7 SIMPLE TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE YOUR FIRST DATE GREAT | FOR MEN

First dates can either go super great or super awkward. Don't get me wrong, some people don't even need a guide because once there is a connection between you and her, things will just flow but you can never be too prepared right? Here is 7 things you need to do as a guy to ensure a great first date!



1. KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF.
        This has to be number one because no matter how well you've hit things off before meeting for a date, getting too handsy can be a huge turn off for a lady especially if she has doubts on whether or not you have good intentions (which is something most ladies worry about). So the best thing is to avoid too many body contact.


2. BE A GENTLEMAN.
        Being a gentle man goes hand in hand with number 1. Not all women are willing to be open about it, but there's something charming about a guy who lets you walk into a place first, open doors for you and even helps you adjust a chair to seat. It may be awkward for you if it's not something you're used to, it may also make her feel a bit shy at that moment but it's something she'll definitely smile to when she remembers the date at home and like that, she's thinking about you.


3. MAKE HER LAUGH.
         Yes, I know you've heard about this times without number but it actually works. Making someone laugh is the best way to make them ease up and get comfortable with you. Try not to make jokes every single time or else she might think you're not a serious person or the jokes may no longer be funny so just keep it simple. Also mind the things you joke about i.e her body, her make-up or the way she eats. That 'joke' alone could easily ruin a perfectly going date.


4. LET THE CONVERSATION BE BOTH-WAYS.
         Don't go on and on talking about yourself, give her the opportunity to talk. In fact, do more listening than talking not being necessarily quiet but in a way that it shows your silence is as a result of paying attention. And if it's your turn to talk don't be too loud as quiet conversations are more intimate.


5. PAY FOR THE DATE.
          Some women may insists on splitting the bill which is great, but if that's not the case then you should be more than willing to pay. There's something attractive about a man who wants to take charge, it gives a woman the assurance that he would be able to take care of her. Paying for the date doesn't mean it always has to be like that, some women believe if you want to get to know and spend time with her, you should be able to cover the cost of the date.



6. DON'T ASK HER TO COME HOME WITH YOU.
         Do men even have the decency to ask a woman on a date this days? It seems like the latter is the first thing they ask from you. Ladies cannot stress the fact that asking her to your place is disgusting and makes it look like you're immature and sex starved. You may have a good reason for suggesting it but it comes off as creepy. Trust me, when a lady wants to come home with you, you'd know.


7. COMPLIMENT HER.
        Ladies love a little bit of compliment here and there, although women automatically doubt them because any act of sweetness is a method for you to get to their pants quicker but there's no harm trying. Yes calling her beautiful is a great compliment but try complimenting her work ethic, brillance and lifestyle. That's something everyone needs to hear this days.


BONUS- KEEP YOUR PHONE ON SILENT:
        Imagine you're in a middle of a conversation and someone keeps getting beeps from their phone and constantly takes permission to answer a call or text someone back, it's really hard not to find it annoying so keep the phones aside and enjoy the moment.



   I could go on and on because women are  very complicated, so much so that not everyone of them would agree with this post a 100%. So best thing to do is understand the woman you're with. Understanding her body language is also important because it will help tell when she's not comfortable with a question, a topic or even an action.

   So there you have it, hope this helps you in some way! And don't worry ladies, I'll publish a most on how to have a great first date with your man or man to-be. Have a lovely day and don't forget to share!
