From SMS Chat to a Real Meeting

You got that date via a mobile dating service with that special someone and you want to give a good impression. After all, it will be your first time meeting her face to face after simultaneous sms chats. One of the best things you can do is give that person your full attention. Nothing is as miserable as being with someone who gets distracted by any little thing. As a Mobile Dater, you may be accustomed to certain behavior, since all you see is your cell phone’s screen, but now is going to be different, meeting the same person, with whom you’ve communicated with comfort, without feeling awkward, using your text flirting powers. And now, she’s finally gave you her phone number and you are ready to meet.

Here are a few tips for giving your full attention to your date:

Keep your eyes on your date when you are talking to them and especially when they are talking to you. This does not mean staring at them blankly. Engage your eyes in a meaningful way that will not spook your date.

Another courtesy is to not get caught eyeing up the first attractive person who walks by. If you do, that first date could end up being your last date because the person will feel that you are still playing the field and may get hurt feelings.

When you are on a date, shut off your cell phone or Blackberry. Unless you are a doctor, there is no reason why you need to be available to anyone wants to call you.

Don’t spend all of your time talking about yourself. Pay attention to the expressions on your date’s face and look for any signs for when it is time to change the subject.

Ask your date questions that will help you to get you know more about that person. Respond in a way that lets them know that not only are you listening, but that you have considered their response and would like to know more about that person.

It is easy to make your date feel special and to let that person know that you enjoy their company. Remember that you are on a date because you want to spend quality time with the person and to get to know them better. You can make your date feel like they are the only person who matters to you during your time together by following these few simple tips.
