Whether you go out for coffee or to dinner, the experience of a date allows you to become familiar with the object of your affections by witnessing their actions and reactions to you in a public setting. For example, if you are dinning at a restaurant and you notice how kind and polite your date is to the server, they have demonstrating their good manners. However, if your date is unnecessarily rude to the server, he or she might have anger management issues. While learning about your significant other through dating, beware of the behaviors and personality qualities that matter most to you. It is also important to keep dating etiquette in mind when building a relationship. First, always be polite and considerate to your date. If, for example, he or she is allergic to cigarette smoke, do not take them to a smoke-filled bar. Second, you should spend dates doing things which you will both enjoy, and hopefully be able to learn about one another in the process. Third, during conversation, encourage your date to share details about their life and ask friendly questions. Do not take date time as an opportunity to focus on only yourself, but also be careful not to make your date feel like they are being interrogated.
