Three First Date DOs and DON’Ts

First dates can be very awkward if you do or say the wrong thing.  So, here at the Taco, we decided to use a fairly shitty animation program to show you what to do, and not to do, on a first date.
 
Tip #1Share A Personal Anecdote With Your Date: Sharing personal stories can let your date know a lot about you, without you just rattling off facts about yourself.  But it’s important to share an appropriate story.
 
RIGHT WAY
 
 
 
WRONG WAY
 
 
See, two mistakes were made here.  Although he decided to share a personal anecdote, he shared one that was far too personal, which sets an awkward tone for the date.  Then, once he realized he had gone too far, he attempted to go into further detail, which only brought his story more to life.  Mistakes happen, just keep moving forward!
 
Tip #2. Complimenting Your Date:  Giving your date a compliment about their appearance, upon meeting them, is a nice way to make them feel at ease.  
 
RIGHT WAY
 
 
WRONG WAY
 
 
See, even though she meant her compliment, the way in which it was phrased, and the choice of compliment, upset the young man she was dating.  Be sure to not touch upon subjects that could be construed as offensive.
 
 

 
Tip #3.  Find a Shared Common Interest with Your Date: It’s important to establish some commonality with your date. This will give you both something to talk about, and will help you to relate to one another on a more personal level. Take the time to find something that you’re both interested in, or that both of you can relate to.
 
 
RIGHT WAY
 
 
Here she finds something that she and her date both enjoy, and share as a common interest.  This is a great way to get off on the right foot.
 
WRONG WAY
