Discussion : 1st Impressions
Dear all
How is everybody? ;-) Since it has been quiet for the last few days, I like to try a discussion. I like to draw from your experiences where all the readers could share and learn from each other. All good and bad dating experiences are most welcome ya ;-P
The topic I would like to discuss is "First Impression". What do you do and how do you prepare yourself for this "First Date"? Do you go to pedicure and manicure? Will you bring a special gift along?
During the meeting, what will you discuss about? Do you talk about your work? Or you talk about your family or even your pets? How do you feel during the meeting?
After the meeting, when and how do you know you will meet them again? Do you call them, or you wait for them to call?
Share with us so we know how to prepare ourselves in our next upcoming Date ;-)

Doctor.. I think a lot of people may be shy to share some of this. Why don't you start by telling us some of your dating experiences?
For me, I could still remember how nervous I was on my first date. I brought this girl to this nice Japanese restaurant in Uptown (I think it's closed down now). But it was a disaster because I didn't know that she doesn't like the seaweed :'( I didn't bring a gift along. It was just our very first date.. and I don't think that it's appropriate for a gift.
During the dinner, I believe I did most of the talking. She's extremely quiet.. perhaps she's shy. Perhaps she's not interested. I tried to coach her to talk but it didn't go too well.
So how do I feel? I felt like a complete fool.
The very next day, I tried to salvage the situation by calling her again. She was friendly but it's obvious that she's not interested. Oh well.. maybe it is the Jap restaurant. Who knows.
Yeah.. I'd really love to hear Doctor Love's conquests... TELL TELL TELL!
Doktor.. are you trying to ignore our question? :D
Dear MGA
Calm down ya hehehe.
Doctor Love's first date was a complete disaster. I could not reveal much here because I need to maintain my secret identity :-P
Sorry to dissapoint you ya :-)
However, I did made a lot of preparations for the date. I went to bought some nice clothings and try to look as attractive as possible. And I always make sure I bring a simple gift for my blind date. I always bring 'chocolate' along. I think both sexes love chocolate ;-)
Other readers, do tell us yours and also give us some hints of To Do or Not To Do!
Thanks to religious-freak for making the first attempt! So next time we shall check what is our partner's liking for food ya!
Let's see.. I had had many dates and I personally feel that 1st impression is very important. I am sure the ladies will vouch for this.
Of course, I'd make sure I dress well and proper. No jeans and round neck T-shirts. I would also bring the girl to a really nice restaurant. What's important is that we have ample time to talk.. so the restaurant has to be the atmospheric and quiet type of restaurant where we could talk to find out about each other.
Normally, some couples will go for movies during their first dates. As for myself, I don't believe that we should go to movies. Years ago, I read in the papers that some people went for movies because they have nothing much to talk about during first dates and movies are a good place to escape.
For me, I'd rather much find out about each other than use a movie to mask the fact that we don't have much to talk. Movies can be a 2nd date thingy.
How do I feel during the meeting? Well it depends on the partner and the liking level I have on the girl. If I like her a lot, I tend to be very kan cheong (anxious). I'd try to please her by thinking of interesting things where we can talk about. Sometimes, I lost interest and at those moments I'd be bored.
Do I call them again after our first date? Definitely? I usually give us at least 3 dates to get to know each other before deciding.. That's how it is.
Heh heh.
1st impression, is to be yourself, but with the thought of going the extra mile to prepare for the date.
