1. Take a shower before the date

It isn’t good to show up on your date unshaved, looked dirty and smelling bad. Women are always keen at how hygienic men are. So remember that bad breath and odor are instant turn off on women. She will assume your unhygienic ways even though you are just having a bad day.

2. Always be punctual

Whatever happens, avoid getting late on your date . Getting late will make wrong impressions. First thing is that she might think she’s been stood up, and after showing up she will think of you being unreliable person and not to care enough about your date. If there is a need to pick her up from her home, make sure to arrive five minutes before the due time. It is the appropriate time to arrive early, earlier than that will make you catch her still getting ready or still adjusting her make up. But remember not to be late. Always arrive on time.

3. Buy a thoughtful gift for her

A thoughtful gift will make a woman feel special. Before your first date, you would be able to know some things about her like her favorite color. If her color is purple, you can buy her purple flowers or purple colored mini cake. For general thoughtful gift, you can buy her mini sculptured chocolates.

4. Be a gentleman

Open a door for her, let her walk first ahead of you on a door, pull a chair for her, and be polite. Women will think you are a great person to be with when you treat her like a lady, she will feel special to you.

5. Give a compliment

Tell her how gorgeous she is even before you ask how she’s doing. Keep giving her compliments throughout the date but don’t overdo it.

Avoid this, and sincere compliments will result to higher impact to your date.

6. Listen actively to her

Does anyone ever wanted to sit and spend the whole night listening to someone talking about themselves? Perhaps no one. The two of you have to know each other, thus a conversation and an active listening is important. Ask questions, and listen to what she is saying. A woman is interested on a man the same as a man is genuinely interested on her. Spend the time asking questions and let her talk about herself than talk about yourself, unless she asks about you, then start talking, briefly and meaningful.

7. Prepare yourself for the conversation

It is such a bore to sit facing each other in a meal with nothing to talk about. Try to think what you would like to know about her. You may run out of questions, or you may have the answers instantly but nothing follows after. Silence in between is not that bad, but keep the conversation going. Avoid talking about your past relationships or other women you know while on the date. Keep focused on her.

8. Take in charge the cost of the date

It’s always an act of a gentleman to offer to pay for the cost of the date. When a man offers to pay for the charges, he shows some sort of responsibility for the woman, that some men lacks. However, there are women who feels more comfortable having to pay the charges, and if she insists on her offer, give way and make her pay. But to avoid some conflicts on the later part of the date, let her know you wanted to pay for the charges before you go out.

9. Goodnight Kiss

There are women who doesn’t wanted to be kissed after the first date, while there are some who may be disappointed if men didn’t even try to. There is no definite answer for this. The outcome of the date, the chemistry between you, and body language will determine if a kiss will be appropriate after the date. If you think both of you are comfortable with each other, then you might consider to make the move. But if you feel it’s not yet the time, then a friendly hug would do.

10. Calling after the date

If you wanted to meet her again, then tell her you will call her and you intend to see her again. If you’re not interested on her, avoid telling her that you will call. Instead, when saying goodbye, be polite and tell her it was nice meeting her and wish her luck. Or you can say good night with a smile and simply walk away.
