The trials and tribulations of dating make
for good humor and interesting dinner time stories! Doubling your dating pleasure
starts with prioritizing the objectives of the date.
More single men and women could get more out of their dating if they applied
a failsafe approach to the process.
While there aren't any rules to dating, here are a few pointers to enhance
the dating excitement and thwart the perils of dating the wrong prospects.
1. Devise a simple dating plan. Meeting singles through
personal ads, online dating sites and in the bar scene can expose
you to a small percentage of undesirables. To avoid wasting your time, conduct
thorough phone interviews with your prospective dates. Invest five to 10 hours
of phone dating time first.
2. Ask your prospective date the following questions: where
they work, reside, substance abuse habits and marital status. These are important
questions to inquire if you are planning a date. Great time
and energy can be saved by conducting a brief "interview". This
helps both of you to know and understand each other.

3. Make your first date simple. Prior to your date, set
a dating schedule... a minimum of an hour to three hours is ideal.
A failsafe dating plan will assure the both of you are not
obligated or disappointed to prolong a date that may not be going well for either
party. Moreover, it avoids the awkwardness of ending the date soon.
4. Choose a cool dating location. Select a geographically
convenient location for the both of you. Try to find an intimate and
quiet public place but avoid the crowded bar scene because it will not do much
for the first dating encounter if you can't hear each other talking!
5. Enforce dating security and safety. Whether you are a male
or female, notify a close friend about where you plan to go
on your date. Remember, to leave your date's contact information.
6. Make a dating pledge. Plan to go Dutch to alleviate
any hard feelings so that no one bears the sole financial obligation
of the date.
Finally, remember that dating is a numbers game. Every
date will bring you that much closer to finding that special person
who you will spend the rest of your life with!
