Some Don'ts for Dating



Dating is about getting to know someone. It is therefore a process about
exploration and discovery. But common sense and the norms of society dictate that there
are certain things you can and can't do, or that you should and shouldn't do.


Among the first recommended don't is blabbing at work about someone who you
are dating. This doesn't mean that you can't talk about the person to a few of your
colleagues at work or to the person who sits beside you or in a neighboring cubicle. It
may be unavoidable to not mention your date especially after a weekend when everyone
usually starts off the work week by asking, "so, how was your weekend?" If you went out
on a date during the weekend, well, it's fine to mention it.


What blabbing means, however, is that you shouldn't constantly, seemingly in a
never ending way, be talking about your dating experience or your date to just about
anyone and everyone. Your work colleagues shouldn't have the feeling that as soon as
you open your mouth they will have to be subjected to hearing about what you did and
where you went on your latest date, and what you think about the person.


It's even worse if the person whom you are dating is someone at work or within
the same company that you work. Even if that person is in a different department or at a
different site, it's best to maintain a high level of privacy about your dating relationship.
Otherwise it is sure to become known to everyone, because even if the person is at
another site, there is sure to be others who will have some contact with fellow workers at
that site.


While you also should not blab about date, you also shouldn't be telling everyone
about personal habits or ways of your date that you have learned about through seeing the
person and going out. Personal relationships are just what they are – personal. So if you
talk to just about anyone and tell them about the type of person your date is, tell them
things that are known only to you, then you are violating the personal aspect of the dating
relationship.


And just as important, or even more important, is disclosing private, personal information
about your date. This includes for example, health, financial or family-related
information that your date may have disclosed to you in confidence. And although some
personal information such as one's address, phone number and email address is partially
public, you also shouldn't give that information about your date to just anyone.


In relation to the person who you are dating, there also are things that will directly
affect the individual that you shouldn't do. You shouldn't post a picture of the person
anywhere on the Internet without their permission. You also shouldn't be inconsiderate
and do things like calling your date at anytime, such as extremely late at night and very
early in the morning. Night owl and early bird phone calls are very irritating and
annoying, unless the person is on an irregular schedule and again, you have been told
that's it okay to call at that time.


Another annoying thing that is not recommended is to be constantly bombarding
your date's email mailbox by sending Internet fwd. messages and Internet jokes,
humorous and other types of pictures, poems, letters of hope or of desperation with a
request to pass it on to as many people as possible.


Messages that keep getting forwarded via the Internet simply clog up mailboxes
and also carry the risk of having a destructive virus attached to them that can ruin your
computer's hard drive and all your files. There are some people who like getting these
messages. But again, unless your date has said he or she doesn't mind getting those
messages, you shouldn't pass them on.


The above-mentioned don'ts for dating should therefore be kept in mind. They
aren't difficult to observe and you'll find that following them likely will enhance your
dating experience and enrich the bond you are developing while dating.
