The Top 7 Dating Tips For Guys

Going on a date without giving the occasion much thought is not a recipe for success. Like anything worthwhile in life you need to have a plan. It may seem contrary to the very idea of spontaneous romance to have to plan ahead, but it isn’t. What you need to plan for is all the major moments of the date, except for, hopefully, the romantic ones. To help all you guys who need help in this respect, here are the top 7 dating tips.

1. Show up on time, or better still, show up early. If you show up late it is not a cool thing to do. It shows disrespect for the girl and it indicates that the date isn’t very important to you. You don’t want to appear overly eager, or worse – desperate – but you should show her that the date is important to you and that you have respect for her. Show up at the agreed meeting place a little ahead of time.

2. Don’t bring her flowers on your first date. I know… This isn’t the advice that everyone else gives out, but it does make sense when you think it over. Bringing her flowers on the first date makes her think that you do that for every first date. That isn’t going to make her feel special. Save the flowers for the second or third date. It will have a greater impact, and by that time you should have found out if she likes flowers and which kind she likes best.

3. Just be yourself on your date. Perhaps you expected something more of a revelation here, but so many guys try to be someone they are not. The girl can usually see through it and will be amused at best, and very annoyed at worst. Be yourself for better or for worse. Be natural and don’t try to force anything about you that isn’t normally there. It’s an honest approach and it will work best.

4. Remember your body language. The one thing above all else that you should always do is make good eye contact. A first date can be unnerving and a stressful time for any guy, but you have to rise above that. Show a quiet confidence, and the best way to express that is through good eye contact. Don’t try to stare her down – that would just be weird. Just keep eye contact to let her know that you are there and interested.

5. Remember the value of small talk. Ask her questions, but don’t get in too deep. Don’t ask her the meaning of life. Just keep the conversation light. Ask her questions about herself, simple things such as her likes and dislikes in music, if she travels much, or if she has a particular hobby. Make her feel important, but don’t give her the third degree and make it sound like an interrogation.

The most successful dates are those that work naturally when nothing is forced or acted out. Remember that she will be a bit nervous too. Help to put her at ease by being yourself. Keep a friendly approach and remember that it’s just a first date – not a prelude to marriage.
