Here are some basic first date rules that all daters should abide by.

We’ve all heard the warnings and they’re pretty much true - for the most part.

Here’s are a few never do on a first date rules and suggestions:

• Never meet at a quiet remote destination.
• Never meet at a place where it’s so formal and stuffy, you cannot be yourself.
• Never have the other person pick you up.
• Never give out your address!
• Never introduce your first date to your family.
• Never bring your first date to a family function.
• Never bring your first date to a work function or event.
• Never allow your first date to pay for everything - they will assume you owe them.
• Never do a dinner or something that requires you stay for a long period of time.
• Never go hiking! You don’t know this person even if you exchange a few emails and phone conversations.
• Never go anywhere where you depend on that person to take you home or get you out of there.
• Never agree to sleep over ever if you go for a coffee afterward.
• Never ever ever ever assume your first date is the same charming person they were over email and on the phone.
• Never make any assumptions and just try to go with the flow.
