First dates are exciting. We all hope they go well, but based on the accounts of most women... most guys don't have a CLUE at what they're doing. Let me give you a little bit of practical first date advice to make sure that your first dates go well.
Let me set your frame of mind for the perfect first date. Your main goal is to always come across as non-average as humanly possible. Woman are very selective by nature, being "average" repels them like a skunk who eats nothing but garlic.
If you truly want to attract a woman and have the date end well (if you know what I mean), you MUST make it a point from the beginning to be different from most of the guys who have no idea what makes her tick.
The one thing that most men do that instantly gets them labeled as "average" is by playing the 20 questions game. They'll ask what her hobbies are, ask about her job, and all other kind of mundane details about every day things that the woman is trying to ESCAPE while out on a date.
This may seem counter intuitive, because you want to get to know her, right?
Right. But women are greatly attracted to mystery. Keep things light and fun at first. She will start to get curious about you, and SHE'LL be the one to ask questions first (ALWAYS make sure that she's the one asking questions first).
Once she starts asking questions, it's the perfect chance to turn things around on her. You need to only give her playful answers in return at first, avoiding the actual questions and increasing her sense of excitement and curiousity.
You don't want her asking questions out of formality. You want her GENUINELY INTERESTED in knowing more about you.
If you do this, you will be a special guy in her mind. Also, by setting yourself apart, you've ensured that you will not find yourself in the terrible, terrible "friends zone" that so many guys seem to fall into.
Want an example of a line that you can actually use?
One common question that people will ask is what you do for a job/career/living. This almost invariably leads to a boring, awkward conversation. If you don't believe me, just watch any dating show on TV.
Perfect opportunity to set yourself apart!
Instead of actually telling her what you do, tell her "I work at Taco Bell. I'm employee of the month. My mom is very proud."
Don't worry, she'll know you are joking (noone who actually worked at Taco Bell would say it that way!) and she will bust out laughing. For added effect, hold in your smile. Holding in your smile is a technique that the best comedians use. It makes jokes funnier. Very effective.
First impressions are EVERYTHING, and they come by the bucketload in a first date setting.
