Confidence is the first thing to remember. Nobody wants to date someone that looks like they are about to face the firing squad. You should walk into the date with your shoulders back and head held high. Smile as if you really mean it. Confidence doesn’t mean being the loudest in the room. It’s about feeling comfortable in your skin.
Let’s start a conversation. What do you do? This is probably the most used phrase ever. Try something unexpected or quirky instead. You can ask about their favorite childhood memories or the superpower that they would choose if given a choice. These questions can help you have more memorable and engaging conversations.
Listen more than you talk when it comes to conversations. No one wants to be around someone who is always talking about themselves. Show a genuine interest in your date’s opinions. Ask follow-up questions, nod and make eye contact. Listening skills are incredibly important.
Body language can sometimes speak louder than words! Crossing arms can signal defensiveness and discomfort. Maintain eye contact and a relaxed posture without staring down at them like prey.
Don’t forget to laugh – humor is the secret ingredient of a great date. Avoid anything controversial or dark at first. Instead, share funny stories and light-hearted jokes. Laughter can be a great way to break the ice and build rapport.
Dress comfortably but smartly for your dates! Wear something comfortable and stylish that you like, but doesn’t have to be designer.
Choose your destination wisely. It’s better to choose a cozy café or a museum than crowded bars, where you have to shout just to be heard.
Remember that follow-ups are just as important as the first impressions when things go well. Text them to thank them for their time and tell them how much you enjoyed the event. But don’t bombard them with messages hourly!
Red flags are also important to mention. If they are rude to the waitstaff or always checking their phones during dinner… Run faster than Usain at the Olympics because these behaviors rarely change with time!
Online dating apps is a whole new ball game! It’s not rocket science to create a profile: just use clear photos and avoid bathroom selfies! Honest bios that are free of cliches (like “I love long walks by the beach”) work wonders!
