How Do I Impress My Match On Our First Date?

New to the online dating game? First dates can be nerve-wracking, but they don’t have to be. I share these simple steps to skip the awkwardness and find the love of your life.

Congratulations on securing a one-on-one, alone time with your crush however, that’s not all that matters. Now, you need to think about how to make a good impression on your first meeting and create a fascinating memory. Have it at the back of your mind that you’ve only got a chance to make a “perfect” first impression.

There are numerous ways and approach you can take to make it worth more than a one-time meeting. Here are some ideas to make it a wonderful experience.

Your Appearance & Appeal

When going on a date, you need to “Dress to Impress.” It is the first date, so you don’t need to dress excessively. All you need do is dress well and make sure you feel comfortable at all times. You don’t want to be uncomfortable in your dress while trying to be someone else.

Important tip: don’t just dress well, prioritize your hygiene too. Also, do well to smell nice and refreshing.

The Meeting Point

This is the time for you to stand out from the rest and be unique. You can try out the classics such as taking a walk, eating at a restaurant, going to the cinema, or drinking together at a bar. However, you might just want to try something new and do something unusual. To spice the experience, you can do something fun like playing a game together to make it unique and memorable from what you are used to.

You can even go out without having a specific plan and follow the flow. Try something for the first time with your crush – something entirely different from your interests. For example, you can go to a museum or art gallery.

It is the first date so you should be time conscious. As much as you want to have a full experience, you should avoid wasting time.

Er wollte wissen, ob es wirklich möglich ist, jeden zweiten Abend mit einer anderen schönen Frau ins Bett zu gehen. Und das ist es! Wie er das geschafft hat, verrät er uns hier.

Never Burn Out Of Topics For Conversation

The excitement for the first date is always high – we understand! So, to avoid running out of things to avoid, preparing topics will do you a lot of good. Having questions and interesting stories ready will boost your confidence and make it easy to enjoy the whole experience without faltering.

Make The Conversation Real & Engaging

Here are some pointers you should take note of for a graceful and successful conversation with your match:

• Show that you are approachable and fun to be with.
• Focus on positive and entertaining topics – avoid critical topics.
• Avoid going on an interview mode.
• Give sincere compliments from the moment you meet.
• Deliberately maintain eye contact.
• Respect your match – pay attention to your match during the date, and put distractions such as your phone aside.
• Give hints that show you have a romantic interest.

After The Date

Once the date draws to an end, you can easily assess the whole process. If you are sure you’ve built intimacy with your crush, then a kiss will be okay. You don’t want to give the wrong message that you don’t find them attractive unknowingly.

On the flip side, if you don’t think you’ve received enough signal to take the next step, don’t push it! In such an instance, the best thing to do is thank them for sparing some time to meet you and get in touch later at night or the next day. Let them know you are interested in a second meeting and hope for the best!
