Tips For Meeting Someone For the First Time

Tips For Meeting Someone For the First Time: By Lizzie Ducking- Meeting someone new for the first time can be a nervous event especially if it is on a date. All sorts of thoughts can enter our mind and if we would dwell on it most likely, the meeting would be ruined before it begun.

Here are a few tips that might be helpful in regards to meeting someone for the first time.

Be yourself: this is extremely important because when that Person first meets us, he will expect us to be like that all of the time. Be as natural as possible, speak normally, laugh naturally, walk naturally, and do what we would normally do. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes in order to be relaxed. If we are nervous, let the Person know it so if we blunder something he would regard it as being nervous and both can get a laugh out of it. Do not try to seem perfect, no one is and if the meeting develop into something more, he will learn our faults anyway so do not pretend to be perfect.

Be honest with him or her: I am not saying to expose all of our faults. I am saying to let him or her know our values, the things that are important to us. Also, tell what we do not like. If we do not like dogs, tell him that. Do not pretend to like them because he says he likes dogs, the truth will evidently come out. When a Person learns that we have lied their faith and trust in us will diminish so speak the truth and be as honest as we can.

Listen to what he say, do not be caught up in the way he look: I have a friend and he told me years ago that a Person would tell you about themselves in the first five minutes of their conversation. In that short period, you will learn what you really need to know about him but if we are paying attention to the way they look, we will miss it. This is very true, I learned it from a relationship I once had, this man told me that he had a black heart but I was too busy admiring the way he looked that I did not pay attention to what he said, needless to say, I paid for it. So listen more and look less because it could prevent a disastrous relationship.

If we are on a date and we realize that we do not like the Person we should tell him in a nice way. We should never lead a Person on by playing with his emotions. We would not want him to do it to us so we should not do it to him.

A Person will form his own opinion about us so we should not put on special airs just relax as much as possible, be courteous, and do not allow our expectation to be too high. That Person may not like us and if he does not, it will not hurt us so badly. In the event that he does not like us, do not despair and begin to think that something is wrong with us. We might be wrong for that Person but we are beautiful because God created us that way and our beauty will be seen by someone else so do not give up and do not allow yourself to develop a low self-esteem.
