Sweep Her Off Her Feet: Tips for the First Date

You did it. You met an awesome woman. You got her number. And you got her to go out with you. All of those can be nerve-wracking in their own right, but now comes to the true test: the first date.

Everyone guy wants to set up a perfect first date, but in all honesty, there’s no real formula for a perfect first date. Every woman is different and has different needs and expectations. But if you follow these five simple tips, you’ll be sure to have a great time. And more importantly, you’ll leave a great first impression on her.

Think Positive
It’s easy to psych yourself out. Feeling stressed or nervous is totally normal. All you need to remember is this: she already said yes. The hard part is already over. And now you know that she’s interested in you and, in a weird way, is rooting for you to do well (After all, who doesn’t want to be swept off their feet?).

Not only will being positive help calm your nerves, but it projects outward and will have a noticeable affect on your date as well. She’s most likely as nervous about the first date as you are, if not more so. Your cheery attitude will calm her and allow her to be comfortable, ensuring a good time for both of you.

Plan Thoughtfully
Again, everyone has a different idea of a perfect first date. The key to a really great one is to be thoughtful. There’s no bigger turn-off then when it’s obvious that the guy hasn’t thought it through at all. Imagine how a girl would feel if she was taken to a steakhouse when she’s a vegetarian. Or if she wore a nice dress only to find out that you’re doing a hike.

That’s why thoughtfulness is so crucial. Ask her if she has any dietary needs. Invite her to plan part of the date. At the very least, if you’re trying to surprise her, let her get a general idea of what you’re planning. Not only will it help the date go smoother, but it’ll show her how considerate you are. Definitely a win-win.

Be Respectful
It should be common sense, but being respectful goes a long way. Open doors. Show up on time. Ask questions. Listen. Don’t be one of those guys that just talks about themselves the whole time. A date is about having a discussion to learn more about yourselves–it is not the time to talk to your date about how much money you make. Show your date you value her and she’ll do the same for you.

Be Yourself
A first date is your time to shine. Girls go out with guys who “try too hard” to impress them all the time. For them, going out with a guy that’s comfortable with being himself is a huge win.

That being said, you shouldn’t reveal every little detail about yourself (don’t show them all the crazy, so to speak), but it’s important for you to show your date the real you. Be honest. Be real. Be you. She’ll notice it. But more importantly: she’ll appreciate it.
