Dating and Courtship are one of the biggest privileges we people of this century have. During our parent's days marriage was planned and getting to 'know each other' was experienced inside the marriage. Nevertheless, these planned marriages lasted until death did their part.

I thank God and the evolving world for the opportunity to make our own choices when choosing a spouse. Dating is supposed to be fun and enjoyable. To those who happen to meet online accidentally or on social media platforms, it is important that when you finally meet face to face you have fun and enjoy each other's company.

As you prepare and while you are on the date I want to share some tips that will make you enjoy your first date and feel happy even after the date is over. Whether the relationship will proceed to a second date or end after the first date one must enjoy thus leaving no room for regrets.

Meet in a public place. The person may not necessarily be a knife murderer, but it will be much easier to relax and also to ward off any unwanted sexual advances if the two of you meet in public.

Tell a friend or family member. When going for the first date inform a close relative that is a parent, sibling, cousin, or your best friend about where you are going and if possible a photo or telephone number of the person you are going on a date with.

Use your own transportation. Do not allow your date to pick you up as this will leave you at the mercy of a total stranger who may end up being a sycophant. If you don't have your own car, pick a meeting place you can easily get to on foot or by taxi. 

Bring money with you. Even if you are a woman you need to be prepared to carry your own cash in case you are required to foot your own bill. It is normal for men to pay bills during dates, and some women will volunteer to foot the bill if they've asked a man out.

Others believe "every person for themselves on the first date since neither party really knows each other yet. You might not know what type you are going out on a date with, so make sure you have some cash or M-Pesa just in case.

Pay Attention to Hygiene. Don't let your first date attire ruin your chances for a second date. What you wear is the perfect opportunity to present who you are before you say a word. Do not show up in dirty clothes, with unbrushed hair, or reeking of alcohol or body odor. In a scenario where you are working in a messy place like a garage or the store isn't enough of an excuse to show up looking unkempt. Not only will you have little chance at a second date, but you may also be made fun of on the date.

Just Be You. Be yourself, this will help you relax and it will be easy for you to bond with your date. Turning yourself into something you aren't will make you tell lots of lies on the date. Be polite even if your date doesn't look or behave like what you expected.

Getting mad and walking out is acceptable if you expected to see a woman and a man show up, or if your date is extremely rude and ill-mannered. However, do not be annoyed about little things.

Thank your date for a good time. One of the worst things you can experience after a date is being left hanging, not knowing whether the date was good or if the other person will ever talk to you again. You have to avoid doing that or suddenly going mute as you really do not know when or where you will come across them next.

Even if you are not interested in another rendezvous, call or text your date a 'thank you' the next day. If you decline a requested second date, they may get annoyed at first, but eventually, they'll be glad you were upfront with them.
