Dating sessions are always a great opportunity to get to know your potential match and determine if they're the right fit for you. To make the date memorable, there are certain things you should and shouldn't do that we'd like to suggest to help you. Let's find out right away
1. Things to do on a date
1.1 Pay attention to your attire
Key Considerations for Your First Meeting and Subsequent Dates

Selecting the right outfit for dates is crucial, making the outing more enjoyable. It not only gives a sense of respect but also shows your genuine interest in the date.
While dressing appropriately is essential, avoid overly elaborate attire. Opt for clothes that suit the date location and weather. Express your unique style through your outfits as well
1.2 Make an Impression with Fragrance
Scientific studies suggest that humans often remember scents and have positive impressions of those with pleasant fragrances. During a date, being in close proximity allows your counterpart to quickly notice your scent. If you consistently use a particular fragrance, they might recognize you by this aroma even before seeing you

You can choose a perfume that suits your interests, the date location, and the weather. On cool, crisp days, warm-scented perfumes would be the perfect choice. On hot, sweltering days, opt for refreshing scents from body mist or cool-scented perfumes
1.3 Plan Your Date Clearly
The key to making a girl feel at ease is when a man knows how to take initiative, not just in big things but also in small daily decisions. A clear, well-thought-out date plan, aligning with both parties' interests, is sure to earn you absolute points in her eyes

For women, if you already have a place in mind, suggest it to your guy. Because all his preparations are to win your heart. Just a gently worded opening, and he'll surely pamper you right away
1.4 Listen to Your Partner's Words
Listening is a crucial rule in any relationship. It doesn't mean you have to be silent from start to finish; you just need to show that you're listening, understanding, and genuinely interested in your partner's story. Sometimes, you can also 'immerse' yourself in their narrative to create a more comfortable atmosphere

Moreover, being a good listener will make your partner feel that you care about them and are ready to be there to listen to their heartfelt words
1.5 Behave with Etiquette
This is a special advice for the gentlemen. Be more considerate when you're with the other half. If you pay attention, you'll always notice moments when the fairer sex needs assistance. These are very simple actions but can earn you high points

Polite actions are essential (Source: Compilation)
Some actions you can help her with include: opening water bottle caps, flipping down the motorcycle kickstand, opening car doors, opening doors to a venue, pulling out the chair, preparing chopsticks when dining, asking about her food preferences to order a suitable dish, etc. These are things that ladies can do, but if you assist them, they will highly appreciate you
2. Things to Avoid
2.1 Avoid being late
Making your partner wait during dates will make the relationship 'unstable.' No one wants to spend too much time just waiting, especially if they are busy; it can be frustrating to waste time like that

Being late is a taboo (Source: Compilation)
Organize your time to arrive at the meeting point 10 minutes early or exactly on time. If there's an unexpected issue, give them a call to inform them, so they can wait for you with peace of mind and comfort
2.2 Avoid constant phone usage
Being inseparable from phones is common in today's society. However, during a date, both should dedicate time to talk about daily life or shared interests to foster a closer connection

In case you need to address an urgent matter and require phone use for about 10-15 minutes or more, don't hesitate to inform your partner. They will happily wait for you if they know what you need to do and how long it will take
2.3 Avoid excessive complaining
Talking too much about oneself is a common issue for many guys and girls. Besides topics like hobbies, habits, and daily life, refrain from complaining or blaming during dates. No one enjoys hearing endless complaints or your unhappy stories throughout the entire date

Sharing with your partner is good, but you need to control your emotions. Share your stories with them and avoid making the date overly negative
2.4 Avoid sloppy dressing
This is a problem many guys still struggle with on dates. Wrinkled, unkempt clothes can be a major turn-off for girls during dates. Especially after a few meetings, guys tend to become lazy in maintaining their appearance

Always dress well for dates. This not only helps you score points but also shows respect to your partner, indicating that you care about both of your dates
2.5 Avoid neglecting your partner's emotions
During dates, show more interest in your partner. Simply ignoring them while they enthusiastically share stories or providing dismissive responses to their topics will be noticed. Consistently displaying indifferent attitudes is detrimental to both relationships

Also, don't overly focus on a topic that your partner shows disinterest or discomfort in. If they've expressed their feelings, continuously probing may lead to a less-than-pleasant end to the date
