Date etiquette

One thing that I think should be common etiquette for a first date is to not make it more than like two hours. I think first dates where they are really long or you know take up a bunch of time, it's just too much. Obviously like the date could be going really well and you want to spend more time with them but I think it's appropriate to respect one another's time and I think this one is obvious but just stay off your phone and put it away because it's a distraction and when you have your phone put away you're able to engage more in the conversation to maintain eye contact to show that you really do want to be present and to get to know them and be with them.

I think one of the best day etiquettes that you that you can like demonstrate on a date is just genuine interest even if this person isn't your future wife or husband or even maybe if you're not clicking the best off the bat the best thing that you can do on a date um the best way to show appreciation gratitude for date is just to show genuine interest during the date to ask some real genuine questions to have real genuine conversation it's very easy to tell if someone is like disinterested and so I think that that's a really important aspect of good dating

I'm of the opinion, like, always open the door for them when you want to hold their hand, like, I don't know, you can go for it, and hold their hand, actually, yeah, I would just do, personally, but if you're, like, trying to give them a kiss, I think it's respectful to ask if they are okay with that. So those, I don't know, that's just, like, an idea or a thought, but there's a lot of things that you should honestly do.

All right, ladies, it's hard to be on time. I get it. We've got to look perfect. What if this is the guy? You got to get rid of your nerves and then you got to feel all cool and calm and collective once you get there. But you've got to be on time. In fact, be early. Be like two or three minutes early. It's not a big deal. But I promise you guys will get a yield. It will benefit you greatly. If you're on time, or even if you're just a little early, it won't make you look desperate. It just makes you look responsible and put together. I promise.

Be on time, be polite, and have enthusiasm regardless of how you feel like the night is going to go or if you're not totally sure about the person just yet. Like, do what you need to do to feel comfortable, but be enthusiastic. Make someone else's night, you know?

Guys show up on time, open the door for the girl, pick her up if she's comfortable with it, plan the date, that's a big one for guys at least, especially if it's like a first or second or third date, usually the guy should be planning the date, I think. Obviously there's the sidewalk rule, if you know, you know. If not, basically the guy just walks on the side of the road with the girl on the other side, just in case, just in case a car comes or something, I don't even know. But yeah, that's some date advocacy.

After watching the video that was recorded in this section, I definitely agree you should let your date know how to dress for the date. I think that's super appropriate. That way you there's no miscommunication and you're not overdressed or underdressed and that could just make for an awkward situation. I also think it's really important to make sure you let your date know how long the date might be and what you're doing. That can just give them peace of mind and you know just know how long they should expect to be on the date. And I also think it's important on like a first or second date to not make it too long. It can be awkward and kind of hard to be on a date for a really long time with somebody that you don't know very well, but that's just what I think in my personal opinion.

Dating etiquette can be good and bad. One of the biggest things that I think is important for dates, especially first dates, is to ask more than you tell and just be very respectful of boundaries and be willing to speak about why you want to keep those boundaries. For instance, you're not going to be physical if that's something you guys both agree on. You're going to meet in public if that's something you both agree on. Things like that to make sure the other person feels comfortable and safe and then to get to know them. That's your goal as opposed to just tell about yourself.

It doesn't matter a ton how you ask the girl out, make sure you establish it's a date. If you say let's go hang out and then you call it a date afterwards, the girl does not like that. They want you to be direct, ask them out on a date. Do you want to go out on a date? When you're on the date, open her door like every single time. Every, every, every single time. You obviously pay. Don't be on your phone. Do not be on your phone. Like that's ridiculous. Um, other than that, you're fine. You're set boys. Be respectful. Always walk her to the door. Always pick her up from her door unless it's like a really confusing complex and then she'll let you know. Golden.

Good thing to do is make sure that you're both aware of how you're going to dress appropriate to the activity. I just think it would be really awkward if you showed up looking nice and your date didn't really get that, you know, this was a formal thing. You know, don't show up wearing sweats if that's not the established, we're gonna wear sweats.

Okay, you're going on a date. You haven't been on a date in a while, you're kind of scared. You don't really know what you're doing for the date. You don't really know how to act, you don't really know what to say. I think the biggest thing, it might sound kind of cheesy to whatever, but always open the door if you're the guy. And if you're the girl, let him. He feels good about himself, though you feel good about yourself because you just got treated like a princess. The doors are big, regardless of how much you know him, regardless of whether you don't know him at all, always open the door. Unless you're like walking somewhere. If you're in the car, always open the door and always accept the door. You got it.

I just think you should be really polite. I think, like, if a guy asks a girl on a date that he should open the door for her in the car, he should probably pay for the meal or whatever activity they're doing. And I think the girl, or whoever gets asked on the date, needs to show a lot of gratitude and be really respectful because the other person is using their money to do something fun for them.
