Wear beautiful dresses on the dates just as you have been wearing before and to display your sweet personality over the camera, but when you are out on a date, your dress codes are masks and gloves. Now fashion designers are also getting innovative with masks as a fashion accessory in many different varieties and styles that match your dress and outfit.

Once grandchildren ask their Grandmother, “Was it your arrange marriage or love marriage?” and she replied love marriage. Children asked how she wittingly narrated, “Baraat was standing in front of our house, and I was at the window, venturing to have a look at him. He also removed his Sehra a little and raised his head to see me, what happened then? Nazarene Milan, ankh on he ankhon mein Ishara ho gaya, aur pyar ho gaya”. So is it not a love marriage? So old conventions are good isn’t it! 

Do Not Travel In the Same Vehicle – Say No!

Now you have enjoyed the date, but want to get home. He would offer you a ride back home, but politely say no. After a wonderful evening, get on a romantic drive to have an amazing experience, but not this time. Do not venture to sit behind him on his bike or near him. If there is no option, try to take public conveyance or if you have your own, it’s the best. What a better way than to grab the bus or train ticket, and remember your past days.
