First date is a thing which always makes you think over again and again that what would be your first impression or how to give her a good impression on the very first meeting? The first impression is often said as the last impression, whereas in Dating, especially on the first date, the first impression matters a lot. The other person only notices your looks, attitude and behavior rather than going deep into your life on the very first date and your first impression plays an important part as to what kind of relation will develop or even if the relation will develop or not? So, here are few tips for you so that you know how to give the best impression as the first impression on your first date with her.
Look Good: May be you are not a handsome guy, but does that mean you can’t look good? Self grooming is really important. You need to do the following things before going to your first date: – bathing, smelling good, trimming away nose hair and ironing your shirt. I hope you think that the above mentioned tasks do not need much effort.
Have a Good Sense of Humor: Women love the people who can make them laugh. By making her laugh you are making sure that she is having a good time and is enjoying being with you. She will surely remember her first date with you and will want to go out with you again as you left a good impression on her.
Be Yourself: Women sense fraud, so better you don’t lie anything. Be what you are and answer her questions honestly as you are at the stage of creating a base for your relationship and sooner or later all things come up clearly, so to avoid being called a liar. Be true. Don’t pretend to be what you are not, instead let her know you as who you are or what you are? This will certainly create a good impression on her.
Be a Good Listener: Women love to talk and they love to tell about themselves, so whenever she is talking to you, listen to her carefully, instead of thinking about what to ask next? By listening to her, you are showing her that you are interested in knowing about her which will make her comfortable talking to you and she will always love being with you. Remember, do not get involved in any controversial topics like politics etc, instead you can choose the topics like hobbies, family, sports etc.
Maintain a Good Attitude: This is one of the most important tip or advice which I would like you to know. Your attitude matters a lot on your first date, it includes how you treat yourself, how you treat others and also how you make others treat you?
Be a Mystery: Women show a great interest towards something they can’t understand and they always want to learn about it more. So, being a mystery will attract her towards you and she would want to come out with you again and again. Now, be nice but avoid being too nice to be always available for her and she would be coming back for more.
Make Her Feel Special: Always do everything to make a woman feel special as women always want to feel special. Women always want to be respected and appreciated. Your making her feel special will definitely leave a good impression on her. You can make her feel special by doing small things like opening the door for her, offering her a chair before you are seated etc.
Enjoy Dating: Dating means to feel relaxed. Instead of being stressed out by just trying to make your date perfect, just be comfortable and enjoy. If you are not enjoying, certainly she would be able to tell and she also won’t enjoy the date and here you may make a bad impression on her.

The first step to getting a great girlfriend is deciding exactly what kind of woman would be right for you. You don’t want to settle for a woman who isn’t someone you like being around for more than just a little while. The point of getting a girlfriend is to have someone to have more fun with. If you get into a relationship and end up miserable, you’re doing something wrong. So first, decide exactly what you want. That’s the only way you’ll stand a chance at getting it. How do you want to date? Do you want fun, casual, short-term relationships with several women at once? Would you rather have one girlfriend who you really have fun with and respect? Do you want to date a few women casually at first and see if you’d like to get more serious later? Who do you want to date? A friendly, down-to-earth girl-next-door? Someone outgoing and adventurous? An elegant and sophisticated woman? A quiet and reserved type who saves most of her attention for you? Or again, several different women so that you can see who you enjoy being around the most? What are you going to do together? Do you want someone to go with to all the local clubs? Would you rather have a girlfriend who sits on the sidelines and cheers for you, or one who will jump right in the game? How about a girlfriend who enjoys a sport or hobby you’ve never tried? It’s a good idea to start working this out now, before you meet her and before she announces that she’s bored with dinner and a movie every time you go out. Right now, you might think that physical attraction is all that a relationship requires, and you’d be right for the first date…maybe. But eventually, if you haven’t thought through what you want to give and receive in your relationship, your girlfriend will get on your nerves until you have to break it off. But if you start off your relationship right, you’ll be much more likely to get a great girlfriend who you’ll never want to leave. Remember that you have to have something to offer in a relationship, too. What will that be? There are a few things that women want that will surprise you, and others that will seem incredibly obvious. And then there are other things that you thought were important that turn out not to matter at all. So what’s fact and what’s fiction? This series will tell you after you figure out what it is that you really want out of your dating life.

