Dating tips for women
What can you do to impress your date? How can you win the
heart of the guy of your dreams?
You're getting ready for your first date with a guy. You desperately want him
to be impressed by you but what can you do to make her feel that you are the
girl for him? OK, you can't beat fate but you can go a long way towards
stacking the odds in your favour. Here are some simple ideas and observations.
We hope you find our dating tips helpful.
- If he's worth meeting, he's worth dressing up for. Put on something smart
which says who you are and is neither overly-conservative nor too revealing.
- When you first meet him, immediately make eye contact with him and give him
a warm and welcoming smile.
- Let him 'treat you like a lady'. If he doesn't seem able to do this nor
understand why it's appropriate then dump him. If he does then no matter what
else happens appreciate that he has made the effort and deserves treating
accordingly.
- Don't be afraid to grasp the nettle when it comes down to paying. Offer to
pay half and, if that is inappropriate or unacceptable, then make sure you pay
for the tickets, drinks, ice-creams or something during the date. This will
make you feel less obligated to him and also demonstrate that you are an
independent spirit.
- If he has complimented you, pay him one in return. Saying he has nice eyes,
you like his suit or remarking favourably on his after-shave are all harmless
and should be well received.
- Avoid flirting with other men while you are on the date. No matter how
attractive they may be they are off-limits although you may want to make a
mental note to return and see if they are still there.
- Appear interested in his anecdotes and make intelligent comments. Do not
dominate the conversation with stories about yourself.
- You are not there to impress him, you are there to see if you both like
each other and if there is any attraction between you. With that in mind,
there is no sense in pretending to be someone else - just be yourself.
- Have a couple of funny anecdotes or jokes in mind in case the conversation
lapses. He may well be nervous and laughter is the best tonic for shyness.
- Discussing your ex-boyfriend is a no-no. Although virginity is a
much-devalued commodity, men still like to deceive themselves that they are
the first even if they are blatantly not. It's a harmless fantasy and indulge
him by keeping off the subject unless he asks you in which case don't dwell on
it.
- Confidence and self-assuredness are incredibly sexy. Be yourself and
believe in that. If it is not enough then you just aren't suited for each
other.
- Never lead a man on - it is not funny and is unsettling for him. It is also
dangerous and immature for you. Don't kiss him 'goodbye' unless you mean to
see him again or, if the act seems expected, do it demurely on his cheek being
careful not to press your bust against him. If you are not planning on seeing
each other again, a handshake is far more appropriate.
Good luck with your dating. We hope you found our dating tips for women
