Putting the Fun Back in Dating
While getting a first date with someone is a difficult task in and of itself, knowing what to do and how to handle yourself on a date is equally as important. Today, we’re going to go through some of the things you can do to make sure that the time you spend with your lady-friend is fun. More often than not, guys tend to mess things up on a first date because they’re too eager to know how the girl feels about them. However, you should remember that she’s decided to go on a date with you, so she must have some interest in seeing where things go, unless you’re nothing but a ‘foodie-call’.
Take Your Time
While you’re out on your first date, don’t treat it like it’s a race. It’s important that you create a no-pressure environment so that the girls you’re with doesn’t feel as though she’s being pressured into anything. Even though you’re probably hoping that you’ll get lucky on the first date, sex shouldn’t be an expectation. In fact, if all that’s on your mind is how quickly you can get laid, the girl you’re with will be sense the needy nature lurking within you. When it comes to men, the last thing women want is to be with someone who’s desperate which leads us to our next point.
We’re living in a time which people are always on their phone; funnily enough, it’s not uncommon for people to spend hours making plans on their phone to only do the same when they’re finally at the event they spent all that time planning. Turning your phone off is one of the easiest ways to make sure that nothing pulls your attention away from the person you’re with. In all honesty, you should request that your date do the same as there’s nothing more alienating than spending time with someone who refuses to acknowledge you’re there.
It’s no secret that guys tend to overthink things when spending time with a woman. So, rather than engaging and entertaining her mind, they resort to having conversations that revolve around some kind of fact-sharing. Instead, what you should do is add some humour to your performance; put yourself in the shoes of a storyteller and imagine how they’d share whatever it is you have to say.
Wanting to meet up with your date for a second or even third time is great and all but don’t make this a priority on your first date. If you come across too eager, your potential lover may find this off-putting. Rather than making plans for next week, enjoy living in the moment right.
Look and Feel Your Best
Even though looks aren’t everything, let’s be real, we like to look good and like to look at things that look good. So, when you’re going on a date, make the effort and show the person you’re meeting up with that you do care. You’ll be shocked to know just how many guys don’t think it’s worth putting effort into how they look on a first date. Now, feeling your best and most confident is something that’ll develop over time. Unfortunately, confidence isn’t something you can fake, at least not in the long-run. However, the more experience you have with dating, the faster your confidence levels will improve.
Be a Little Mysterious
When you’re getting to know someone, it can be very tempting to tell them every single detail about yourself. However, women don’t want to be told things about you, they’d rather be shown—over time. In fact, this is true for just about anybody. Just like in a good story, people like to have the truth/plot revealed to them over time. If you do this, you’ll be able to build tension, hopefully to a point in which you’ll both be tearing the clothes of each other’s back.
Have Fun Dating
As you can see, dating isn’t the hardest thing to do in the world, but it does require patience and a little know how. By following the simple steps listed above, you’ll be able to have more fun than ever before with the special lady in your life.
