Dating Advice For Men

One of life's great pleasures is finding that special woman who you would like to get to know better. There is a sense of anticipation, longing and of course some dread that all men know only to well. You all know this feeling just before you ask her to go out on a date with you. And until you actually ask her and she says yes there's not much you can do to subdue those feelings.

Now, one piece of advice about asking a woman to go on a date. Try to ask her out when you have a moment alone with her. Making this extra effort could well be the difference between her saying yes or getting the big rejection in front of her friends, or even worse, in front of your friends. Nobody likes to get shot down in front of others.

Once you have asked her out and she has said yes here are some tips for you first date.

1. Looking Good: Let's face it, the reason you asked her out was because you were physically attracted to her. You should make every effort to look your best for her on your first date. Shower, shave, primp and preen yourself because she will be doing the same for you. The first date is about first impressions and if you blow it here there will not be a second date. The most important thing to remember is to dress appropriately for the type of date you have arranged. Don't wear a 3 piece suit to a casual dinner at a beachside restaurant.

2. Be Punctual: Like was said above, first impressions are everything on a first date. If you are going to show up late you might as well not even show up. Have all your plans for your date finalized no later than the day before. You don't want to be rushing around trying to arrange dinner reservations an hour before you are to pick her up.

3. Her Name: Call her by her name when you first pick her up and remember to use her name during conversation through out your date.

4. Good Manners: This is along the same lines of using her name. Compliment her and how she looks. Make her feel special and she will make you feel the same. And whatever you do don't answer your cell phone, pager, or start using a PDA. Either turn that stuff off or better yet leave it at home. All your attention should be on her and interruptions are not allowed.

5. Show Her Your Sense of Humor: Nothing makes for a great date better than some good laughter. If you can tickle her funny bone in a positive way then your date will be a success. You want her to remember how much fun she had on her first date with you.

6. Don't Stress: You have to be as relaxed as possible on a first date. This can be hard when the date first begins but as it progresses and the conversation flows chances are you will forget that you were nervous at all. Just be yourself, after all, that's what you are both finding out about each other.

Dating can be a fun and exciting time in your life. If you follow these six simple tips it will be all that and much more. Have fun and enjoy your time with her on this first date. If you do that chances are there will be a second and third date. After that? Well that's up to you.
