10 Important Dating Tips for Men
First Impression is the Best
Impression and trust me, there is no second chance to impress.
With that in mind, it is important to be fully prepared to make
a great impression on each date you go on. Here are 10 tips for
men on dating successfully and making an impression that will
last.
1. Take a Bath or Shower
One of the worst things you could do when going out on a date
(especially if it is your first date) is to turn up unshaven,
looking dirty and smelling. Personal grooming is as important as
the meet up itself. Women are the cleaner of the species and
will partly judge you on how hygienic you are. After all, you
would be appalled if she turned up for the date looking like a
mutt dog with tangled fur that hadn't bathed for days.
It doesn’t cost anything to take a bath and to make an effort to
look and smell nice. Remember, bad breath and body odor are an
instant turn off and she will assume that this is how you are
all the time even if you are just having a bad day. As a result,
she won’t be able to judge you beyond your appearance.
2. Arrive on Time
Whatever you do, don’t turn up late. You can be always late for
dates with your friends but never turn up late on your
first date. Turning up late will send out all the wrong
impressions. At first she may think she's been stood up, but
after arriving late her opinion will change to you being
unreliable or not caring enough about her to be on time. If you
are picking her up from her home then it is advisable to turn up
five minute before you are due. Any earlier and you might catch
her adjusting her makeup or still getting ready. Five minutes
early is the earliest you should arrive. But never be late.
3. Give Her a Thoughtful Gift
A woman feels special when the man she is with gives her a
thoughtful gift. What is a thoughtful gift? Well, you obvious
know some things about a woman before a first date that came
from phone conversations, emails, etc. Take what you know and
buy her an appropriate date gift. For example, let's say that
the woman really likes golf. There are companies that make
chocolate golf sets - a miniature chocolate club with a
chocolate tee and chocolate golf ball. This would make a great
first date gift. For a generic thoughtful gift, buy a chocolate
rose. That's always appropriate without being overboard.
4. Be a Gentleman
Hold the door open for her, let her walk through the doors
first, pull her chair, and be polite to her along with the
people around you. Women like to feel special and by treating
her like a lady she will think you are fantastic.
5. Compliment Her
The first thing to say to her is you look beautiful before you
even ask how she is. Keep up the compliments throughout your
date, but do not go over board (3-4 for the night should be more
than enough). A woman loves to be complimented, to feel
beautiful and to think that you are attracted to her. The more
sincere and observant your compliment, the bigger impact it will
have. But remember again not to go overboard. More than four
compliments may make you appear fake and not real.
6. Listen to Her and Ask Questions
Nobody wants to spend the whole night listening to someone talk
about themselves. But you do have to get to know each other. Ask
her questions, but more importantly listen to what she has to
say. A woman is attracted to a man who is genuinely interested
in hearing what she has to say. Spend a lot more time asking her
questions and letting her talk than talking yourself. By asking
questions, you are showing her that you are interested in her
conversation and she will open up to you more.
7. Prepare for the Conversation
The last thing you want is to be sitting at a meal with nothing
to talk about. Think about your date and what you would like to
know about her. You may think that it is easy to talk and that
you will not run out of questions to ask or that you will
automatically have the answers but until you are in the
situation, you have no idea what it will be like. Avoid talking
about past relationships or other women while on the date. Keep
your focus, attention, and conversation fully on her.
8. Pay for the Date
It's virtually always appropriate for a gentleman to offer to
pay for the date. When a man takes it upon himself to pay for
the date, he is displaying that old act of "chivalry" that is
missing from many men these days. However, some women feel more
comfortable going "dutch" and if she insists on this, then don't
resist. To avoid awkwardness, make sure you let her know before
the date that you plan on paying for it.
9. The Goodnight Kiss
Some women prefer not to kiss after a first date, while others
may be disappointed if the guy doesn't even try. There is no
easy answer to this question. Body language and chemistry
throughout the night is key in the decision you make. If it
feels right, then you may want to consider making the move. If
it doesn't feel right then a friendly hug may be more
appropriate.
10. I'll Call You
Only tell her that you will call her if you mean it and intend
on seeing her again. Do not, under any circumstances, tell her
you will call her if you are not interested and have no plans to
call her. In this case, when saying goodbye, just say, "It was
nice meeting you" and wish her luck. Or you could just say good
night, smile and walk a way. But if you do like her and are
interested, then you must let her know. |
