How To Plan A Perfect Date

It is very important to understand any person before jumping into any kind of relationship with him/her. To explore any person, you obviously need to spend some quality time with him/her and that is why, it is very important to go on a date with him/her. It is important for you to understand a person's likes, dislikes, hobbies, interests, profession, passions and weaknesses, before you decide any further about your future. It is always said that, though the opposite attracts, it is generally a like-minded couple that sustains together. Though there is no hard and fast rule about what you should look for in a guy or girl, it is always good to check out your compatibility level with your date. In the following lines, we will tell you how to plan a perfect date with someone special.
 
Planning The Perfect Date
While there is no perfect rule for a date to be successful, certain measures always help to make it the best time spent together. Given here are few steps which would help your date to be perfect…
 
Dress Comfortably
The first and foremost thing is how you look on your date, as looks decide the first impression. However, make sure that in order to look ultra glamorous or cool, you do not try those outfits in which you are not comfortable. It is better to stick to your original persona, if you are going on a date. This is because any uncomfortable dress can result in weird gestures and ultimately, might lead to a pathetic date. Just dress neatly and groom yourself a little and you are ready!
 
Choose A Safe Yet Peaceful Venue
If you are going on a date for the first time or you are not well aware of your partner, it is better to stick to public places, like some coffee corner or ice cream parlor. Some popular hangout places can also be chosen. However, do make sure that you do not chose places that are unnecessarily noisy, as you need some peace to talk to your partner and explore him/her.
 
Keep Your Budget in Mind
You should always keep your budget in mind, while planning a date. In case you are not able to afford a very expensive venue, look for places that have a good crowd, but are not expensive. Student hangout corners and cafeterias are the best options. If you are guy, make sure you are the first one to offer the bill and if you are a girl, try to convince your partner to allow you to pay half the bill.
 
Let Your Date Speak
Even if you are the most talkative person on this earth, make sure that you talk a little less on you date and allow your partner to participate in the discussion. Only when he/she will speak something, you will come to know about his/her personality, likes, dislikes, interests, and so on. At the same time, try to find topics of mutual interest, so that there are no awkward pauses later on.
 
Be True About Yourself
Though most of the people love to boast in front of their dates, it is better if you do not try your hands on this. Sticking to your true self will not only give a true reflection of your persona, but also leave an honest impression, in the mind of your date, for ever. Always remember, a relation based on fake promises can’t sustain in the long run.
 
Present A Gift
Try to present your partner with a small gift, at the end of the date, just before biding good bye. This will make your date sweet and memorable. You need not spend extensively on this gift, as it is the gesture that counts, and not the price tag. The gift can range from something as simple as a handmade flower bouquet to something as expressive as a self-written poem!
