From choosing the outfit, calming the nerves, all through to not knowing what to expect altogether. Here are things NOT to do on your first date with your potential bae.
1. Don’t be too talkative, or too passive.
Have your presence, but don’t cloud the person in a sense that they have no room to throw in an opinion. We are not saying you should just be a spectator as they do all the talking; it’s your date as well, after all. Throw in your own opinion about the galaxy, and let them have a chance to talk about what they think of the minions as well, it’s only fair.
2. Don’t eat too much.
Don’t leave home in an empty stomach, don’t eat too much either. You don’t want to seem like you have been on hunger games all along, just as much as you don’t want to seem too cheesy. Have a salad, or any easy meal, oh, and don’t ask for a take away. It just makes you look somehow.
3. Don’t be self-glorious.
It’s okay to talk about yourself, the motive is to get to know each other anyway, but don’t get consumed in it. You don’t want to bore your potential bae with all those redundant details about how much of a shoe maniac you are. Be baeable.
4. Don’t be on your phone the whole time.
Resist the social media bug, no matter how loud the call may be. It is a total bore to sit next to someone who checks their phone every five seconds.
5. No selfies.
As tempting as it may be, don’t take selfies with him. He is not your bae yet, what do you intend to do with the selfies? Post them on social media? Gerara here man!
6. Don’t give out the marriage idea.
It’s a date! You know, like, Date My Family…not Our Perfect Wedding. Don’t scare him off, because trust me, the moment you show your desperation for marriage, is the same moment you will lose your potential bae. Just hol’up!
7. Don’t give it up.
This needs no substantiation, it’s the golden rule. Keep it closed up in there, maybe a kiss, but definitely not the cookie jar. No!
You will thank us later, when he is completely your baeable bae!
