How to
Impress Your Date on the First DateBy:

Do you still recall
the time your first date turned out a disaster? How about the second
date or maybe the third one? You underwent several first dates with
so many people but they don't call you after that first night out.
Now, you can stop moping in your room worrying that you'll end up as
a spinster or a bachelor. There are many ways on how to keep your
date hooked up on you. Below are just some of the things to keep in
mind to let that phone ring right after the first rendezvous.
First Date Advice
1. Dress for Comfort. The first rule when going out on a date,
especially for first timers, is being comfortable. Start off with
your dress. Even if it is better to create a good impression on your
date by slipping into your slick black dress and stilettos, you
won't earn a good mark if you keep on checking out your behind for
possible panty lines. Dress for comfort and not just for a good
impression. If you really find it awkward to put on something girly
from the usual tees and sneakers you wear everyday, forget about the
pointy shoes and opt for a flat pair of sandals or shoes for a
stylish effect sans the pain in the legs. Before anything else,
consider the place where you will be going. It is safer to ask your
date where he plans to take you. You wouldn't want to be wearing a
chic dress just to watch her favorite basketball game in a stadium,
right?
2. Watch Your Manners. There is nothing more disgusting than the
sight of your date stuffing food in his mouth one after the other.
One major turn off is also a quick case of make up and lipstick
retouch in the table. It's not a crime to excuse yourself for a
while to go the powder room and do your deed. It isn't that you need
to act like a princess when dining out with your date; just be
conscious enough to know the do's and don'ts. Laughing your heart
out when your date tells something which you find really funny is
alright, but not to the point of spewing your food all over the
table, more so on your date. Be natural, but be refined.
How
NOT to behave on a first date!
3. Be
Interactive. Bear in mind that the first date is always the initial
step in getting to know each other so grab all the opportunity you
have to know the other person. Don't just sit there staring at your
date the whole evening pretending to listen while you stifle a yawn.
Talk. There are no rules or standard topics to talk about on a first
date. Topics like embarrassing experience during your grade school
or how miserable you were when your cat died are alright as long as
you see that your date is interested and doesn't feel awkward with
the topic. Seeing that you can talk anything under the sun without
being a show off gives an impression that you are a spontaneous
person, a plus factor.
4. Have Some Sense of Humor. There was never a study that humor
kills so why stop the jokes? Just remember to keep it clean. Keep
the ambiance light as much as possible to avoid tension in the air.
The only way to avert the anxieties is to let out a few laughs by
telling a funny story. Nevertheless, if you are not a born comedian,
laughing to some of his jokes and funny stories usually do the
trick. Guys love it when you laugh at their jokes.
5. Be Yourself. The top secret to making people like you is to show
them the real you. Your date may find your boyish antics weird but
he may find it cute thinking that you're a cowboy who can ride with
his jokes, activities and someone he can tag along with the guys
later.
6. Relax. Butterflies in the stomach, mice running in your heart and
the nauseous feeling are normal when going on a first date with
someone. However, if you do not loosen up, the worse case that could
happen is you won't be able to say any sane thing to your date.
Relax and remind yourself that you are on a date to enjoy, not to be
stressed.
7. Be Appreciative. Before the night ends, take time to thank your
date for spending time with you. You don't have fret, a kiss on a
first date is not a must. On the other hand, if you really enjoyed
the evening, a peck on the cheek is just fine to show your
appreciation followed up by a short text message or phone call later
to thank him again for the wonderful night.
