Did you finally score a date with someone after a stretch of being a professional at being single? Did you, at last, get done with double-tapping on all ‘Relate of you are single memes’ and now your browser history reads First Date Tips?
Well! Lucky for you, with us understanding the woman won’t need a thesis preparation and first date cold feet won’t feel like an internal war, IF only you keep the following in mind!
FETISH TO FAKE
Never, I repeat never is it a good idea to impersonate and act someone you are not. Being yourself and being comfortable about who you are and your skin is surely the new sexy. You would have a higher chance of fixing that second date and with ease, if you stay true to who you are.
PUNCTUAL PAUL
Men, probably do not understand the importance of being on time. Punctuality reflects that your date is actually in-fact important to you! You have taken out time to structure and fix this date and you aim to make the most out of it. All this could have a kick start only if you reach your venue a minimum of 10 minutes prior to the time fixed. That not just gives you time to soothe and relax your nerves but also get a familiarity with the ambiance, you look prepared and confident! However, in case of genuine unpreventable circumstances if you are running late, inform her instead of letting her constantly guess about your whereabouts.
DRESS YOUR BEST
You know your date will make her best appearance and put in the time to get herself ready, Why? Because she wants you to know she is a catch and you are lucky. Why not do the same? We all have known since we were kids the evergreen saying, Clothes Maketh A Man, They surely do to create a first and long-lasting impression too. Don’t overdress but don’t under-dress either, to make it look like you put in no efforts at all. Brush, Shower well, Do your beard and Hair and don something you are comfortable in and yet qualifies as a style statement without looking over the top.
WHERE TO SIR?
The most crucial part of planning about the date comes down to this, Where? We highly recommend following a pattern of a meal, followed by an activity. Not only does the combination give you enough time to talk but also understand your compatibility, maybe over a game of who beats the other at snooker! Taking your date to a fancy high-end place is no compulsion; however, we would suggest avoiding places for quick grabs like McDonald’s. Opt for smaller, quieter places where you can have an interaction with her.
DON’T GLOAT, DON’T BE A GOAT.
Do not make the entire conversation about your own self, about your achievements worse, material possessions. This is a chance to know your date better and communicate at a length where both of you can match, talk and listen too. Pay attention to what she says instead of seeming disinterested. Gloating yourself may earn you a compliment or two but not the next chance to take things ahead. Don’t be a goat and ‘meh’ your own self, the only Goat you want to strive for is being the Greatest Of All Time, at acing the First Date. This is one of the first date tips you should really keep in mind!
MANLY MANNERISMS
While pulling out a chair for her, getting her a bunch of flowers and complimenting her outfit checks in with all the boxes, make sure you do not overstep the line by trying too hard. Drop the, ‘I will pay, since I am the Man’ and underlying superior tone to it, don’t bombard her with stories of your ex or pry on getting to know about her past relationships. Avoid using and checking on your phone every 10 minutes. Don’t act too hard to be the nice guy, but don’t be a jerk too. We are sure you are a great guy, yourself, so just be You!
CARE TO COMMUNICATE
After seeing her off, ensure she has reached back safely. Text her and let her know you had a good time. Communication is the key here just as much, as it is with your HR. Good communication, better clarity, more expressive and increased bonding; they all fall in place seamlessly. Don’t wait for her to message or initiate a conversation all the time. Sometimes telling her she is on your mind and that you have been thinking about without making it creepy ofcourse, will put a smile on her face and a brownie point for you.
Well, implement these first date tips and you will be good to go! And, dress well.