Just as no woman wants a man who isn’t in control of his life, you don’t need a woman whose life is a disaster. If she has bad habits, addictions, or a history of decisions that turn out to make her life worse, pass her by. While you may like to feel needed, you don’t need to feel necessary for her survival in the everyday world. If she isn’t capable of taking care of herself, you don’t need to rescue her. Be nice to her, but don’t think you can cure her of an addiction or teach her how to handle her personal life better. That’s what counselors are for. Trying to take on that role in a romantic relationship just won’t work. If you find yourself attracted to a woman who just doesn’t have her life together, you need to date someone else. Later, when she decides on her own to straighten out her life, you might date her. But until then, don’t even try it. Remember, you want your relationships to be happy. If she can’t be happy because her life is a mess, you can’t make her happy and you can’t be happy with her. You can’t just come in and fix everything for her. That’s her job as an adult. Taking over that job will make her angry with you, no matter how much better your solutions are. Also, constantly having to rescue a woman gets old really quick, so don’t pick that relationship in the first place and you have a better chance of staying together. Hold out for a woman who has her life together. If she is healthy physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially, you’ll be able to tell. She’ll be happy, calm, and self-aware. She won’t have to escape reality with drugs or alcohol, or dull the pain in her life with self-destructive behavior. A woman you want to date will be able to take care of herself and she won’t be desperate for a man to come bail her out. A healthy woman won’t use you for security, because she already has her own. She’ll still want to be with you, but because she likes you, not because of what you can do for her. And she won’t drop you because someone better comes along. She won’t make excuses for dumb decisions and insist that she has no choice but to be a victim. She won’t have drama cluttering up her life which means that she’ll have room for a healthy, happy relationship with you. She’ll like you for YOU, and she’ll be much less likely to be clingy and jealous as well.

There are women everywhere, but meeting one you’d like to go out with isn’t nearly as simple as it sounds. Women can be hard to approach, hard to impress, and hard to figure out – and no wonder.

And sometimes, it seems they’re speaking another language, with the same words as yours, but completely different meanings. If you’ve had trouble navigating relationships before, now you know why. Few men really understand what women want, and the ones who do have an edge over the rest of the guys who just blunder along doing their best. For most men, getting a great girlfriend is hit-or-miss.

Do you ever wonder if there are any guys out there who are worth dating? Where are they? And why can’t you find them? Yes, they’re out there – but maybe you’re looking in the wrong places. You might even know a great guy right now, but you’re passing him by because you aren’t sure what you really want. Chances are you’re letting yourself look for men the way you shop for shoes – changing your mind with each new trend or mood. Finding the right single man is not about pleasing your friends, or a competition for attracting the hottest guy at the party. Finding the right single man only happens when you know what you want in a man. Think of man-hunting like bargain hunting at a clearance sale. Sure, the neon orange skirt is 80% off the regular price, but where would you wear it? That conservative black suit is a classic, but your style is sporty and casual – it just doesn’t fit with the rest of your wardrobe. Buying another tank top that’s not your size won’t look any better because it’s on sale than the one you already have that shrank in the wash. Mr. Neon Orange may be easy to lead around, but he would never fit into your world. Mr. Conservative Black Suit runs with a more formal crowd than your flip flop loving crowd. Mr. Too-Tight Tank Top is just like Mr. Jerk that you spent months crying over last year – do you really want to do that again? You have to know what you want in a man before you can find him. So take out a piece of paper and draw three columns. The left column is for What’s Important, middle column is for Requirements and right column is for Preferences, aka, those little this called compromise points. The What’s Important column includes such items as age, income, appearance, moral value, habits like smoking/drinking, common interests, sports, commitment style and family values. Don’t try to fit any particular guys into this list – not yet. Prepare this list with absolute honesty. Decide what characteristics are must haves (Requirements) and which are like to haves (Preferences). Until you know this information, you really can’t make a solid decision about any guy. Maybe you’ve ignored nagging requirements in order to accept a certain guy as he is. That’s a relationship red flag. If you’re a personal trainer who is into natural foods, you can make all the excuses in the world, but you won’t last with a guy who smokes and craves fatty fast foods 24/7. The conflict between what’s important to him and what’s important to you means that one of you has to change. Don’t count on changing him. If you change your beliefs, how much of yourself gets lost? Over time, you’ll either resent him or resent yourself – the conflict in inevitable. Knowing what you want is the fair way to date. Why waste your time (and his) when the foundational elements aren’t there? It’s also important to be honest with yourself about the type of man that you really want. When you know how to describe him, you’ll have an easier time recognizing him when you meet him. Maybe you already know him – you just didn’t know yourself!

