First dates can be fun and exciting, or they can leave you feeling anxious and insecure. We suggest running through the list so as not to miss anything and prepare for a romantic encounter mentally and physically –– let everything go perfectly!
Facial expression
You can spend hours choosing a bag to match your shoes, doing your hair and makeup, but the main “detail” of your image, which a man will also remember for a long time, is your facial expression. If it conveys a lack of interest in the gentleman, boredom, or even contempt, the date can no longer be saved, even if it’s all about failures at work. Experts advise coming to romantic meetings in a great mood. Do something that inspires you and lifts your spirits, be it watching your favorite comedy or working out. If this meeting turns out to be fateful, both you and your partner will remember it for the rest of your lives!
Figure
It would be a lie to say that men don’t care what your body looks like. It’s not just a matter of sexual instinct – people form a complete image of the interlocutor, even if they have never seen each other and have only communicated on the phone. Yes, a man will notice the peculiarities of your figure when you meet, but this is no reason to worry. You shouldn’t be embarrassed by your body if it does not correspond to the stereotypical parameters of 90-60-90 – models, after all, are also plus-size.
Interest
First dates are a great opportunity to get to know each other better. The global task that you face is to make sure that you have a similar worldview and interests. To do this, you do not need to tell a detailed biography – treat the acquaintance stage as an interview. There is no need to lie, but the emphasis should be on the positive aspects. A good date is always a dialogue, not a psychotherapy session. If you told something about yourself, ask your partner a question. A man may not be very talkative, but he will definitely notice and appreciate your interest in himself.
Stop topics
Religion and politics are usually considered the most “explosive” topics, but when it comes to dating, it’s important to make sure that your core beliefs are not in conflict with each other. Why not discuss these topics while respecting alternative opinions? What you really shouldn’t talk about is your exes – especially if you tend to trash them. Believe me, a man can already imagine you saying the same thing about him. Bringing up money and marriage is also a no-no, as you may be misunderstood. A man will remember you as a materialistic or desperate girl, which is most often an obstacle to continuing communication.
Language of the body
Men may not pay attention to small details, but there are some things that are hard to miss. For example, touching on your initiative will quickly melt the ice if your partner is not indifferent to you. Don’t forget about your posture! Are you standing up straight with your head held high or are you hunched over, looking at the floor? This is how your romantic partner will remember you. A simple body position can say a lot about your personality and character.
Manners
It is believed that people show their true nature in communication with service personnel and in conflict situations. In a restaurant, these two factors often coincide – for example, a waiter can bring the wrong dish or ignore your table for too long. Try to control yourself, even if there is a good reason for negative emotions. With the exception of unexpected and shocking topics, the way you speak will be remembered by your companion more than the content of your speech. So it is better to refrain from rudeness, and otherwise – be yourself. Pretense will be revealed sooner or later.
Cloth
Your date probably won’t pay much attention to your clothes – it doesn’t matter if you’re wearing branded or “no-name” items. Wardrobe details are noticed when someone is dressed pretty badly, their clothes are worn out, or don’t match the situation. If the clothes are appropriate and fit, look neat and clean – that’s all that’s required. Don’t let fashion finds steal the show – you yourself should be the center of attention, not what you’re wearing.
Physical “disadvantages”
Things like a small scar, a crooked tooth, or a few extra pounds are unlikely to escape your partner’s attention. But if your partner doesn’t focus on it, then you shouldn’t either. People often criticize themselves for things that don’t bother them at all in others. Most likely, what you consider your shortcomings, a man will perceive as peculiarities, and nothing more. Unless, of course, you engage in “anti-advertisement” with the help of self-deprecating speeches – not everyone wants to be a savior for a girl with low self-esteem.
