First Date

Dos and Dont's

Alway be your best. Wear the best you have in your closet. Wear something you are comfortable in. Never wear anything that you are not comfortable with. You will be in enough of pressure to perform and the exitment to meet your date online is enough to keep you busy. Another goofup with an unfamiliar dress is not required for the day.

Carefully choose a meeting Place.

If the ball is in your court choose a place you are familiar with. It need not be very formal and expensive. Somewhere your are comfortble with the surroundings. This will give you an added confidence in meeting your dream date.

Be patient and give your partner time to get comfortable.

A lot of first dates go bad as the anxity in meeting new people makes you do stupid things. You need to understand that the date is as important for your partner as it is for you.

Just relax and let things follow.

Keep your language and approach positive. This is not the time to vent your anger on some unknown stranger. Of course, there is never a time for that kind of behavior!

Don't rely on online dating as your sole source for meeting women. At times, online dating for men can be pretty frustrating. Be sure to check out singles dances, clubs and speed dating activities, so that you'll have other opportunities to meet women.

Find something nice. If it's painfully difficult to come up with something that you sincerely like about the person, you shouldn't be out with them in the first place.

Listen actively to what your date says.

Don't interrupt. While your date is talking, don't spend time thinking about what you're going to say when it's your turn.

Eye contact

Make eye contact, but please look your partner in the eye gently (no more than 2-4 seconds) and then glance away. Don’t stare – it’s a turn off.

Smile

It is contagious. It will make you so much more approachable. A smile lights up your face and draws people to you. You will be a people magnet.

Start a conversation: Make the first move:

Move closer to the person you want to meet. Say hello! The best opening line is saying hello. Talk about the surroundings, ask a question, ask for help, state an opinion. Use props: Never leave home without a prop. Props are natural conversation starters. They encourage conversation and others will be compelled to start talking to you. Great props include: dogs, kids, unusual jewelry, a fabulous scent, a sweatshirt with your favorite passion, interesting ties, hats, or an interesting book or newspaper.
