Dating Tips for Men

Bathe
This may sound cheeky but the worst thing you could do when going out on a date (especially if it is your first date with her) is to turn up unshaven, looking dirty and smelling. Women are the cleaner of the specious and will judge you on how hygienic you are, after all you would be appalled if she turned up for the date looking like a hippie that hadn't bathed for a while (no offence). It doesn't cost to take a bath and make an effort. Remember bad breath and body odour are an instant turn off and she will assume that this is how you are all the time even if you are just have a bad day (hey girls have bad hair days all the time) she won`t see beyond your appearance.

Arrive on time
The worst thing you can do is turn up late. Turning up late will send out all the wrong impressions that you definitely don`t won`t her to think. Women always assume the worse and one of the worst is turning up late, not only will she think that she has been stood up but will also think that you are unreliable. If you are picking her up from her home then it is advisable to turn up 5 minute before you are due any earlier she will be adjusting her make up or still getting ready and won`t want you to see her half finished and turning up late... well just don`t.

Be a Gentleman
Hold the door open for her, let her walk through the doors first, pull her chair, be polite to her and people around you. Women like to feel special and by treating her like a lady she will think you are fantastic.
 

Compliment Her
The first thing to say to her is you look beautiful before you even ask how she is. Keep up the complements throughout your date such as: "your hair looks nice I like the colour of it, your eyes are very sparkly etc.. But do not go over board. A woman loves to be complimented, feel sexy gorgeous/beautiful and that you are attracted to her.

Listen to her and ask questions
No body wants to spend the whole night listening to someone talk about themselves or not listening to what the other person is saying. But you do have to get to know each other. Ask her questions but more importantly listen to what she has to say. There is nothing more that a women likes is when someone is interested in what they have to say. "I remember once I was sitting in a restaurant waiting for some friends. There was a man and women sitting at the table next to mine and I couldn't help over hearing their conversation (rather his talking of himself). I could tell it was their first date from what he was telling her about himself". "I play Saturday league football, I like boxing". He want on like this for about 10 minutes without stopping or asking her questions and she was just sitting there nodding slightly every so often and looking bored. That day left an impact on me and every time I have went on a date I have been conscious of the woman and took an interest in what she had to say. This probably the best bit of advice I could give.

Prepare
The last thing you want is to be sitting having a meal and the conversation dry`s up and you are left for the rest of the night bored with each other. Think about your date and what you would like to know about her and in return what you would like her to know about you. Try and think of any questions that she might ask you so that you can prepare the answer. You think that it is easy to talk and that you will not run out of questions to ask or that you will automatically have the answers but until you are there and in the situation you have no idea what it is like. You can avoid all of this by meeting for a quick drink then go on to see a film so at least you will have something to talk about.

Who will pay?
This is a really tough question as now women are more independent and like to pay their way. I suggest that you offer to pay and if she lets you then pay. If she wants to pay you can argue that you want to or at least pay for half the bill. If she offers to split again you can argue (that is if you want to) but if she insists on splitting then let her pay half.

The goodnight kiss
Some women prefer not to kiss after a date, others are disappointed if they guy doesn't even try. There is no easy answer to this.
The only answer I can come up with is wait until either she makes the first move or that you both know when you are ready. Watch for body language and little touches but I would not advice sex on the first date unless she wants to.

I`ll call you
Only tell her that you will call her if you mean it and intend on seeing her again. This is an awkward situation and most of the time the easiest solution is to take her number and tell her you will call her but don`t if you are not interested. When saying goodbye just say "It was nice meeting you" and wish her luck or you could just say good night, smile and walk a way. But if you do like her and are interested then you have to let her know.
