| Hey,
guys! You'll never get a second chance to make a good first impression, especially
when you're looking for your soul mate. So don't waste your time, if you're not
willing to put in some effort. With that in mind, here are some tips to help you
make the right moves. |

Cleanliness and Hygiene
Women
are considered the more sensitive of the sexes and in more ways than just emotionally.
One of the biggest turn-offs for women is a smelly man. Some men think that an
unshaven, disheveled, grundgy appearance is sexy, but most men can't pull it off.
Take the time and effort to shower, shave and put on clean clothes. Finish off
with a toothbrush and a spray of aftershave and you're good to go. Keep in mind
how you would feel, if she turned up looking like a dog's best loved stuffed toy
- tangled fur, wet and smelly. Be on Time
Being late for
a first date sends a signal of unreliability. Even after your date realizes she
hasn't been stood up, she will wonder how much you really want to go out with
her with such a disrespectful gesture. It's not only a good idea to be on time
but even better to show up five or ten minutes early. Present a Small
Token
Women love gifts, especially gifts for no special occasion or
apparent reason. Although, the obvious choices are flowers or candy, you often
learn small details before your first date through phone conversations, mutual
friends, etc. Use that information to choose a gift that is more personal. For
example, look for something related to music if that is one of her interests.
Manners Have NOT Gone Out of Style
Women will always appreciate
a gentleman. Hold the door for her, pull out her chair, order and pour the wine.
A gentleman who treats a woman like a lady, makes her feel pampered and special
and she will find him fantastic. Pay Her Sincere Compliments
One
of the first things you should do is to pay her a sincere compliment. Tell her
how wonderful she looks, notice the color of her dress, etc. Compliments always
make people feel warm and fuzzy. Avoid using pick-up lines, cliques or going over-board.
Women can quickly spot a come-on or insincerity. Pay Close Attention
to Her
Be a good listener! No one enjoys an evening out listening to
one person gab on and on. Learning about each other requires give and take in
sharing about each other. Show an interest in her by asking questions. A woman
is attracted to a man who is genuinely interested in hearing what she has to say.
Pay for the Evening
Make it clear from the start that
you would like to pay for the date. If she insists on going 'dutch', don't resist.
Some women find it awkward to have you pay, but most appreciate the act of chivalry
it portrays. The Goodnight Kiss!
This is probably the
most difficult part of a first date - to kiss or not to kiss; and there is no
easy answer. Body language is the key to making the move or not. If it feels right,
then go for it. If you're not too sure, offer a friendly hug. A Second
Date?
Never tell a women that you'll call, if you really don't intend
to. Many men think they can just slide by with a bold-faced lie, but it's dishonest
and hurtful. When the evening is over, thank her for the nice time and how glad
you were to have met her. Or say goodnight, smile and walk way.
If you're
interested in going out again, don't hesitate to tell her why and suggest a specific
time, day and event for your next date. Never leave her waiting for your call.
Make plans at that moment.
