In Nairobi, sometimes it is very difficult to get time to mingle and find a partner.
This means that if you are dating, you need to ensure that the process runs according to the books of dating.
The following are the things you should never try to do during the phase of knowing each other.
1. The first date should be light
On the first date, try to keep it light in your conversation.
Do not be quick to pour out deeply emotional stuff about yourself.
2. Don't rush to fill the silence with crap
There is no rule that says you need to be speaking through out. If you are both silent, it means the crime is on both of you. Do not assassinate your character by bringing up things you have not thought through well.
3. Don't mention your ex
Okay, we know you have met your perfect. It is however not the wisest thing to begin telling them how your ex was bad in this and that. Keep that to yourself.
4. Have time
Do not rush your relationship. If it has to get intimate, give intimacy time. Do not board the matatu of relationships today and the next thing is that you are asking for a bed date. Big no.
5. Understand your partner
If you have been getting in and out of relationships, maybe the problem is with you. Try to take time to understand what your partner likes and what they don't like. When you deal blindly with them, chances are that you are going to offend them along the way and end up breaking up.
