Dating is not always the easiest thing for someone to do, some are naturally able to date with ease, while others find it very difficult and become nervous even at the though of approaching the opposite sex with dating in mind. Sometimes it doesn't matter how comfortable you are with your date or how good you think you are when it comes to pleasing and impressing them, there are times when it just doesn't work out and we just have to live with that and try again until we find that special someone. The first and most important thing to remember when dating is to not give up. If you get blown off the first time, or the first few times, keep trying. Not with the same person of course, being blown off once by someone is acceptable, but more than once by the same person is just desperately pathetic. Move on and look at all the other beautiful people around you.
Don't only go for looks! Their partner's appearance is very important to some, but remember that it is not the looks that are going to make you happy. If you fancy someone, due to their kind ways and loving heart and they happen to be good-looking, think of it as a bonus! But if you find that they are not classified as good-looking in your books, that's fine too, as long as they treat you well and you see potential in pursuing a relationship with them. There is nothing you can do to make a relationship work, as much as you would like it to work, you may just not be made for each other. If this does happen, which it is very likely to, do not beat yourself up about it, just think of it as making the next relationship a challenge for you to prove to the person that you can be everything they want in a man or woman.
You have to be prepared to date. You have to decide what you are looking for in that special someone, commit yourself to dating. But also remember that you have to be equally fair to the other and treat them the way you would like to be treated. Don't expect too much from your partner in the beginning, get to know them more and see what they are really like. Take note of the activities they enjoy, their favorite foods and things like that. That way you will be able to surprise them and show them that you care and hopefully overtime they will do the same for you.
One of the most important factors when it comes to dating is to be confident! Not only confident that the relationship will work but also be confident about yourself. It is very difficult to compliment someone and make them feel good about themselves if they have a low self-esteem, sure, you can help them work on it but you have to have confidents in yourself too. That doesn't mean you should go over the top and constantly tell your partner how great you think you are, just be happy with yourself, that way you can appreciate what you have more and learn to respect it.
