		<description>Welcome Sabina to my blog! Hope you enjoy your stay here :grin: 

Yeah, I always believe in giving people at least a 2nd chance, because the first date may have too much at stake to allow a person to truly be themselves haha... your date is lucky! :mrgreen:</description>

		<description>I agree with your No-No&#039;s especially about the judging the book by its covers. Many people have a fantasy about the first date, creating visions in their minds, and sometimes it&#039;s not up to their standard so they feel like it&#039;s not &#039;great&#039; We should realize that it might actually be good and better the next time you two meet :)</description>

		<description>Yep Tim! Thanks for your tip ha!

Sometimes when a guy shows his nervousness in front of a gal, it kinda makes him look very cute in a way that seems to tell us he&#039;s so nervous because we&#039;re special. It&#039;s like being with us makes them tongue-tied. Agree? ;p</description>

		<description>one additional tip? i&#039;m sure it works out for some cases. it&#039;s as simple as &quot;Just don&#039;t be perfect !!!&quot; Yes, do not be perfect. Somehow, show your nervous and do a little clumsy things would sprite up your date. Well, i did say &quot;little&quot; clumsy only. I found it&#039;s cute (and memorable haha) when those little things happen. 

I am not sure how many people out there are looking for someone who&#039;s just like them, and how many are looking for a perfectionist. If your date falls within the former group, so &quot;be clumsy&quot; ... haha</description>

		<description>Thanks for your contribution Mohawks! 

To be yourselves is undeniably very important, because if one goes about putting on a fake mask on the first date just for the sake of impressing, then this person is actually laying a future minefield for him/herself. So unless they can continue to put up that act forever, they are just playing with fire.

On the other hand, sometimes we can&#039;t be too comfortable with oneself. The keyword here is &quot;too&quot;, because when you put yourself in this extreme relaxed state, you tend to be less observing, less conscientious of your own behaviour and less sensitive to your date&#039;s feelings and reactions, and you may just show some sides of you which really should only be left to much later stages when you do progress to become more than just friends.

It&#039;s all about finding that balance, to be relaxed and comfortable with oneself enough to make the other party relaxed and comfortable too, so both of you get to enjoy a wonderful time together. :)</description>

		<description>allo xiao jie,

interesting reading in this webby.

maybe I can contribute a little here. What I feel is that during a first date, both parties should try just being themselves, and not try to be somebody they ain&#039;t.  Otherwise you will probably appear very unnatural and the other party will be able to sense that.

Having said that, how you speak and how courteous you are speaks alot about yourself (without having to &#039;boast&#039; about it).  Simple things like &quot;hello&quot;s and &quot;Thank You&quot;s to the food court lady serving you your mee pok, or the ticket counter guy at the cinema, does go a long way of creating a great first impression.</description>
