When you’re new to dating after a hiatus, it’s important to be punctual. If you plan to meet someone at a certain location, be early. Arriving late gives the person a bad first impression of you. If you think it’s going to take some extra time to get to where you’re going, leave early and sit in your car until it’s closer to the meeting time. You’ll be there in plenty of time to avoid traffic and bad directions. You’ll also be able to scope out the restaurant or movie theater for things like bathrooms. This takes some of the pressure off you and your date.