Before you start flirting over the copy machine, think about where an office romance could take you. In fact, your company may have a firm policy discouraging dating a co-worker or at least dating a person within the same department. Even if there’s no policy, you need to decide what’s going to be your personal policy about dating that new hot guy in the next cubicle. Granted, you spend many hours weekly at work and it’s only natural that you form friendships and occasionally choose to socialize with co-workers after hours. That time spent away from work pressures can be great for building rapport. If your socializing turns into a romance, then all the rules change. You know that it’s tough enough to concentrate on the mundane chores of your job when your mind is swirling with images of your new man. You sneak personal phone calls, emails and rush out at 4:59pm to get a jump on parking lot traffic just to be with him. Imagine how much more distracting a romance would be if your guy was only a few desks or a floor away from you all day long? Having your guy so close that you can sneak kisses in the supply room sounds wonderful, but it can also create some embarrassing situations. All of your relationship woes could become office fodder for the gossip mills.

Ask a couple who has been married for 25 or 50 years what keeps their relationship alive and they usually tell you that they have important things in common. It may be animal magnetism that draws your attention to a man, but it’s not enough to keep you together through the decades. His wavy dark hair turns gray and falls out; his six pack abs fall into his six pack drinking beer belly; the time he spent gazing into your eyes is now spent in a trance before the television set watching NASCAR. There has to be something more than sex or fascination that keeps a couple together. Couples who share the same values have a bond that goes beyond physical attraction. It’s the very foundation for a strong, successful relationship. If you’re family shares a strong ethnic or cultural heritage, then you need to find a man who shares a similar background. Otherwise, your relationship will be strained each time his family values and yours collide. In some families, marrying outside of the ethnicity or faith creates serious divisions within the family. You may say that you’ll give up family for love, but how will you feel about this after you have children? Even the issue of whose values or faith will be practiced by the children is enough to tear apart relationships. There are a few high status couples in the media who come from different sides of the political spectrum. To say that this is a challenge is likely an understatement. You may be conservative and he’s a liberal – which makes for lively conversations. But if your political beliefs are radically different, this is going to impact how well your friends mix and how you live out your beliefs. A materialistic woman who falls for a dedicated environmentalist starts a relationship with so many opposite values. She wants all of the latest appliances and finds recycling to be too much trouble. He sorts her trash to make certain that plastics and paper are in recycle bins. In time, they will resent each other for those differences. However, you don’t have to look for a guy who is your philosophical, spiritual and emotional clone to be happy. Differences of opinion can be healthy – and even exciting. But differences that tear at the essence of the beliefs about who you are and your place in the universe become divisive and quarrelsome in any relationship. Perhaps the best way to find a mate who shares your most treasured values is to go where like-minded people can be found. It could be a weekly yoga class, or a certain church or synagogue that represents your spiritual beliefs. If you are politically inclined, join that party’s local group and work on campaigns. Environmentalists have many different expressions of saving our world, so find one that you can care deeply about and meet others who feel the same way. Why go to a bar where you never know who’s being their real self? You’ll find a better dating pool from people who share your values, beliefs, ethnicity or culture, and in the meantime, you’ll enjoy doing things that are meaningful to you.

Dating may seem relaxing when experienced by individuals who feel trapped in their relationships, but for those dating, it’s often not relaxing, but quite stressful. There’s anxiety about what to talk about on the date, what to wear, how you are perceived, whether you’ll like the person romantically etc. Be natural and don’t feel you have to give a performance every time you get ready to go out for a date. Try to view your date as an adventure and not a chore. In addition, a single person often feels pressure from friends, co-workers and one’s parents to finally “settle down” and find “the one”. Sometimes you can feel dread when running into someone you know, anticipating the inevitable question about finding that special someone. You can simply let your friends and family know that you are in a dating phase for now and you’ll let them know if you meet someone that you feel has potential for a long-term relationship. Try to not put additional pressure on yourself to ensure each date measures up to a certain standard you may have in mind, but instead try to be “in the moment “and focus on getting to know your date. Don’t worry about whether the date will evolve into a long-term relationship, or be distracted by the desire to finally tell your friends and family you may have met the perfect person. Just let go of everything and simply experience your date. Listen carefully, try to enjoy yourself. If nothing else, you’ll develop better communication skills and practice the fine art of relaxing even though your life isn’t fully settled yet. A lot of people have difficulty feeling whole when they aren’t in a relationship and find it to be a challenge to feel comfortable with such an unresolved issue. Learning to stay centered and relax is a very good way to gain personal strength, gain confidence and balance, and be at peace despite the fact that external circumstances are not exactly how they want them to be.
