subject: Dating Guidelines For Guys - Six Local Dating Basics [print this page] If you'd like your your date with a new girl to be the first of many great dates, there are actually five important things that you certainly have to do. These are basics, study them now and you'll be better able to get a date any night you would like.
1) Take a shower! Just meeting girls is not enough, don't you want to go out with them? It may seem silly that this must even be brought up, but you'll find guys who feel they know how to meet new girls or show up for a date even though they smell like the high school gym. Don't be one of those guys.
2) Be on time. No matter if you might be meeting your date at her house or meeting her somewhere, get there when you say you will. If you make her wait, you will give the impression of being conceited or untrustworthy. Being on time shows respect. Having said that, don't be surprised if your girl is late. It doesn't seem fair, but that's the way life. Just show patience and get used to it.
3) Be a gentleman. Open doors for your date. This is an act of respect. That word, "r-e-s-p-e-c-t" is unfortunately lacking among young men today. You will show you're not just another jerk and you'll make a positive impression on your girl should you treat her with respect. Do not curse, don't knock friends. Show her you have some class.
4) Listen to her when she talks. Do not talk about yourself the whole night. Keep quiet and listen closely, genuinely listen to what she says. This will let her know that you're focused on her and it will help you think of something to say next. Don't interrupt, just listen until she stops. Some women will never stop even to breathe, they just talk and talk. When that happens, you just listen. A large percentage of guys have trouble with this, but if you do listen, you'll score major points.
5) Offer to pay for every thing. Do not insist. If the girl you're with wants to pay half, let her. A number of girls feel that when you pay for everything, it's just due to the fact you would like to get into her pants. Maybe you do, but don't be obvious about it, particularly on the very first date. And as an aside, don't take her anyplace out of your price range. You'll just look like an idiot.
6) Drive safely. There may be a a few women who like foolhardy men, but driving fast and furious isn't one of the very best techniques to attract women. Please don't drink and drive. She's not going to be pleased if you have an accident or get pulled over. Don't drive aggressively or flip off other drivers.
These dating suggestions for men may well sound old fashioned, but women like that. Old or young, women want to be made to feel special. Now, how can you get what guys want on your second date?
