First date "rules"

[mandimija]

Don't overthink it. First dates are just that: first dates. I usually go for a "Hey, great to see you!" and a quick hug (if that). I put sex on the first date no-no list.

Avoid bad mouthing your X(s), don't complain about every little thing under the sun, don't get drunk.....blah blah blah

Ask questions about him and really listen to his answers.

Oh and go in with low/no expectations!

Eh, depends on the person. I've done nothing, I've done a hug, I've done a kiss on the cheek. I guess it boils down to how I am feeling them.

Sex (IMHO) is a no. Past relationships, my sex life (past or present), religious beliefs, etc are ususally no nos for me.

I would do a quick hug. You already know the guy so it might help to break the ice.

I usually do the kiss on the cheek because that is the rule where I live. I remember doing that while living in the US and the guy thought that I was going to kiss him so that was really awckward.

Ditto on the negative. My worst date ever was with a guy who bitched about everything. I think I finally got him to admit that the food was good. I was si ready to get home after that.

I always kiss my friends male or female on the cheek as a greeting...it's the norm in my circle. Even at work to thank someone or if they're having a rough day or at the holidays (not a daily greeting of course). So I wouldn't feel weird kissing him on the cheek, but he's from a different state where I think hugging as a greeting my be the norm...lol..I'm over thinking this!
