San Diego, CA (PRWEB) August 20, 2005 -- According to It’s Just Lunch, the
premier dating service for busy professionals, with over 80 locations worldwide,
these are the top ten must knows for first dates based on a survey on 7,814
singles.
1. If you’re a picky eater…order something you
know you’ll like. Sending back food or modifying something is
obnoxious.
2. Talking about how great you are is
super…for a job interview. Ask questions, but stay away from salary, weight and
ex’s.
3. Be kind to your waiter or waitress. Be
generous and add at least a 20% tip.
4. Chewing gum may
be great for fresh breath—but the smacking will pop the flow of any good
conversation, so don’t blow it. Have a Tic Tac
instead.
5. Create a business card just for your social
life—it’s a great way to express your creativity without giving out all of your
professional information.
6. Most definitely turn your
cell phone ringer off. They came to talk to you, not to listen to you talk to
someone else.
7. Ailments and current health issues
should be saved for a later date.
8. Everyone seems so
busy these days, but be careful. You may seem so busy that the other person
thinks you have no time for a relationship.
9. Leave
work at work.
10. Actually be a good listener. If
you’re doing all the talking, you’re not on a date; you’re on stage giving a
speech.
