- Smile frequently
- Laugh often
- Avoid screening your date (ex: what do you do for work?, are you divorced? etc.)
- Be your polished, best self
- Eliminate generalizations. You're at dinner w/a human being. Leave the male v. female comments at home
- Say what's on your mind when it's positive (ex: it's so cool that you appreciate fine dining too)
- Compliment your friends and family and just leave out the negatives (he'll learn those on his own)
- Give yourself time to listen
- Allow him to talk about himself
- You are a Christian - make sure your dates know and are comfortable with that
- Men who ask for lunch, coffee or drink dates (they can't commit, trust me. Been there, done that)
- Men who take a long time to ask you out (Too many issues to name but let's start with this one...probably has confidence issues which will leach into your relationship)
- Mixed signals (he either has a girl friend, isn't over a girl friend or doesn't know what he wants yet) -- all excellent reasons to stay away
REMEMBER, you only have one heart and it can only be broken a certain amount of times. Put all encounters with all people before Christ in prayer. Do not proceed if He doesn't clear it. Trust me on this one!
