-
Food. Eat a decent amount of food at the restaurant. Even if you diet all the time to keep your figure, you don’t need to make it look like you have issues with food on the first date.
-
Smile. This is the easiest way to let him know you are interested in him. If he doesn’t get the clue that you’re interested, he probably will not bother calling you for another date.
-
Courtesy. If he opens the car door for you, be sure to reach over and unlock his side. This shows him that you are considerate and think about other people.
-
Be polite. Say please and thank you- to him and everyone else around you. Show him how pleasant you are to be around.
-
End the date with a kiss on the cheek or a peck on the lips. You want to leave him wanting more- and not wondering how many other guys you’ve done that with on a first date….
-
Do not stay out too late. Resist the urge to go to his place after dinner. If you go to his place, he may again wonder how many other times you’ve done this on a first date….
-
Your ex. If your date asks you a question about your past relationship, just give a vague response. Going into great detail makes it look like you’re not over your ex.
-
Be positive. Even if you had the worst day ever at the office, make sure you cheer up before the date. Being too negative makes you look unattractive.
-
Be on time.
-
Phone calls. Definitely do not answer your phone on the date. Better yet, leave your phone at home.
-
Alcohol. Drink in moderation. You do not need to be sloppy drunk on a first date. You want to show that you can control yourself.
-
Have an opinion. If he asks you what movie you want to see, suggest something. Do not just say “any movie is fine”. He may think you are very boring if you just say “yes” all the time.
-
FLIRT! Be confident, compliment him, make eye contact and maintain an “open” body position.
-
Avoid self put-downs. You have to like yourself before he can like you.
