FAQ
What should you do with a date?
Don't talk all night about yourself. It's boring!
Asking questions is not a sign of weakness. If she says yes, you can be sure she is expressing what you want.
If she says no, then you'll have nothing to say.
Instead, ask her questions about herself. Ask her what she likes in food, drink and music.
You'll be more open to one another and enjoy their company.
How can you impress your crush?
Try to be cool. Dress up. Get new clothes. Get a haircut.
Second, be entertaining. Talk about the things you are passionate about. Your knowledge of specific topics can be displayed.
Third, show that you care about her. Give her little gifts. Write her letters. Send flowers.
Fourth, be interested in her. Get as much information as possible about her.
Fifth, prove that you are funny. Laugh at the jokes she tells you. Enjoy playing games together.
Finally, be honest. Don't lie to her. She deserves honesty.
How do I know if my online date is serious?
If you are serious about dating someone who isn’t looking for sex but would like to find love, it is important to take the time and get to know them.
It could be that they don't want to spend too much time with family and friends.
They may have also been on many dates in the past, which would indicate they have been dating other people.
This is a red flag because if they aren't willing to put themselves out there by meeting others, they probably don't care about finding true love.
Dating is a serious matter. You must always be truthful.
This will help them understand where you stand and give you both a chance to see if things work out.
