She said yes. Now what is the next step for the first date? As you prepare for the best Friday night’s date, here are just a few tips to help prepare for and make the first date a success.
10 first date tips just for men:
1. Plan it out. Have answers for when and where the date will be. Picking locations with a comfortable atmosphere and conducive to conversation is recommended. Movie dates are a popular choice, but for a first date, avoid the big screen as the focus will be the movie and not on getting to know you’re date. Does the thought of gazing at the beautiful date from across a table on a first date seem intimidating? Choosing an interactive date is a wise first date choice.. Even if one finds they do not have nothing in common with their date, at least a good laugh can come out of the poor mini-golf skills.
2. Always pay. Even if the date offers to pay, be old fashioned and pay for the date — especially if the date was initiated by the man. As the relationship progresses, the couple can figure out how to cover or split bills for the future dates. But for the first dates, picking up the check for the date is recommended.
3. Be confident. She already said yes which shows she wants to be there. Women find confidence attractive and will increase the chances of future dates.
4. Dress for success. One doesnt need to wear a suit and tie to the local sports pub, but it wouldn’t hurt to brush the teeth and hair in addition to putting on a shirt that doesn’t look like it was slept in.
5. Be on time. Even if she is late, be gracious and patient if she’s fashionably late. Chances are she doesn’t want to show up too early or before you get there.
6. Be attentive. Ask the questions that focus on the date. Listen, respond and interact. Smile and act interested.
7. Use compliments appropriately. She likely put a lot of effort into her look just for the date and to impress the man she is meeting, so offering a compliment or two will impress the date. Avoid never-ending lists of praise is recommended — it can be a little overwhelming. Avoid comments that sound too sexual, for example, “beautiful” is better than “smokin’.”
8. Chivalry is not dead. Sure, she’s an independent woman but that doesn’t mean the door shouldn’t be opened her.
9. Say goodnight. Don’t let the evening fizzle to an end. Be intentional with the goodbye, and initiate the goobye with a handshake, hug, or kiss. Leaving her standing there in awkwardness will not lead to a second date.
10. Follow up.Three-day rules do not work. If you had a great time, contact the date the next day.
