San Diego, CA (PRWEB) August 20, 2005 -- According to Its Just Lunch, the premier dating service for busy professionals, with over 80 locations worldwide, these are the top ten must knows for first dates based on a survey on 7,814 singles.

1.    If youre a picky eater...order something you know youll like. Sending back food or modifying something is obnoxious.

2.    Talking about how great you are is super...for a job interview. Ask questions, but stay away from salary, weight and exs.

3.    Be kind to your waiter or waitress. Be generous and add at least a 20% tip.

4.    Chewing gum may be great for fresh breath-but the smacking will pop the flow of any good conversation, so dont blow it. Have a Tic Tac instead.

5.    Create a business card just for your social life-its a great way to express your creativity without giving out all of your professional information.

6.    Most definitely turn your cell phone ringer off. They came to talk to you, not to listen to you talk to someone else.

7.    Ailments and current health issues should be saved for a later date.

8.    Everyone seems so busy these days, but be careful. You may seem so busy that the other person thinks you have no time for a relationship.

9.    Leave work at work.

10.    Actually be a good listener. If youre doing all the talking, youre not on a date; youre on stage giving a speech.
