Love In Action Schools

Anyone who’s ever been on the dating scene is extremely likely to have had drunken dating disaster at some point or another, and whether you’ve been the guilty party or your date has been the legless one, it can seriously put you off dating for life!

I think the reason why drunken dating disasters are so common is because dates- especially first dates and blind dates- can be so nerve wracking, so it can be really tempting to hit the bottle before you’ve even left the house.

Once you’ve had a really bad drunken dating experience though, you quickly learn your lesson and make every effort to make sure it never happens again.

If you’re sick and tired of going on dates in the usual bars and clubs, why not so things a bit differently next time round and think outside the box a little?

There are loads of more unusual date venues around that can help you to enjoy dates to remember- why not think about taking a trip to the zoo, having a picnic in the park or hiring out a boat and going for a row?

When you really think about it, the date options are endless, so next time you’re thinking about yet another drunken date, think again and try spicing things up a little!

Although it’s really important for anyone who you find yourself on a date with to have a decent personality, you do also need to be physically attracted to them.

OK, so your date doesn’t have to rival Brad Pitt or Megan Fox in the looks stakes, but if they’re facially challenged you’re not going to want to stick around for long are you?

On the other hand though, going on a date with someone who’s too good looking (or just plain fancies themself) can be just as bad. I mean, who wants to go on a dinner date with someone who’s constantly checking themselves out in the reflection of their knife?!

You just can’t win!!!

Going on a first date can be incredibly nerve wracking, and to banish these nerves, it can be very tempting to have a cheeky glass of wine before heading out of the house.

You have to be seriously careful about drinking before a date though, as turning up legless really isn’t a good look, and even if you do manage to get through the date, you’ll be very lucky to get a second one!

If you can handle your alcohol, you could be fine after just the one drink, although if you know that you’re a light weight you should probably steer clear altogether- it’s just not worth it!
