Lesbian Dating: How to Avoid First-Date Mistakes
By Kaylee Larson, LesbianLoveNow.com
So you’ve met someone who excites you, and you are set for a first date. Of course you want this first date to be a success. Being aware of potential mishaps and following these basic points will help you avoid making some of the first-date mistakes that could lead to dating disaster:
-
Have a back up plan ready. Don’t just hope that the show you want to attend or the restaurant you would like to eat at will have tickets or a table available for you. Make sure you make a backup plan you can fall back on so that you can maintain the energy of the date.
-
Keep it simple. If you haven't known your companion for a very long time, don’t pry too much into her personal life. Ask basic questions about what she likes. Don’t press her for details about her last relationship or expect her to want to talk about it. On the other hand, some women really appreciate the opportunity to discuss previous relationships, so make sure to show some respect for her feelings on the subject.
-
Help her feel comfortable. Don’t get overly touchy-feely with her. This is a first date, the two of you are just getting to know each other, and she may not feel comfortable if you make advances too soon.
-
Leave room for mystery. Don’t talk about yourself too much. You don’t want to bore her or overwhelm her with too much information. Let her wonder about you. This will pique her interest and inspire her to ask questions about you.
-
Avoid losing your cool. Even if the restaurant service is terrible, don’t be rude to the wait staff. Rudeness and annoyance simply show that you have little patience, which reflects badly on you and could send the wrong message to your date.
-
Think before you kiss. Don’t go in for the goodnight kiss unless she has responded well to a few touches between the two of you earlier in the date. If she responds well to small touches and you have been picking up the intensity throughout the night, that first kiss will come naturally. If it doesn’t, don’t fret. The second date might be the right time for the first kiss.
As you follow these rules and prepare yourself for your date, you will feel more confident, giving you a greater chance at having a successful first date, which could lead to many more dates in the future. Eventually, you may find yourself in a loving, committed relationship and enjoying the love of your life.
