What to do and what not to do on the first date
Over time, we all had a first meeting where things didn’t go in the right direction we imagined, either it didn’t ring or the relationship didn’t work out.
For your next first-date to be a success, it’s a good idea to keep in mind that the first impression matters! Why? Because once the perception is formed, whether it is a wrong one or “he read you” at first, it is difficult to change perceptions.
Here are some tips on how to make sure you’re interested:
1. Feel good in your clothes, it matters!
Don’t overdo it! Take into account the location where you are going to see yourself, the weather outside and the time. Then pay attention to the details! Wear appropriate clothing, but in which you feel good and comfortable.
Nails should always look clean and tidy. You eat with your hands, you drink, you gesture without wanting to when you speak. A person’s hands inadvertently transmit a lot of information about it.
Very important: don’t forget the perfume! A person’s scent says a lot about his personality.
2. Don’t be late.
Don’t blame the traffic or the boss who detained you at the office because it won’t work anyway. Think about the videos circulating on the internet about people who are late for their first date. They all have one thing in common: the fact that the other person gets angry at the top waiting!
3. Try to strike up a conversation, not a monologue.
Don’t ask too many questions because you risk turning the meeting into an interrogation. Let him talk about the things he likes. Identify common passions, mention them and you will be able to do future activities together. In turn, let the other person discover you, don’t turn the conversation into a monologue. Naturalness, joviality and self-confidence are your strengths.
4. Be friendly.
No one likes an overly pretentious or fussy person. Try not to criticize too much the waiter, the food served or other people from the place, etc. By not giving too much importance to any unpleasant aspects around you, you will show each other that you liked the company.
5. Talk about anything, almost
Talk about everything, including sex, even with someone you just met, but keep the discussion to the limit of decency.
But avoid talking about the other person’s past relationships as much as possible unless the discussion naturally goes in that direction. And even in this situation, do not insist!
6. Show that you enjoyed the company.
Once you get home, give a short message thanking for the evening. Clearly understanding the hidden message: the fact that you enjoyed the evening and that you would like to meet again. If you want to see each other again, your should lunch a second invitation to the city. You could even take in the consideration a passion, a favorite location you talked about, and you can make your strategy based on that.
