You\u2019ve heard the phrase \u2018be on your best behavior\u2019 and \u2018put your best foot forward\u2019 especially on a first date.<\/span><\/p>\n

You should make an extra effort on a first date but always be yourself. Never act like someone or something you\u2019re not.<\/p>\n

\"hero-guy\"<\/a>There\u2019s an old British show titled \u2018Keeping Up Appearances.\u2019 In this show, the main star is Hyacinth Bucket. She pronounces her last name as \u2018Bouquet\u2019 and loudly corrects anyone who pronounces it as Bucket. She\u2019s embarrassed by her family and is forever pretending to be something she\u2019s not. The results are sometimes quite embarrassing and painful for her.<\/p>\n

The worst thing you can do is present yourself as a man who enjoys one way of living when you don\u2019t. Presenting yourself as a pillar of perfection gets hard to maintain day in and day out. If you keep dating the same person, you\u2019ll eventually get tired of the fa\u00e7ade and when who you really are comes out, the woman you\u2019re dating will end up feeling disillusioned.<\/p>\n

You want to start out dating like you plan to end up. If you\u2019d like to have a dating relationship focused on a mutual relationship with the Lord, then start it out the right way.<\/p>\n

Read and study the Bible together. Begin and end your dates with prayer. Dating someone is more than simply looking for a woman you may have things in common with. It\u2019s more than seeking a companion. You want a woman that has a steady walk with God herself.<\/p>\n

You can be interested in what she has to say and interested in what she does without pretending you\u2019re a fan of the activity. You wouldn\u2019t expect her to pretend she\u2019s interested in football if she\u2019s not.<\/p>\n

Too many men believe that it\u2019s the common hobbies that cement relationships, but it\u2019s not. You can have common interests but not all of them have to be the same. Or even should be.<\/p>\n

Think about it. God created each one of us unique. The differences can actually add to a dating relationship so apart from an interest in things of God, don\u2019t write a woman off if you don\u2019t have other interests in common.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
