Australian
dating is easy, when you know what to do and say to
your prospective partner. Let AnotherFfriend teach you
the rules of dating in Australia (and no, this has nothing to do with sheep,
which is an old joke about New Zealand):
- According to over 97% of Australian singles surveyed (this
statistic is from a prominent Australian dating site), bad breath is a massive
turn-off. This can be easily rectified by brushing your teeth before that
crucial date, or chewing on a tasty piece of gum. Mouthwash, flossing; go the
whole nine yards! An inexpensive travel kit can be carried around with you from
date to date. Use this to ensure a decent kiss at the end of a date, and not
the dreaded pull-away.
- Bad manners come a very close
second to bad breath. Being a gentleman/lady (at least for the first two to
three dates) will show that you have a genuine interest in your partner that
extends far beyond physical attraction. When you are out on a date, rudeness to
those who are serving you will only cause to alienate your partner and they
will see this as how you may treat them in the future.
- Much like the Oscar-winning
film ‘The Hurt Locker’ (a film about a bomb-disposal squad in Iraq), your date
can be a potential minefield. Setting up a personal date is a scary affair,
nerve-wracking and intensely exciting all in one. Have you considered a
rendezvous dinner? This is a date that you both casually agree to show up on;
this will place less pressure on both parties and you are free to bring your
friends with you. More people, less pressure and more chances of success if
your date sees you as a social person.
- Running out of things to say
during a date is a major concern for most. Conversation needs to be
free-flowing, fun and flirty. This is easier said than done. As a bit of
advice, once you start discussing the weather, you know that the evening is
going downhill. Compliment your date in a friendly manner, discuss your
interests and calm your nerves with a glass of wine (but only one, and
preferably a light, white wine that does not stain the teeth).
