Flirty tips – Every date can be a learning experience, even if it doesn’t turn out the way you’d hoped. The first ten minutes of a date often determine whether a second date is ever going to happen, and let’s face it: second dates are not the norm for many. That was definitely my story until I learned about (what I now call) “Date Waste.”

Date waste is when a date is a drag but has little to do with whether you are a potential match. It’s a drag simply because neither of you set the date up to succeed.
These aren’t the dates with jerks that you can’t wait to end. They are the ones that are just a little boring, lack sparks or just go nowhere. You can turn these into very positive experiences.
I see date waste all the time when I’m coaching, and I lived it for years. When I accepted that every date was part of the journey and not just a means to an end, my life changed.
Every date is an opportunity. You can talk to a nice person, learn something new, get much-needed practice and maybe connect with someone you want to know just a little better. It doesn’t have to be “Oh, he’s The One!” or nothing.
Here are nine things you can do in the first ten minutes of each date to make it a positive experience and begin to eliminate date waste from your life:
1. Go in with the “I hope I like him” attitude.
We usually approach meeting men with the “I hope he likes me” feeling. Start with whether he seems to be someone you like. This stops you from trying to read his mind and focuses you on what really counts: how you feel being with him.
