Impress Men On First Dates

Too often, women are confused as to why their first dates tend to go awry when they're sure that they did everything right.

But if you want to wow 'em on a first date, here's what you need to do to ensure that the only reason he didn't call is because he's just not that into you; not because you did any of the following.

WAYS TO IMPRESS MEN ON FIRST DATES

1- MIND YOUR TABLE MANNERS

The other night, I was out with the girls having a nice dinner and a bottle of wine, when I spied the woman next to me on what looked like a first date with a pretty interesting fellow.

Trying not to seem obvious, I noticed that the woman was pushing the remains of her salad onto her fork with her thumb and index finger, and I could tell that the guy was not impressed.

Always remember to mind your table manners at the table. I'm not talking about elbows and such; just the basic. Don't use your fingers when your dish calls for a fork and knife; don't slurp, don't bite off so much food that one side of your face looks like you're storing nuts.

Oh, and don't talk with food in your mouth; it's nasty.

2- LISTEN TO HIM

I can't tell you how many guys tell me that their date never shut up and never once inquired about him and his interests.

Ask questions and "to his answers. If he says he loves surfing, asking about some of the places he hasn't yet surfed but that he'd like to visit. Show him that you're a listener and not a woman who simply waits to talk.

3- DONT TELL HIM YOUR LIFE STORY

Sure, it's possible that your life s incredibly interesting and perhaps you've traveled the world twice, but a first date is not a time to reveal everything about yourself. Show me an open book and I'll show you a book that no one is reading.

Share some anecdotes and give him a glimpse into what you're like, but do not, under any circumstances reveal your insecurities or everything that makes you tick.

4- LAUGH

Unless your date doesn't have a sense of humor, there's no reason for you not to relax and share a laugh or two. Don't be so uppity and give in to your silly side during a first date.

Men love a woman who is happy and outgoing, and isn't afraid to laugh out loud when the moment calls for it. Just don't snort; guys don't think that's cute.

5- AVOID COMPLAINING

Maybe you were stuck in traffic and maybe your cat coughed up a hairball on the dress you wanted to wear, but showing him the "complaining" side of yourself on a first date won't likely score you any points.

Even if he's complaining about things (which will likely turn you off anyway), try to avoid giving in to the negative side of your life and try to maintain an upbeat air about yourself.
