1. Don’t give up The more people you meet and date, the better your chances are of finding the right one.

2. Be positive Nothing is more attractive than someone who is passionate and excited about their own life!

3. Always look your best Even if it doesn’t work out with your date, they might know someone perfect for you.

4. Never talk about marriage Don’t talk about how everyone you know is married with babies, etc. This makes you sound desperate.

5. Don’t talk about your ex If you are asked, say something simple like, “It just didn’t work out,” and move on. Too much information too soon can backfire. Save the details for later when and if you know each other better.

6. Be nice to the waiter Men and women mention this to us all the time! If your date is rude and demanding in the restaurant on a first date, one can only imagine how they behave in private.

7. Be a good listener Make eye contact while listening and ask questions. People love to talk about themselves - especially men!

8. Don’t hog the conversation This one speaks for itself!

9. Don’t drink too much There is no bigger turn-off and if you drink too much, you might break rule No. 10 which is…

10. Keep your pants on Absolutely no sex on the first date!
