What do I say on the phone when he rings the first time. Above all be friendly and courteous. Many men have great difficulty in making that first phone call so make it as easy as possible. Don't interrogate him and don't let him interrogate you. If he starts off by asking you personal questions, suggest you meet. Tell him you would prefer to discuss that sort of thing face to face.

What do I say when I telephone her for the first time? Be friendly and courteous. Don't interrogate her, the above applies. Arrange for a brief meeting on common ground that is not going to put either of you out. After the first meeting, should either of you feel the association is not worth pursuing, you will be thankful that you avoided wasting time. The first meeting hopefully should leave both parties wanting more.

How do I refuse his initial invitation? Firstly: Before you do, give him the benefit of the doubt. You can't really judge a person over the telephone. You never know, he might be perfect for your best friend or your sister. Everyone is valuable. You can't marry everyone you meet; he may share similar interests and could have the potential to be just right for joining you in pursuit of one of your interests or hobbies. Having many 'fotos' (friends-of-the-opposite-sex) gives one confidence and it's when one is confident that life's lucky breaks occur.

To answer the question: Be honest, don't lead him on with white lies, it leaves him with the impression that you are not a truthful person. Try, 'I am sure you will find someone far more suitable than me'. Thank you, but no thank you. I do hope you find someone special'.

Where should we go? First meeting places should be given careful consideration.
