Eight Tips For a Successful Date

Going on a first date can be tough on anyone. We all feel that we have to be cool or dashing in order to earn the rights to a second date. It is a lot of pressure during the first date that it sometimes blows up in our face. But there are those times when everything clicks and goes right. How do you make sure that the first date will always help you get that second date? Well here are 7 helpful tips that will help anyone make sure that they begin and end the date on the right foot.
1. Make a plan for the first date. Planning a date requires that you know something about the women that you want to court. Is she a vegetarian? What type of food does she like? Is she a romantic, or does she like hanging out at the ball park? Spending a little time on the phone with her, prior to the date, will not only show that you are organize, but that you have an active interest in her.
2. Personal Hygiene is King. Showing up on your date in ratty clothes smelling like a trash can says that you do not care about yourself. And how in the world could you care for her, if you have no pride your personal hygiene? So comb your hair, brush your teeth and dress appropriately for the date activities.
3. Flowers and Candy Never Hurt Anyone. Always show up with a small gift for her. This is a special occasion that will be remembered throughout your relationship. Show her that you want this to be a night to remember by showing up with flowers or candy.
4. Be Mindful of Your Manners. Show here that you have some educate and that you are educated. Nothing can kill the mood than watching someone chew there food with an open mouth, or get hostile with the parking attendant.
5. Make and Keep Eye Contact Throughout the Night. If she is talking about a boring topic, make sure that you keep that eye contact. Keeping eye contact during the conversation reiterates that you are truly interested in her and not what is on the television behind her.
6. Be an Active Participant in During the Date. Ask her questions. Get to know her likes and dislikes. What are her dreams and aspirations in both the near and long range future. Show here that you have an active interest in her and also communicate the dreams and aspirations that you have as well.
7. Friendly Silences and the Final Moment. Sit down with her in a silent moment shows that there is a trustful bond between the two of you. Some of the best moments in a date are the ones that have some quiet time.
8. The Final Moment. Look for the following signs to see if there is a possibility for that first kiss. Did she grab the breath mint after the meal? Did she brush or hold your hand during your conversation? If any of these is a yes, then lean in to give her a soft kiss and let it develop from there. And when you are done, do not forget to ask her for a second date.
