The Top Ten Thing For Men on a First Date - If You Want There to Be a Second Date
A list of the top ten “must do” things for a man to do on a first date, so that there will be a second date. Some of these things may sound very basic but they are crucial to remember for that all important first date to go well.These are not in any order whatsoever, as they are all important to impress the woman you are meeting, especially if you have only met her once, or more likely in this day and age, you have not actually physically met her at all.
1) DRESS APPROPRIATELY FOR THE DATE.- If you are going to the theater, or for a nice meal then wear a suit, with either an open neck shirt or a tie, depending on your own style. If you are wearing a plain colored suit then wear a striped or patterned shirt. If you are wearing a pin striped suit then wear a plain shirt. If the date is less formal and it’s just a casual drink or the cinema then go for nice jeans and either a nice shirt or a stylish t-shirt.
2) WEAR GOOD SHOES - Apart from possibly personal grooming, it’s the first thing a woman will look at. Good shoes are a must! Modern, trendy and clean. They don’t have to be designer, just look good. Whether it’s trainers, casual or formal, choose the right ones very carefully and make sure that they go with your outfit. Don’t, and i mean don’t ever wear training shoes with formal black trousers as you would be as well just not going on the date!
3) ALWAYS HAVE A SHOWER OR BATH BEFORE YOU GO ON THE DATE - Sounds really obvious doesn’t it? Well i have known some men not to bother, and that is just a no no believe me! Don’t forget to wash your hair as well, even if you washed it that morning, WASH IT AGAIN!
4) PERSONAL GROOMING - Clean nails, clean shaved, brushed teeth are all essential to make a good impression
5) SMELL GOOD - Right guys, this is a must.You must never go out without putting on some deodorant and a nice aftershave but don’t overload it with the aftershave. If you smell better than her then you’ve got problems guys. Smell nice, but just enough for her to notice.
6) ALWAYS BE EARLY, TURN UP AT LEAST 15 MINUTES BEFORE THE ARRANGED TIME. It does not matter if she is late and in my experience that could be up to 30 minutes. That’s a woman’s prerogative, so be early guys it always impresses.
7) ALWAYS OFFER TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING - Oh yes i know it’s 2008, and a lot of women are earning more than men, but there is no way in this world that after the meal is finished that you should let the woman put her hand in her purse for any reason. It’s a first date and the man pays, simple guys, so please don’t embarrass yourselves by even considering anything other than paying the full amount. NO WOMAN LIKES A MEANIE.
DON’T TALK ABOUT YOURSELF ALL THE TIME - If a woman thinks that you are more interested in yourself than her, then forget it guys.Talk to her, find out what she likes. Find some common ground and don’t bore her with your big stamp collection or the latest computer components you have downloaded for your PC. She wont be interested, so instead, find out where she likes to go on holiday, what music, films and food she likes.
9) DO NOT TALK ABOUT YOUR EX PARTNERS AND HOW BAD THEY WERE, IT WILL JUST MAKE YOU LOOK SAD AND RESENTFUL. ENOUGH SAID !
10) COMPLIMENT HER - compliment her hair, eyes, what she is wearing and how she looks in general. Don’t go overboard, and don’t do it all night or she will just think you are being a bit overbearing. One or two nice compliments during the night (but only if you are sincere and mean it) will go a long way to securing that second date.
