Offer assistance when necessary. If you see a woman in a wheelchair having trouble entering a building or negotiating steps. You'd like to help, but don't want to embarrass her. What should you do  

It's usually appropriate to lend a hand if someone is having obvious difficulty, but keep in mind that not everyone will be willing to accept your help. It's not much different than pulling over and offering assistance to a motorist with a flat tire. Unless the woman in the wheelchair is in danger, it isn't necessary to press the issue if they refuse your help. You did your part

4. Remember that we all have obstacles to overcome. No matter who we are, each of us has a weakness or challenge to face. How do you feel when you are treated differently for being bald, short, or heavyset? Like you, a disabled person would much rather be accepted for who they are, rather than be pitied or shunned because of a disability 

Meeting someone with a disability doesn't have to be an intimidating experience. Asking questions, offering assistance, and putting yourself in their shoes can go a long way toward recognizing them as people with normal thoughts and feelings who just happen to have a disability. Who knows? You might make some new friends in the process

Your "Date" has agreed to meet you and you set the place and the time, both of you will be feeling positive. You feel that have you already communicated with them in a good way and passed the first step

If you feel that you are very shy and find it very difficult to communicate with people face to face although you have been communicating for a while on the net or you dont know how to express yourself, it is advisable to register at some kind of "improve your communication" workshops, dont be embarrased as they are highly recommended by the experts and you can only gain better communication skills from these workshops

The first meeting will give both sides the chance to get to know the other. The first impression the other gets is  the most important one, because even if you are not aware of it the brain registers the first meeting and nearly never forgets that moment or in the very least special things that happened at it

The meeting place should be a place that you will both feel comfortable and where you can talk to each other without a lot of background noise.  A coffee bar or restaurant is the ideal place.  Pay attention to what the other side are saying and look at him or her directly into the eyes – it is best to sit opposite them, dont forget you are not at home so sit in a way that is comfortable for you but not too casual as also body language is also a vital part of the first impression

Make sure that the places you are taking your date are disabled friendly and have ramps and easy access for wheelchairs or guide dogs or whatever is necessary

The day before the date it is important to call the other side to check the meeting is still on.  Another important thing is not to be late so get ready for the date and set out earlier than you anticipated it is better to arrive early than to arrive late, however not too early you dont want to seem over keen

One of the most common reasons that people have difficulty making conversation with someone they don’t know very well is because they put too much pressure on themselves.

Many people think that whenever they meet someone new, they have to say something really interesting and brilliant, right from the beginning. Even before they know the other person very well

They think they have to really put up a great performance to impress the other person.

They don’t just let themselves just be ordinary, and talk about fairly ordinary things.

Here’s a very important lesson to learn about making conversation with people: Insisting to yourself that you have to be brilliant and dazzling in all your conversations will not win you new friends. It will not even improve your conversational performance.

When you think to yourself that you have to perform perfectly in all your conversations, you will actually make your performance worse! You will become too nervous and awkward, and you’ll be too focused on your own performance. You won’t be focused on getting to know the new person you’ve just met.

New people that you meet are not looking for brilliant conversation. What they are looking for is someone who will be comfortable to be with, and fun to talk to. But most of all they are looking for someone who seems interested in them!

For conversational success, it’s more important to be a good listener than to be a great talker.

When you are just starting out talking to a person, you can use your immediate surroundings or the weather as a basis for a few starting remarks

This can give you new interesting areas for both of you to discuss

What you wear, the clothes, shoes, glasses is set in the other persons mind when first seeing you, dress appropriately for a first date for example if you know you are only going to a coffee house then dont wear an evening dress or if you are going to a classy restaurant dont wear jeans.  – Wearing something comfortable yet appropriate is important, dont every overdress or for that matter underdress   And now all we have left to say is have a good luck 

If you want to know that person better, move on quickly to a slightly more personal level of discussion. Ask a few basic questions and offer a little bit of information about yourself, your likes or dislikes, or your opinion on some neutral topic. Notice whether the other person lights up with interest about any topics you mention.
