| IJL Survey results: Conversation Tips For A First Date »
- Remember the 2:1 rule. Do not contact your new crush more than twice without hearing a response from them. Contacting them via phone call, text, email, facebook excessively can show desperation and that can be a turnoff.
- Don’t Lie. It’s good to be upfront and truthful about any aspect of your life within the first couple dates, even if you’re worried they won’t like it. You wouldn’t want to jeopardize a potentially long-term relationship because of some silly lie you told on your first date because you were trying to impress.
- Don’t make the same mistake twice. It’s important to recognize traits and patterns that are bad for us. There is a reason why relationships with these people didn’t work out, don’t make the same mistake twice. It’s important to seek out healthy relationships with people who bring out the best in you.
- Don’t tell too much. While it’s important not to lie, it’s also important to not reveal too much about ourselves at the beginning. Getting to know someone takes time and you should let the relationship evolve and grow naturally. Opening up about deep, dark secrets may lead to rejection.
