better than the rest, it will just make you out to be the
same and you don’t want to be associated with their ex’s.
Your date will respond with what you put out
How you conduct yourself
and your body language will determine how they act and their body language.
Acting shy can have a cumulative effect where they respond similarly. Most
people are afraid of getting close to their dates or touching them. Being secure
in physical touch through a hand on their back, or grabbing their hand can do
wonders in impressing them. Confident eye contact and being close to them can
actually relax their mood because they see that it’s normal to you. This will
also jump you over barriers that they may have unconsciously put up.
Sex
Sleeping with a date too early can sometimes end a potential
relationship. Men typically need more time for the; mystery, romance, and
anticipation of sex to play a vital role in the building of a lasting,
meaningful relationship. Just like reading the last page of a book, sex too soon
can suck the fun out of a relationship.
These dating mistakes are sometimes hidden, and can make or break a future
relationship. Lucky for you, you have been made aware of them, and can avoid
them in the future.
