We've all been there, first dates are scary. We've experienced the good and the bad and let's face it, the bad ones are hard to forget. One of my worst first dates was the typical dinner and a movie. Besides the fact there wasn't much chemistry between us, the really disappointing part was the fact I was bored out of my mind. First dates are always a little nerve-racking so guys it's your job to set the situation so you both feel comfortable.
Rules for first dates:
1. Never EVER do a first date at home... It is far too casual. There are pressures to be comfortable and let's be honest, you just aren't ready for that yet!
2. Make the plans at least two or three days in advance. It's always good to know your plans ahead of time and besides it shows the girl that you've been time into planning the date out.
3. Do something active! Of course, take your dates interests into mind. If they are anything like me and my friends we would LOVE a date where we could be active. There are so many ideas in this category too! Picnic and fly kites, rock-climbing, laser tag, bike rides, frisbee golf, etc. The possibilities are endless. It's good for both genders because the guy can show off a bit and for us females, well we are always up for a little competition.
4. When you pick her up or are on the way to the date don't ask too personal of questions. Ask things like: How was your day? Anything fun happen today at work or school? Then later on into the date you can ask things about there family or maybe swap childhood memories.
5. Creep her, but just a little. Social media is a very great tool in dating in our generation so why not do your research. First, find out if you have any mutual friends because that always makes the conversations easier! Next, find out her interests because it will give you great ideas for fun dates to take her on.
6. Be clear on what she should wear! Let her know before hand if she needs to wear clothes she can be active in! As a female we are always stressed about what to wear so make it easier on us by giving us a little hint of what we might be going to do.
7. Don't stay out super late. I know we all think its fun to go out all night but let's face it, the next day you'll be exhausted. Try a daytime date. Let me let you in on a secret too, if you drop her back off at home between 8-9 ish pm she will have just enough time to think about how much fun she had with you before she goes to sleep!
8. Don't be afraid to just ask! If you've been talking with her for awhile or have been friends and you know she's single, just ask. Unless you have some issues there is no reason she would turn you down. I know, me, personally I love when a guy has confidence.
Hope this helps any guys that may follow or read my blog. It's literally a fool proof way to impress a girl on a first date!
XOXO
