Be yourself

Being yourself sounds easy doesn’t it? You need to find a balance between speaking honestly about yourself while impressing her. If you put on an act from the word go and sustain it for a long period of time, they will expect certain behaviours from you every time. Believe me blokes, you will find it easier being straight up about your faults from the beginning instead of trying to hide them. She will be more likely to accept them and you if you are honest!

Do not over commit

The new age single women do not want Prince Charming coming in on the first date and starting up a commitment conversation. You should definitely try to avoid saying “I love you” or “when we have kids”. 9 times out of 10, she will not be impressed, she will be terrified. If you want to scare her away, however …

Have a backup

One of the rare occasions when having computer sense transfers over to the real world of romance and women. Having a backup may be the biggest lifesaver during a date, especially if it is a blind date. This tip obviously swings both ways – savvy single girls do exactly the same thing. In any case, it is important that you have it planned out before the date. On the sly let your mate know that you need to jump ship and just excuse yourself politely from the date.

Some things you need to look out for in a woman:

Now here are some things that you need to look out for, in order to figure out if the date has potential or if you’ll be calling in your backup.

Eye contact

If she does not hold eye contact while having a conversation with you then that would be the first subtle hint that there may be no interest. Another thing to look out for is if she keeps looking somewhere else and always asks you to repeat yourself.

First impressions last

This point is about the way she is dressed. If it looks as if she put at least some effort into grooming herself in preparation for the date, then that impression would last as a good one. But if she comes dressed inappropriately for the occasion, then you will have a bad image of her forever. This tip swings both ways – if you rock up in a flanno, stubbies and thongs she will never forget.

Humour

A girl with a stone face is going to be hard to be with. 99.9% of the time you both will laugh about something because it’s funny to both of you, not just one of you. If you’re telling a funny or embarrassing story and she doesn’t laugh (or vice versa), then you are in big trouble and it is time to bail. The earlier you detect this lack of “humour chemistry” the less painful it is going to be.

Just to remind you that romance is not locked on paper and that events and situations change people. You might be the perfect single man for your partner but some situation is preventing the romance to commence. If you seek professional advice for a long term relationship please contact us to help you look for the one.
