Ten Tips for a Successful Date

Just for the sake of argument, let's define a successful date by one that has left you smiling and anticipating a second one. In the general scheme of things, a first date is the job interview, the second date is the training period and the third date? Well that means that you have got the job!

So, how do you make sure that you get that second date?

1. Perfect planning of the first date. There is nothing worse than going out on a first date with someone that did not put any effort at all into the evening. Know that you are taking out a vegetarian? Then do not pull up in front of the local steakhouse and expect her to be a happy camper. Find out a few things about your date and then show that you care by honoring them.

2. Pay attention to your personal hygiene. Nothing says "I simply do not care" more loudly than bad breath or body odor. If you like someone well enough to ask them out on a date, then you should like they well enough to at least shower and brush your teeth before you show up. On a related note, if you make flowers wilt and your eyes water on the drive over, then you have gone overboard with the cologne.

3. Dress for success. If you know that you are heading to dinner and a movie, then dress accordingly. Don't show up to a nice place in a tee shirt and ratty jeans and expect to be welcomed with open arms. If your date shows up in a nice dress and heels, you will know right away that you might be in some trouble.

4. Don't show up empty handed. A tasteful bouquet is always a nice touch, but some people think it is hopelessly old fashioned. There is a reason some things endure though; they work! A small box of candy is a good choice as well, and if it’s the good stuff, you might be forgiven any social blunder.

5. Mind your manners. No one expects you to be a social expert, but basic courtesy is always in your best interest. Hold doors open, don’t talk with your mouth full. Don't hip check your date out on the way into the movies. And do not, I repeat, do not belch just before leaning in for a kiss!

6. Pay attention. If your date is talking about something boring, try not to let your mind wander too far away. As soon as a man looks up with that deer in the headlights look, we know that he has not been listening.
7. Make eye contact. This is not the same as paying attention, but the two do go hand in hand. I went out with a man one time that did not look up from his plate a single time during the entire meal. He even spoke to our waitress with his head bent over. I could only describe the top of the man’s head. Not a successful date.

8. Be present in the moment. Along with paying attention and making eye contact, you need to connect with your date. Ask and answer questions, let her know a little bit about yourself. Show her that you actually like being there with her.
9. Know that friendly silences are not all that bad. It is a sign of trust that two people can sit together silently and not feel awkward. Sometimes on the best dates, words are not even necessary.

10. Walk the walk. You may no believe this, but the way you walk and hold yourself can say a lot more about you than your mouth ever could. When walking, you should take your time, but not too much - like taking one step every 30 seconds - Just be smooth and have nimble movements. Keep you back straight, chest out, shoulders thrown back, and raise your head a little, showing you have an air of confidence. Just by doing these simple things can instantaneously make you feel better about yourself.
