To begin with, what’s a date? A date is an appointment to meet someone or go out with them, especially someone with whom you are having, or may soon have, a romantic relationship.
As a Christian, it should be clear enough to you that you should be having, or may soon have a romantic relationship with only a Christian.
Two, since a romantic date is usually male-initiated, this write-up may be focused majorly on ladies but the tips are still much applicable for guys.
Now these are the tips:
- Let your date venue be open, non-solitary and well-lighted. The chosen place should be a place that is comfortable for both of you and temptation-free.
- A date is for discussion and dinning. The former before the latter.
- Dress smartly and not seductively.
- That moment is not a moment to relay your date with what ex you did, house rent, family problems, work-related issues, etc. All those can wait.
- A date is between two adults. Therefore, don’t go with a friend.
- On the date table, avoid controversial topics like politics except you both mutually agreed to.
- Keep your phone in your purse/pocket. Let your date have your whole attention for that moment.
- I believe the initiator of the date should be the one to finance it. However, you are an adult, please add your widow’s mite.
- You too [as a lady] can initiate a date.
- Note that a date invite is not a moment to act like a hungry, ferocious lion. Therefore, eat from home, if you always fell hungry.
- Don’t pressure your partner. Rather make him/her comfortable
- If it is someone you are already in Courtship with, please do it periodically. It is a good avenue to create and strengthen friendliness.
- After the date, send a thank-you message expressing your appreciation for their company.
