Preparing for the first date

Here we are. We’ve met a woman we’d like to get to know better. Maybe it started off as friends, and you two have never spent time alone together on an official date.

Or maybe this will be the first time you will be seeing each other since you’ve met, however that may have been. If this relationship turns long term, the first date will always be remembered. And there can only be a second date if the first one is successful.

What is the purpose of the first date? In a way that you may not realize, it’s a way to comfort each other and prove that this could be something more. It’s the first impression of what your company will feel like. This is why it’s so important, we have to make this impression perfect.

Going into this date blind is not wise. Preparation is required. This may sound ridiculous to some and if that person is you, don’t waste her time. A mature relationship will always require effort and the first date is a chance to show off your dedication.

Let’s begin the preparation. Picking her up is the only way the first date, or any, should begin. Don’t ask her to meet you somewhere. Prove you are willing to go the extra mile, always.

Let’s not overdo this, keep it simple. Use your own method of transportation. Hiring a driver is over the top and is something that comes later after you are more comfortable with each other. Clean your vehicle inside and out. Make it presentable and make it smell nice.

From here on the preparation depends on the night you have planned. Notice the “you” there. As a gentleman, it’s our job to orchestrate the evening. However, while it is our job to make the decisions, we need to take our woman’s tastes and interests into consideration. This gives us a chance to show off our own tastes, while proving we are considerate and thoughtful.

When we are showing off our taste, we want to show off our fashion. Any good first date will require a dress code. A classy evening will only escalate our chances of success. If a woman is interested in you, she will adore the chance to dress up. Just like you, they realize they need to make an effort in anyone that can be worth it.

The point of the first date is to get to know each other. As said above, it’s the first impression of what it will be like to be in each other’s company. So here is the question, how will we know what that’s like if the first date involves a movie? Two hours of silence is the most incorrect way of getting to know each other. A movie should never be included in the first date.

What should be? Dinner. A perfect evening always includes fine dining from a restaurant with a reputation. It’s true what you’ve heard: food brings people together. Conversation is unavoidable and everyone loves good tasting food. Chain restaurants shall be avoided at all costs. Such taste would only tell her that you are generic and unable to make bold decisions.
