Here is Shelia's sage advice to those in search of their soul mates:
----------------------------
Do you get nervous before a first date?
Dating should be fun and when you meet a person you're really interested in,
you really want things to go perfect. Here are a few things not to do on a first
date:
Don't talk about your ex. Unless the
other person asks you about your ex, do not spend the entire date talking about
problems you and your ex encountered.
Don't do all of the talking. How many
times have you been out with someone and they go on and on about themselves and
never let you get a word in edgewise? Give the other person time to talk.
Listening is just as important as talking.
Don't give it up too soon. Good sex can
cloud your judgment. You might think he's the best thing since sliced bread,
but he's really not. You're only thinking he is because he knows how to hit
your G-spot.
Don't start something you're not
willing to put up with later. That means no faking. No pretending like you like
something just to get the person and then do a 360 once you're in a
relationship. To thine self be true always.
Don't settle. If you do, you'll find
yourself caught up in a relationship you really don't want.
What are some other things you shouldn't
do on a first date?
