Let’s face it dating is awkward.
Worst case scenario, they could be a racist, sexist, or bore you to tears.
Now you just have to hope that what they told you was genuine.
Anytime you do anything, you’re exhibiting what kind of person you are in the world.
Go into a first date being appreciative of this person coming out to meet you.
Give your date the same courtesy you would give to a new colleague or neighbor (viaBustle).
If they offer to pay for a meal or plan out the date, express your gratitude.
Perhaps they left work early or traveled to your town or neighborhood to make meeting easier.
Show that you are genuinely grateful for whatever they did to make the date pleasant.
If you don’t feel chemistry, it’s best to be gracious and always kind.
