making a good first impression

Congrats on making it to your first date! I'm sure it's taken a lot of effort to get to this first date and

so before you go out with them I would like to offer some advice on how to make a good first

impression and keep your date interested in you for the evening.

1) Be yourself Don't fake who you are or pretend you're someone you're not. This will certainly

catch up with you later! Being yourself on your date is the best way to go. The person you are

seeing gets to see the real you. They can decide if they're going to continue to be interested in

you or not. If they are still interested that's good! If not, that's okay too. Just move on to someone

who will like you for you!

2) Break the ice When you're on a first date and trying to make a good impression don't share

any details that you think would be too personal, instead share only what you feel comfortable

sharing. Talk about your hobbies, your likes and dislikes, what movies you like and any other

interests you have.

3) Smile. That's right, smile sometimes with your date. This can help you and your date to release

nervous tension you may have built up before and during your date. Smiling helps you to relax

and become more comfortable with each other. So go ahead, try it! It won't hurt. Your date will

probably love your beautiful or handsome smile.

4) Make your date feel secure. One of the best ways to make a good first impression on a date

is to make sure that your date feels comfortable around you. There are several ways to do this

and there are many ideas out there for you to try but the main thing is that you need to do an

activity that engages both of you and gets you talking so a dinner and movie is out the window.

Instead try going to an animal shelter so that your date can see your softer side or go to an

amusement park if you want to let your wild side show. The key point to remember is that if you're

not engaging your date then they won't be at ease with you and you probably won't get a second

date with them.

5) Don't compromise your values. Remember your first impression to your date may be your

last impression. So make sure you remain true to who you are and the person you're dating. If it is

meant for you to be with the person you're dating, then you'll know. If not, you'll know you should

move on to someone else. Just remember to put your best foot forward and remain honest. Not

only will you keep your self respect, others including your date, will respect you too.

I've given you 5 ways that will help do you make a good first impression when you go on a first

date. Now that you know what they are get a pen and piece of paper and start planning out your

date because if you fail to plan you plan to fail.
