women can be an intimidating adventure but being prepared can take the edge off
the situation and open up doors. Using an ice breaker may work, but you need to
plan ahead how your make yourapproached. Here are some ideas to make it easier: |
 |
First Impressions - Body Language
No
matter what words you choose to say, if your body language says 'I'm bored', 'it's
all about me' or any other negative, self-serving emotion, you'll strike out in
making a great first impression.
- It takes little effort but can bring
the biggest results - A SMILE!
- Be courteous and attentive
- Dress
for the occasion. A clean, put-together appearance is a turn-on.
- Make
a lot of eye contact.
- Be positive, open and confident
Choose
your opening line carefully. The best ice breakers are usually the simplest
and personalized. Avoid using a standard line like the rest of the guys; it shows
a lack of effort and imagination. Everyone loves to be noticed. Pay close attention
to details, such as the color of her blouse, and compliment her on it. Choose
an ice breaker or opening line that includes a keen observation. It will go a
long way in making a great first impression.
Using an immediate pet name
can bring a smile or frown, depending on the intention of the nickname you choose.
Making any sexual reference is definitely a no no! Many women may laugh but more
out of nervousness than any attraction to the man making the comment. Keep it
friendly. "Hey, Baby" is condescending but "How's it going beautiful?"
is sweetly complimentary.
Personal experiences are great ice breakers but
keep it short and open ended to encourage a response. "I heard this great
song on the radio today but I didn't hear the artist's name. Perhaps you know
it." Share the lyrics and see where it goes. Ask questions that require more
than a yes or no answer.
- Do you know anyone born on February 29?
-
Have you ever had a dog named Spot, Midnight, Lucky, or Shadow?
- Have
you ever won a prize?
- Which do you prefer - winter or summer?
Be
your unique self! Women can spot a fake a mile away. You have characteristics
that make you one-of-a-kind and women love that. Embrace your individuality and
let it shine. Your great qualities will show through when you relax and can be
yourself. The old saying "Actions speak louder than words." fits perfectly when
meeting women.
But be careful not to make yourself the focus of your conversation.
Bragging will get you nowhere. Women are not impressed with what you own, how
smart you are or all of your world adventures. They're interested in someone who
is confident, genuine, funny and able to put the focus on others.
Any questionable
gesture or inuendo could embarrass or be misconstrued as an inappropriate invitation.
If a woman is uncomfortable with you in public, your chances of having time alone
are pretty limited.
A confident man is an attractive man. Work to calm
your jittery nerves, remembering it's the difference between a 50% chance of meeting
your soul mate or 100% change of missing out because you lose the nerve to approach.{{/dating}}
