Your first date... Sounds incredible doesn't it? Especially if its with the person you like! But... what if something goes horribly wrong? In this essay, we will give 4 small recommendations that may be very helpful for your special date. These are one of the most basic steps to take in mind when you are in your first date: preparation, confidence, mutual reciprocity, and your self-presence.

First thing in a date is to make a good planning. With good preparation, a date is more enjoyable and less tense. First, you must know the place where you want to see your partner. Consider her own likes along with yours. Next, you must know the time and date of the meeting. It is preferable to choose a weekend. After that, know how you will dress and prepare yourself for the occasion. Finally, ready anything you might need for the location you will go, like tickets for a movie or materials for your visit on the beach.

Second thing to take in mind in a date is the confidence you must give to your partner. It is very normal to be nervous on your first date because of several reasons, but if you show some confidence and trust in your partner, the situation will become more enjoyable. First thing as a tip to be more calm is to know your preparations, hence the reason to prepare your date. Soon after that, you must grasp the ideal of reality. If something bad suddenly happens, there is nothing to worry about. Sometimes, accidents make a date even more special, and if they don't do so, know that your partner might feel friendly with your mistake. The last step is the fact that you must enjoy the date. There is nothing more beautiful and satisfactory than the expressed emotions of a person who is actually liking the date. (and I mean both here!)

Third step to consider is the reciprocity of both. When you take the whole responsibility of an action, your partner might feel discouraged because he/she also wants to help. If it isn't so, start wondering if your partner is a "trustful" couple. Next of wondering, recognize that your partner might want to be part of the fun too. (Even if we mean fun as paying stuff) If you give trust to him/her, he/she will feel pleased in some way. By now, it is also kind to make small favors if you really want.

Last but not least, is your proper self. A good first date is good when the person you like is there. Not a stereotype of a supposedly totally different perfect person. To notice this sort of act in yourself, you must first recognize if your action is something that you affirm. A decision made against your will is backfired, so be careful. Realize then that your partner is with you because he/she likes you. He/she cares less for the defects! Do not cover them by being a totally different person, but by knowing when its wise to avoid such small mistakes. Finally, tell the same to your partner if you feel him/her different than usual. You are doing him/her a good favor at the end.

Even with all of these steps, there is something that outstands all of them and that you must take as your first rule: Enjoy the date, because no matter what happens, no matter what sort of disgrace you had to pass by, if you and your couple enjoyed the date, there is nothing else to ask for! Feel the happiness of accompanying the partner you now like, and enjoy every single moment you have with him/her, because in reality, you never know when the emotions will dissapear, and its something that adults of today treasure the most from their lives. So, to review, remember to make a good planning of everything, obtain your confidence to make the date more placid, be reciprocative with your partner for more trust between each other, and remember to be you and no one else. I hope these steps helped somehow in your plans, and I wish you the best of luck for your first special date in your life!
