You're on a date and you want to impress. You don't have to try too hard to be impressive. Try to find out some basic things about him, but don't act like he's under police questioning. Asking a man a question shows that you are interested in a date. As a rule, guys are quite simple. If he's interested in how you look, sound, and smell, you don't need to work miracles to make a good first impression.
But if you want to make a really great first impression, here are 10 ways to impress a guy on a first date.
1. Get to your date on time
Nobody likes to wait… Besides, if you're late, he might meet someone else. Use all the time to get to know him, so don't be late.
2. Dress appropriately
If he invited you to dinner, don't show up in jeans, dress specifically for the occasion. If you're going on a date that involves walking or hiking, wear athletic clothes. He'll love the effort you put into looking appropriate.
3. Don't drink too much
One cocktail, one beer or one glass of wine and that's it. Sure, alcohol will help you relax, but you don't want to mumble or come off as a drunk.
4. No tears
Crying is alarming. Another reason to stay sober, especially if you're the sentimental type who pours his soul out on the table after a few drinks.
5. Don't talk about your ex
Don't talk about your exes and other guys you've dated. You might think this is completely understandable, but you can't believe how many people make this mistake.
6. Pay for dinner
While it's common for a man to pay on a date, it's still nice to offer to pay the bill or at least share in the bill.
7. Be flexible
When you go on a date, you often don't know what to expect. If a guy suggests something you've never tried before, like a concert by a band you don't normally listen to - try it anyway. You might be pleasantly surprised.
8. Show interest in him
Try to find out some basic things about him, but don't make him feel like he's under police questioning. Ask him about his favorite hobbies, what he does in his spare time and what makes him happy. Asking a man questions shows that you are interested in him and will make him feel comfortable.
9. Flirt
But not too much! Guys love to flirt, but you risk looking too desperate if you overdo it. Show your sense of humor and flirt playfully. This will give him a signal to consider possible romance.
10. Share interesting information about yourself
This is called a date. If you're dating someone, there's a good chance they want to get to know you too, so give them a chance to learn more about you.
