First dates can be fun or torturous. It depends on a lot of factors, some out of our own control. You hope for the best and try to make a good impression. There’s good reason for first date trepidation. You can tell a lot about the other person on a first date and you know she is thinking the same thing. You set the precedent for the beginning of your relationship on the first date. It’s a big moment whether you plan on taking the relationship any further or not.
 

Originality

Originality is a must. Its ok to try to be as confident as the guy in the office who gets all the girls but you should always be your own person. Don’t use worn out lines and silly compliments. Talk from the heart and try to connect with her. Boring unoriginal dates won’t help either. Put some thought into the date and take her somewhere that showcases your personal interests. Standard movie and date nights are outdated. Opt for something fun like an indie music concert, theme park, wine festival or a restaurant on the beach. Make it as memorable as possible.

Smooth Moves

If you are comfortable dancing, this one is always a winner. Women are suckers for a man who can dance. If you happen to have some dance lessons behind you, now is the time they start to pay off. If your have street dancing experience you can wow her at the club with some sexy moves. This tactic can backfire on you, so be careful. Some women don’t like to dance or are uncomfortable dancing on the first date. Also, if you get a lot of attention from other women it can upset your date. Different women handle that in different ways. She might like it, knowing that she is on the arm of a desirable man. Take the test – How Desirable Am I? She could also feel threatened.
 

Spontaneity

Being spontaneous doesn’t mean living every moment without a plan. Spontaneity is best displayed at odd moments and in the middle of an ordered environment. Suggest an unplanned stroll through the park after dinner or stop off for an impromptu nightcap. Jump in a freestanding photo booth and take advantage of the most romantic opportune moments that happen your way throughout the date. What spontaneity means most of all is not being afraid to take advantage of the situation around you.
 

Break Stereotypes

Take advantage of some of your areas least known attractions. Take your date somewhere that no one would expect, least of all her. If your known as a sporty type or the guy that rides the motorcycle around town, take her to an art gallery and a swanky martini bar. The same tactic works if you’re a businessman with a busy work schedule. On date night, take her to an outdoor rock concert or a dirt bike race. Give her something she doesn’t expect. Breaking the idea of what she thought you were is a great way to let her know your open to a lot things. She won’t be afraid to approach you with new thoughts and ideas.
 

Stay Home

Choosing to stay home for a date can be a tricky situation. When you ask a woman out he generally prefers to get to know someone new in a public environment. It’s a good idea for you too. You’re in a neutral environment and generally more comfortable. It is possible to have a date at home and still feel at ease if you have a little of background with her. In that case, you can enjoy cocktails in a quieter environment and use the biggest heart warmer of all; cooking for her. If you have culinary skills, all the better, but so many women enjoy the effort of a man cooking for her regardless of his level of kitchen expertise.
 

Grooming and Hygiene

The best move you can make all night is grooming and dressing especially for the date. Shave and trim your nails and weird hairs. Get a haircut if you need one and make sure to style your hair. Wear your best outfit for the occasion or purchase something new if you can afford it. Make sure not to wear sandals or flip-flops on a first date unless you’re taking her to the beach. Make sure not to wear to much cologne and don’t forget to brush your teeth.

Pick one or two of the hints above to add to your stunning façade and charismatic personality and you’ll have all you need in your date arsenal to get you on your way.
