Guys: How To Make A Good Impression On A First Date
Navigating the dating scene can be tricky at times and you might hesitate to date because of all the stress that sometimes comes with it. You want to put your best foot forward but also not come off too over-confident. Who knows, the person you go on a first date with could be the one so always take it seriously.
It’s important to be your best self and give it your all each time. As a guy, there’s a lot of pressure on you and on the line. Therefore, it’s wise to take the time to learn how to make a good impression on a first date and ensure the evening goes smoothly overall.
Show up on Time
It’s always in your best interest to show up on time to a first date and to be as prompt as possible. You certainly don’t want to be late and make her wait around. Make sure you’re ready to go early by leaving enough time to get ready and confirming your car is working and has plenty of gas. Plan ahead and consider investing in some car maintenance services in advance so that you don’t have any vehicle issues that may delay you further.
Smile & Be Confident & Friendly
Another way to make a good impression on a first date is to make sure you smile and come off as friendly and confident. You can do so by being aware of your facial expressions and body language. Dress to impress and groom yourself so that you feel great about the way you look. Introduce yourself right away and make the woman feel comfortable in your presence. Be confident but also mindful to not have your self-assurance rub off in the wrong way. Be willing to give having a possible connection an honest shot by being yourself and being authentic.
Have Conversation Starters Planned
While you don’t need to have a speech written out, you should have some conversation starters planned and ready to go, especially if you’re the shy type. It’s okay to have some breaks in the conversation between the two of you but you want to avoid long periods of awkward silence. Therefore, have some topics you can turn to and address if there’s a lull and you want to keep the flow of the first date going well and seamlessly. Remember to do your share of talking but not share too much or only talk about yourself. Also, be a good listener and attentive and present in the moment.
Plan A Fun Date
Most importantly, focus on what you’ll do on your date with the woman. Make a good impression on your initial meeting by planning a fun first date night for the two of you to enjoy. Share some details with her in advance so she knows what to expect and can dress for the occasion. Keep the first date night light-hearted and enjoyable so that neither of you feels too much pressure and you can both focus on getting to know one another better.
