Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Hey. Welcome to Oasis Singles.
My name is pastor Dave, and I'm so
excited you're here. By the way, this site

and so forth, but it's also about life
advice, all things Christian single.
We have articles. We have interactive ways that
you could get in touch with each other,
and we also have podcasts

(00:22):
that are all about the Christian life.
I hope you enjoy our site, and I
hope you enjoy the podcast you're about to
visit right now. God bless.
Hey. Need a brush up on first date
do's and don'ts?
Going on your first date can be very
exciting, but a little scary at the same

(00:43):
time. Let's face it. The primary purpose of
a first date is to assess whether there
is enough chemistry to spend even more time
together. There are a number of first date
do's and don'ts questions to consider.
For example, what will you do on your
first day dates? But what good is it
if you spend three hours together but are
not even able to verbally communicate? Remember, great

(01:04):
conversation causes sparks to fly and is also
a way to ascertain where your date's heart
is. Thirdly, be totally centered on your date
even if there are numerous people nearby.
This means giving your utmost attention to them
by listening intently to their words and body
language. This will not only help you interpret
how the first date is going and when
to call it at night, but it will

(01:26):
also make the other person feel more confident
and relaxed. Number four, your dress should be
casual and attractive,
but not sexually provocative.
I'm sure you know what I mean here.
Number five, use humor and lightheartedness to relax
yourself and your date. Number six,
as Christian singles, it is totally appropriate and
attractive to end the evening holding hands in

(01:47):
prayer to the lord,
asking him to guide you in this dating
relationship. So what are some first date no
nos? Number one, never spend your first date
speaking about your previous relationships
or how horrible your ex is. No one
wants to hear that junk.
Nothing is a bigger turn off or more
boring than that.
Number two, don't monopolize the conversation by centering

(02:10):
too much on your own stories and needs.
Yeah. You're interesting,
but so is the other person.
Number three,
don't share your deepest, darkest secrets,
and everyone has some, believe me, on your
first date.
We're not saying not to be honest and
open. Just allow some time to get to
know each other before dumping on them that
you were in prison for twenty years. Finally,

(02:32):
don't overstay your birth date, but always leave
them wanting more.
Spending too much time on your birth date
is similar to a preacher who had a
great sermon for the first thirty minutes,
then he got cocky and stretched it out
to 60, and you know what happens after
that.
The lesson here, always leave your date wanting
more, not less.
In future articles, we'll be discussing places to

(02:54):
go on your first date, and if you
get that bar, your third date.
