Matchmaking Tips For Women- The Date Begins Part 1

Let's talk about option 1; the man wants to pick you up. Even if you are self sufficient and feel this is unnecessary, let him do it. This ensures you that if you are not sure of where you are going, you will be able to find the restaurant together.

Also, and much more important, this is considered more romantic. It's a good sign ladies that he wants the evening to go well for you. Consider it a special night as you are having dinner with him, so let him pick you up.

Now, when he shows up at your door to pick you up, he most likely will be looking to give you a kiss on the cheek. One kiss if he is American, two kisses if he is French or Italian.

Now, drum rolls ladies...you might be thinking that he came all this way to pick you up and at the least, you should invite him in. No, it's not necessary. You can save the tour of your place as a reward for him later. The main objective is to get to dinner.

One key point for you ladies. If you don't really know him well, if you met on the internet and aren't comfortable giving your home address out, then don't. In this case, tell him nicely that it's easier for you to meet at an alternate location and he will understand. If he does not, then say good bye and move on.

Option 2; you meet him at the restaurant. Sometimes its more practical to just meet him at the restaurant, so don't panic if he doesn't pick you up. Don't insist as this will just make you look like a high -maintenance lady and that's no way to start off the evening.

The down side to this is there could be some serious miscommunication. To avoid this potential disaster, here are four things your guy will hope you will do.

Be on time. The matchmaking rule allows for a 10 minute grace period. Don't try and be cool by being fashionably late. Not with your date.

  1. If you get stuck and will be more than 10 minutes late, call him and have a good reason, and it better be a good reason.
  2. If you do get there first, don't sit down at the bar and begin to drink alone. Wait for him. You can order a glass of water as he will want to join you for your first drink and pay for it.
  3. When you arrive, check in with the hostess before you disappear and he can't find you. Make sure to tell the hostess that you are there to me your date. The matchmaking rules encourage this behavior. The hostess should point you out to your date to avoid an awkward situation of him spending energy trying to figure out who you are.
  4. Matchmaking rules always suggest that your first date be in a public place like a restaurant and to have dinner not drinks.
  5. Cocktails are next on the agenda. If he offers to buy you a drink, it's rude to turn him down. You don't have to be a lush, one drink will establish you are hospitable and not a prude. By the way, one drink will calm you both down. However, if you don't drink at all, that's okay. Just tell him upfront that you don't or can't drink. On the flip side, matchmaking etiquette says Don't Get Drunk!! This is not good.
  6. A quote from a matchmaking survey done goes like this..."we don't want the mother of our children spilling her wine and slurring her words on a first date."

That's it for part 1 of matchmaking tips for women, the date begins.
