Hi. I'm 21 years old and i finally got my legit first date (yeah i know, im a loser lol). And i know first impression really counts and last forever. I do not want to screw it up... those here on a date before please give me some tips/advices of what to do.
I heard from my friends that guys have to treat the girls they are with on their first and the following date. Ok. is this entirely true? do i really need to take out money and treat my gf to bring out my good side of first impression? other than that, anything else i should look out for? My friends also told me that do not focus on my handphone for too long and do not look at unknown passerby girls.
Anything else you guys wanna add on? please help.. because im really nervous here and i freaking scared i may screw this up. Is movies the only good places for dates to go?
just be cool about it lah
most important is be urself
cos soon u will be tired of listening to others and following "instructions" and pretending to be someone else
and girls r very sensitive. we know one k!
To ts , you like that girl ?. if yes , pay for every single thing even if she rejects.
you must know sg girls are very "xian shi" one. And for guys pride is very important as
well. You must really knows how to entertain her , if she gets bored then gg.

damn ego
me no like
Dates are to have fun.....if the girl doesnt take her purse out, then you pay, if she say dutch, then go dutch, if she thinks you are handsome enough to treat you, then just enjoy.
Just be confident and be ready to lead if she lets you.

what is xian shi? my chinese failed badly. only good at english haha. Yep, i think i have humor but not sure if its enough to make her feel entertained.
fireice - sensitive? like i cant accidentally glance at other girls u mean?
SBS2601D - wait wait... so on first dates, i have to let a girl become the leader?
hahahaha
no....
What I meant was that these things require "feel".
If you know her prior to this, then this will be easier.
If not, then you should take the lead by default and decide the game plan. If she has other ideas though, she's likely to let you know anyway and then you can let her lead!
"xian shi" means materistic .
and dont ever let the girl decide where to go
they will think you dont have the abilitiy to decide where to go.
if you're handsome enuff then dun worry about your appearance , just wear polo-t
jeans and look smart/rich can liao.
All the best manxz , dun throw our face ^^
I am probably an uncle to you but I am sure I can cheap in some tips. Paying for a date was quite a norm for man during my time but I understand perception has changed a lot as the status of girls are different too. Anyway, in general girls still like boy to offer to pay. So you should definitely take some iniative there. But I have heard of cases where girls prefer dutch because she is unsure of the development of this first date and prefers zero string attached. You will definitely have to make some judgement call.
Paying is the smallest part. Communication is always the biggest and most difficult especially with this gadget generation. Movie is always a classic first date choice because it also offer some topic for chatting, an ice breaker to loosen both party.
Don't forget to bring your humor too and an interest to life! Talk on common soft topics like movies, food, music, computer, etc is what I tried before. Also show genuine keen interest of who she is. When both of you are able to share who each of you are and show keeness at other and kick off common life topics, you will be on route to a relationship.
when i go on dates with girls, i expect them to pay.

i dont like to judge my own looks. But i dont think i am handsom... will it ruin my first date? we only go out because we started off as quite a good friend. Will i need to wear long sleeve shirt to cover up my "not so muscular arm"?

tell me. what did u do exactly on your first date? how it went? i need to know some tips please. ok since most of u guys prefer a guy to pay for their first date, i guess i do it haha. After reading your first paragraph, im not sure im confident enough for this because what if she is hard to read?

ok got it. Follow her flow
Protip: Do not ask if you could zip her on the first date
Originally posted by let_me_zip_u:ok got it. Follow her flow
Don't just follow her flow always. U gotta have ideas and stuff where to go and what to do first. Her flow comes during the course of the date. U can't just have a rigid plan, but u gotta HAVE a plan.
And don't try toooo hard man. Just relax and try not to read in too much on her every move and whatever she says or does. Anyway's its ur first date, it wont go perfectly. There will be 2nd 3rd 4th dates.... or with other people. Soon u will get the vibe.
Just stick to the basics and you will be fine. Unless she is one demanding princess. lol
she needs to pay on first dates.

you love eating soft rice.
first rule first, do not be overly nervous. if you are you will very likely make a lot of blunders.
humour is good
witty is best
but no stupid jokes or æ¬ æ‰�é—®ç”题
she must pay.
so demanding, want me to follow her accompany her go anywhere, carry her shopping bags and ietms, follow her eat what she eat, leash walk her dog, laff at her jokes, listen to her complaning about friends work, colleagues, wait for her while she tab iphone talks over the phone, shop and window shop over again in the mall, sit with her at the beach wait for sunrise watch sun set, wants me to take her photos and videos in hotel room must bring all my studio lightin equipment somemore..
.
find gf for what pourpose?
if you want a long term relationship or eventually want her to be wife, then you have to see if each other personality can click or not.
yep first date pay. you have to set aside a budget for this. tip just be yourself. also observe what character she have, dont be too intrusive when askign question. little things she do you can tell her character alot.
like go job interview as much as employers reviewing you, you also reviewing your future bosses colleagues and company.
