"Honey, Honey, I have lots of money" is all fine, but do you know the basics of what to say, what not to say on a date? If relationships have to be meaningful then understand certain fundas before you venture out into the unknown.

Dating is all about being comfortable with each other. If you stink like a mobile garbage dump, that's not making progress. Bathe and brush your teeth. Smell good. You never know, you might get a chance to kiss on your first date. If your breath smells like it can peel off paint nothing can get more complex than that.

Dress decently. Don't get too flashy or look like as if you live in a nudist colony. Clothes you wear make quite an impression. Not just with your partner, but with other people around. "What a lovely couple," - that's the kind of comments one should draw. Even simple dressing can still make a woman look sexy and not necessary to take the 'wear less bare more' approach.

Wherever you go on your date, always make each other feel good. Laugh, joke, discuss and be a good listener to each other's points of view. Take the romantic route, talk softly, and say nice things without making it too obvious. Whatever happens, don't wipe that smile off your face. Let it show that you are enjoying yourself and you like the company. Sure, you might get the chance to hold hands, especially if you are watching a movie. Invariably it's the man who'll make the first move and if she doesn't object, it's a clear sign she likes you. Get closer and if you can, put your arms around her. So far so good. If you try to kiss her you might encounter resistance, especially if this is your first time out with her.

Where to take your date? Seems like a tough decision to make but in actual fact, it's quite simple. Movies, lunch or dinner, walks in the park, musical concerts, picnics, meeting in the public library, partying, etc are various dating options available. Mind you, these options are good starting points for even those who want a roll in hay ASAP.

It's interesting to note that amongst the newer generation, dating has different connotations. They dislike talking of past relationships. They want to get down with the business at hand and progress from then on. The last thing to do is to narrate sob stories all evening. It'll help you to know you are on a date and not at a funeral service.
