Your thoughts are
filled with memories of your last failed dates? Embarrassed by your actions on
your last dates? Thinking of how to make that your approaching date perfect and
successful? Worry not because this are part of life issues and not only one
person experience this.
Failed dates are tiring and embarrassing most
especially if it was all caused by you and the memories bring sadness.
when you're having series of unsuccessful dates, there are actually somethings you probably have been
doing wrong which must be made right. Below are few guidelines on how to get
your perfect first date to avoid common pitfalls.
ü Create a Strong first impression.
You know how quickly people form first impressions even with or without getting
to meet the person first. People tend to quickly make an opinion about you
mostly based on your appearance.
Truth
is for a person you are meeting for the first time, you wouldn’t know the exact
dress taste of the person. This is where your simplicity should come in owing
to the fact that you should know the particular type of clothes to wear to a
particular place depending on your place of meeting.
I’m
sure you wouldn’t wear a dinner dress to a beach or a shorts to a dinner. Would
you?
Wear
something you can freely walk in, be on time and don’t drink or eat too much...…not
to forget, wear that your killer smile, it’s powerful!
ü Minimize your anxiety. First
dates always comes with anxiety but be quick to minimize it. Dating in this
century sometimes feels like a competition but cut this off as this might ruin
your game. Anxiety can make you break conversation and makes you look like a lost soul. Eliminate
all forms of stress and make your partner feel comfortable around you.
ü Make use of your prepared first date
topics. First thing you should have done before leaving the
house is to prepare your first date topics even interviews are been prepare
for. But, don’t treat your first date as an interview though. Just draw a list
of what you could prolly talk about and some few questions you want to ask or
you could be asked and possible responses you could give. This will help
conversations. During your time of texting, you should have been able to
determine your partner’s conversation interests, this should be among your date
topics.
ü Listen as much as you speak. One
recipe for a failed date is leaving your partner to do all the talking while
you listen or leaving your partner to do the listening while you talk. It’s quite
common for the female gender to want to do all the talking but be careful as
this might be your partners turnoff.
The
thing is listen carefully and respond appropriately.
ü Be real! It’s
quite difficult to see people who are real on first meet. But then, dating
should not be a winner or loser game. Let your real personality shine through you
as the purpose of dating is to find someone who you could be happy with,
someone who cares about you and you both can connect.
You
felt a connection? Don’t end it there. Why don’t you bring your successful date
to the next level by arranging a next meet!
You
or your partner could bring this up. Don’t forget to text him/her about the
nice time you had together.
Fact
is if you go into your first date with the above recipe and confidence. you just
nailed a successful first date. Congratulations.
