The 7 Golden Rules to a Great First Date

In this article I’ll talk about 7 things to do in order to leave a good impression and have an awesome first date.
One question I get all the time in my inbox is “how a man must act on the first date?”
Most of the guys who ask me this question, think that giving women flowers and gifts make women fall in love.
But that’s not true. Almost no woman likes these things (keep reading and you’ll learn why is that)
So here are 7 killer tips to make a woman fall in love with you since the first date. Some of them may seem counterintuitive, but trust me – I use them all the time and the results I get are truly awesome.
#1. Don’t Try to Win Her Over
Most men tend to do this over and over- they try to win a woman’s affection through gifts, flowers and compliments. What they don’t know is that these things lead to the “let just be friends zone“.
So, don’t try to seduce women on the first date. Not giving your power away is something that makes you different from the other guys.
So, don’t seduce her…
…attract her instead.
Remember that during the first date, she’s still deciding whether you want to spend more time with you… so, you too show this mindset.
… and never act in a way that shows that you’re trying to win her over. Don’t loose your power.
#2. Confuse Her!
A good thing to do on a first date is to tell her that you are “only looking forward to making a friend if nothing else”, as David DeAngelo says.
If you show her that you have no expectations, you won’t come off just as another guy who’s trying to get her into bed. In other words…
… when you confuse women, you create attraction between you and her!
… the best part of it, is that nobody else does this…
… because she knows that every guy she dates, only wants “to seduce her”.
#3. Don’t Buy Her Gifts/Expensive Dinners
Look, if you don’t want to fall in the “let’s just be friend” zone, don’t do many nice things for her at the beginning. This ruins first date’s goal… create attraction between both of you!
If you give her gifts and buy her expensive dinners since the first date, she’ll start believing that these things are the only thing you have to offer.
Remember, you’re only looking forward to making a friend first (then get her into bed, of course)– so don’t buy her gifts…
…that’s what friends (not lovers) do!
#4. Build Rapport
Another tip to a great first date is to find some subject that she enjoys talking about. To discover those things she loves, ask her open-ended questions, just like:
- … How do you feel when….?
- … What do you think about…?
- … Have you ever feel like…?
Avoid questions she can answer with a “no” or a “yes” – these types of questions don’t help you to keep the conversation going.
The point of building rapport is to ask her question that makes her talk about feelings, something that she loves. Not just her feelings… but every kind of feelings.
Another tip is to try to keep her laughing during the first date and make her have a good time.
The first date isn’t a job interview.
#5. Joke and Tease Her
I’ve seen a lot of guys at Starbucks treating women like goddesses when they’re on a date.
Wrong! They need to tease them and joke with them way more.
So, find things to tease her about. The truth is that beautiful women love when you tease them because it shows confidence. This shows that you’re a guy who is in control of the situation and is confident enough to bust her balls – something extremely attractive to hotties. A few tips are:
- Say cocky and funny things.
- Bust her balls every time you can.
- Treat her like you little sister- don’t give her what she wants and make fun of her.
#6. Don’t Compliment Her on the First Date
Remember: A hot woman wants a challenge… a guy she can’t have!
When you compliment a woman it shows that you’re interested in her and that she can have you. Instead of complimenting, the best things to do on a first date are:
- To Relax
- Acting like she’s your best friend
- To have a lean back type of attitude
#7. Talk About Interesting Topics
If something completely destroys your chances of getting a second date, talking about boring stuff would go first one in the list.
The best things to talk about on a first date are “drama, comedy and scandal” says David deAngelo, “these are things women enjoy talking about with their friends”, he says. So, avoid boring topics like:
- The weather
- The guys she has dated in the past.
- School
- Your/her job
- Family
These were my 7 tips to a great first date. I’d suggest you to print this article and paste it somewhere you can read it.
It’s really important to do these things on the first date if you want to get a second one.
