making a good first impression

It's good to see that you're going on 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.

1Be yourself. Don't try and be someone you're not, especially on a first date because it will come

back to bite you as your relationship progresses. It's important for your date to see the real you

and how you react to certain situations. If your relationship is built on a lie it will never last.

2) Break the ice Try introducing yourself and providing information about yourself that you feel

comfortable letting someone know about you. You could tell your date about your hobbies,

occupation, movies or games you would like to see and play, and other interests that you may

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. It's important that you don't get a second chance to make a

first impression so you've got to make it count! Remain true to who you are and what your values

are. Your date will respect you for your integrity and you'll score a few points as well because they

know that you're someone who can be trusted and where there's trust you'll also find security and

love.

I've given you 5 ways that will help 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.
