The first rule in the Do's of dating is looking your best. If you are planning to ask a girl out to a date, never wear shabby and dirty clothes. The girl might judge your intentions by the way you look. Sadly if you're intentions are pure and serious, you just might get a no if you're not too careful with the way you present yourself.

Second, compliment your date but never exaggerate. It's too obvious when you're sugar-coating every word you say. You can develop trust if you keep overrating her.

Third, be ready for rejections. At some point, people will always experience rejection so don't take it seriously; just learn from it. Do not chase and pressure a girl to say yes to you; pressuring is not one of the ways to get a date.

Fourth, prepare and that includes good timing. Make things happen. Nothing will happen if you will just let fate decide on your date. You hold your fate and the answer of your date. Your date will not come by your house and ring your bell, you have to take action. If you want the girl to take you seriously, then take the date seriously.

The last of the ways to get a date is to be confident. Knowing your intentions will help you decide on what moves to do. If you remain shy, your date might find you boring.

You probably have some idea on what the don'ts in getting a date are since some are correlated with the Do's. Let me explain further.

The first of the Don'ts is to never look too desperate. If a girl says she has to think about the date, give her time. Don't call her thrice a day just to ask if she has decided already. You might end up irritating her plus it's a big turn off.

Second, do not tell lies just to impress a girl. Once the girl finds out your lying, you will never get a second date with her, or worst, you'll never date. One of the ways to get a date is by being honest.

Third, do not date someone who won't take you seriously. If you think she's not worth dating, then don't. It better to protect yourself now than get hurt in the end; don't let it come to a time that your friends and your conscience will have to say "I told you so."

Fourth, do not date a married man/woman. You will just end up being the substitute person if ever his/her spouse is not around. Moreover, a relationship like that has really nowhere to go especially if you're single; there's more out there for you. Put in mind that you are worth more than a substitute person.

Last, when you asked someone out on a date, don't go asking another person out too unless you have been rejected. You might appear insincere with your proposal on dating. Give some respect to the person you asked for a date.

Knowing the proper ways to get a date will not lead you to false hope on dating. Be sure to always be prepared, confident and sincere.
