LEGIT FIRST DATE TIPS FOR MEN.

In today’s blog I’m gonna be giving you five killer dating tips to have a great first date so regardless of what the outcome of date might be, you’re not going to leave the date thinking I could have done better. Following these five tips are going to set you up for success and ensure that you have the best first date possible. So with that let’s go ahead and jump into it. 


Welcome to - Live Bold And Bloom With Ishika.


#1. Dress well - Don’t dress like someone you’re not or dress like what you think she would want you to look like. Just dress like the best version of yourself so, this is also going to depend on the type of scenario that you’re in for your date. If you’re going for brunch on the weekend and it’s very casual, you’re going to wear something like jeans, sneakers and a nice T-shirt, just looking a little bit more casual to fit the setting that you’re gonna be in. Say, you’re meeting after work for a drink or dinner, a little bit more business casual will go. I’m not going to get super specific into what to wear but you should look like you spent a little time getting ready, you don’t want to look like you rolled out of bed. First impression is really important. 


#2. Confidence is the key - There’s no doubt about it, confidence is attractive. No matter who you are, where you’re from, or what you look like, adding confidence to your dating arsenal will take you far. If you want to go that little bit further, perhaps sprinkle a little enthusiasm in there whilst you’re at it. One huge caveat though - being over-confident is a turn-off. And that’s a fact. So try and keep it within a normal range. If you’re somewhat of a shy guy then not to worry, confidence is one of those things you can literally practice. 


#3. Pick the perfect place - You’re going to pick a place somewhere where you’ll be able to get to know them to an extent. You don’t want to get to know them too much on the first date but you can get to know each other a little bit better. I don’t think a fancy dinner date is a good first date because you kind of lock yourself into this very nice long drawn-out formal meal. You’re not going to go somewhere where the conversation is limited. 


#4. Be on time - It’s okay if she is fascinating late but you’re the gentleman make sure you’re there, being on time shows that you’re a man that values time and more importantly the time of others including your first date. 

Remember - A lot of guys aren’t gentlemen if you’re, you’ll stand out from the bunch. 


#5. Talk - One of the things most of the guys fear on that first date is dead spaces or big lulls in the conversation. A great way to work to avoid this is to pre-plan some first date questions or topics of questions. What I suggest you to do, write down some questions you’d like to ask, write down some great topics of conversation. This way if you’re stuck with something to say you can fall back on that list. Try to keep the conversation light and fun. 


#6. Don’t be shy about giving a compliment - Compliments aren’t cheesy, and they do work. Sometimes a person has put a lot of thought and effort into what he or she wears on a first date, and it’s nice to have a date recognize that. The compliment will go over even better if you make it specific. As in, “I really like that necklace you have on” or “Your nail polish is a pretty color.” Noticing those details is more flattering than giving out a generic line.

#7. Follow up after the date - Last of all, if you had a good time on your first date, then you should be proactive about getting in touch and setting up a second date. And, no, you don’t have to wait that standard three days. Who knows how many other guys your date has swiped on while you played hard to get? Go ahead and send a quick text saying you had a good time and ask when you can meet up for date number two. Otherwise you may not see that person again. If you want to impress a date, be responsive and be enthusiastic.

BONUS TIPS - 

  1. Avoid social media - Don’t take selfies with him and definitely don’t post it on social media. Also, avoid taking your own selfies too.
  2. Don’t mention your ex -  Do not bring up your ex. Even if it comes up in conversation, do not not give that topic much importance and change the topic.
  3. Avoid heavy topics - Stay away from heavy topics such as politics, religion or sex. People usually have very strong opinions about such topics.
  4. Steer the conversation - Have a stimulating conversation but don’t be overly polite. Show her your smart inquisitive side too. Come out of your shell and share the things that you feel passionate and knowledgeable about.
  5. Stay positive - Do not vent about your problems to her. She’s a date not a therapist.
  6. Respect people around - Don’t badmouth other people in front of your date. Nobody likes spending time with toxic and negative people.

Conclusion-

I hope that these first date tips for man like you come in handy on your next first date. Remember - If it’s meant to be with this girl, it’ll be. Even if you spill your drink, fall, or make a dumb joke, if he’s into you, he’s into you. 

Also, Do not put so much stock into that first date. Yes, you want to make a great first impression, but you want to be yourself and be relaxed when you do.

Etiquette isn’t something that just evaporated from society over time.

You probably didn’t know that you were breaking these essential etiquette rules!   Welcome to - Live Bold And Bloom With Ishika. 1. You Avoid Eye Contact While Talking - When you chat with others, do you find your eyes wandering? You look at what’s going on in the background, rather than looking at your conversation partner’s face.
