The First Date: Short & Sweet

• Posted on June 19th, 2007 in Dating Tips for Men, Dating Tips for Women, Online Dating

Confession time: I’ve been on loads of online dates, and have been better than others. On a positive note, dating the losers has made appreciate the good guys even more!

From my dating experiences, I’ve come up with a great solution for the first date: The Mini-Date.

If you are asking a woman out, ask her to do something casual. Ask her for coffee, an after-work drink, or lunch. A mini-date should last 1-2 hours and the sole purpose is to find out if your online chemistry matches up in real life.

If you are a woman, and you get asked out on a dinner date tell your man that you’d prefer something more casual. A short date tells a man that your time is valuable. If he wants to see you again, then he best impress you in the hour you’ve got for him.

There’s no reason you need dinner, drinks, and dancing to find out if you are a match. Save all that for when you find someone that you are sure you’re willing to give up a night of your life for!

In the mean time, take it from me: short and sweet is the way to go!
