Making a Good First Impression on a Date

Congrats on making it to your first date! It's taken a lot of effort and courage to get to this point and so I would like to offer you some advice on how to keep your date interested in you so that you can go from a first date to a second date.

1Be yourself. Don't pretend to be someone or something you're not because this will hurt your cause down the road if you end up in a long term relationship with this person. Instead just be yourself and let your date see the real you and let them decide if they like you for who you really are. Most people can spot a fake a mile away so when it comes to dating, honesty is the best policy.

2) Break the ice When you're on a first date and trying to make a good impression don't share any details that you think would be too personal, instead share only what you feel comfortable sharing. Talk about your hobbies, your likes and dislikes, what movies you like and any other interests you have.

3) Smile. Smiling is a great way to put both you and your date at ease especially if you feel nervous around them. It helps you relax and lets your date know that you enjoy their company and that you're having a good time. Another thing to note is that a smile allows you to show off your beauty and since men are mostly visual it's something he'll be sure to remember about you as he thinks about your first date together.

4) Make your date feel safe. One of the best ways to make a good first impression on a date is to make sure that your date feels comfortable around you. There are several ways to do this and there are many ideas out there for you to try but the main thing is that you need to do an activity that engages both of you and gets you talking so a dinner and movie is out the window. Instead try going to an animal shelter so that your date can see your softer side or go to an amusement park if you want to let your wild side show. The key point to remember is that if you're not engaging your date then they won't be at ease with you and you probably won't get a second date with them.

5) Don't compromise your values. Remember your first impression to your date may be your last impression. So make sure you remain true to who you are and the person you're dating. If it is meant for you to be with the person you're dating, then you'll know. If not, you'll know you should move on to someone else. Just remember to put your best foot forward and remain honest. Not only will you keep your self respect, others including your date, will respect you too.

I've given you 5 ways that will help make a good first impression when you go on a first date. Now that you know what they are get a pen and piece of paper and start planning out your date because if you fail to plan you plan to fail.
