A major come-back in the dating scene is like entering an arena packed with gladiators. Being with these “hailed people” will make you look like a kid who does know nothing – it’s wrong. Being in place with these people will make you feel you are one of them only if you allow yourself to be open and all.

Dating 10 years ago may be different from dating in 2010, but it’s still dating. The rules in past still apply in the present although there are quite some add-ons to it.

So, what do you need to do to make it through these treacherous waters and live to date another day?

Think like one of the big fish. This doesn’t mean to go in like some head bobbing, gold chain wearing, throwback to the disco era. You do need to have some degree of confidence and positive thinking to make it work well for you. Otherwise you’ll never get beyond asking her out.

Think positively. Put in our mind that you are going to achieve what you want to achieve – getting that successful first date. Although we really don’t know what will happen after asking someone out on a date, positive thinking will help ease anxiousness. But be sure to use that optimism in a positive way.

Forget about your ex, don’t allow yourself to be dominated by his memories. We don’t bring our exes with us purposely on a date, but we often do it unconsciously by staying fearful, pessimist, and low- esteemed. A new date is a fresh start, so might as well be fresh emotionally and mentally.

Remember, she is a different person so don’t think that she will do the same thing your ex did to you. Stay away from the memories of your ex. Focus on this new girl you are dating and try to work things out to resolve the holding-on-to-the-past issue.

Be well-prepared, be attractive. Though you’re not used to this notion, making some special effort to look good on the first date is exemplary. Feeling good about yourself will bring out your confidence and out-shadow your flaws and fears. Enjoying that good looks of yours with added confidence will help you forget your downside even for a while.

The main idea to all of these? Stop living in the past and look forward to a new beginning. Confidence is the key to a successful first date, and a successful first date is a promise to a blooming relationship.
