First Date Don'ts
Don't be Obsessive: Don't call constantly to see why your perspective new mate hasn't called you. Don't leave numerous voice messages or emails as to why you haven't heard from her/him in the last day or so. These tactics makes you appear as if you are desperate.
Don't Pressure: Don't expect miracles in the first little while, putting pressure on someone to commit in the early stages of a relationship will backfire and most likely they will run for cover.
Don't talk about your Ex: Don't discuss your ex unless he/she asks you first. If you continue to chat about your past relationship it will give the appearance that you aren't over it yet.
