They do get involved with other people, ask them to go out with them quite a number of time sand gradually get into a deeper relationship starting from the first date.
But after sometime when the other person asks for something more they say curtly that they were not ready for this. This is what is simply disgusting. You should not drag others into dating you until and unless you are completely prepared yourself.
In fact many are there who step out from the dating affairs giving a lame excuse just because they were not aware of the consequences. But if you are such a kid who does not know what responsibilities can arise from dating then this is not your cup of tea, not yet.
How to prepare?
First of all you need to understand that the person, who is asking you for a date, already likes you and wish to know more about you. If you are not ready to open up in front of him or her then the best way is to deny the date instantly in a polite tone. It is better for the other person because he will not get hurt later. Now it might happen with you that after you went for out on the very first day with the person, you did not like quite a few things about him.
If this is the case then be bold and tell him clearly that this cannot go further. Some of you were into a steady relationship in the past. Go for another date or accept a dating proposal only when you feel that you are completely over the past affair. Otherwise you will not only be deceiving the other person but also spoiling your time. If you had a bad past then make sure that you are capable of disclosing that to the date because no relationship would be healthy if you are not honest.
Then the final important preparation that you need to take before dating someone is to turn your attitude into positive attitude. Always be ready for rejection because this is a common thing in dating and never let your confidence level go down because of this.
Being scared will spoil half of the date. So make sure you are perfectly relaxed while going for a date. Start preparing yourself and see how interesting dating could be.
