You're now ready to meet someone for a first date. You may have communicated at first with instant messaging, email and now you're talking on the phone. You may have only had one conversation and are ready to meet, or you may talked for weeks if not months, and decided you're comfortable enough now after reading their profile and conversing, that you would like to meet in person. Of course it's always important to meet in a safe place, where other people are present. I would advise never meeting at a persons home.
A first date can be fun, exhilarating or you can be downright nervous and anxiety ridden. It's always important to remember the person you're meeting can also be nervous and anxious. One good technique is to look into their eyes as you speak, as well as give your first date your undivided attention.
