7 Attributes of an Awesome Wingwoman
To all the single ladies out there — have you ever had a dull or awkward moment during a date where you felt like you need a magical zinger to keep the date going strong? Well, all you needed was a wingwoman! Everyone who knows a thing or two about dating knows just how crucial a good wingperson is for a successful date.
When it comes down to it, a good wingwoman is your cheerleader. She saves you from awkward situations, looks out for you and tells you that guy is someone to hold on to and never let go. Here, are 7 things that make an awesome wingwoman:
She’s taken.
When a wingwoman is already taken and in a healthy relationship, she is experienced in the dating scene and poses little to no competition to you on your immediate date. Having that wisdom as to what worked for her (hence how she got the perfect man) she is most able to listen to your needs and help you discern whether the man you’re dating is perfect for you!
She knows you inside and out.
A good wingwoman should know you well, and have the strongest bond with you out of any girlfriend you have. She could be your childhood friend, your BFF from your highschool days or your #maingal. She is able to tailor her approach to you rather than merely provide generic advice. She is most useful when you want a personal ambiance to your date.
She’s supportive.
This wingwoman always has your back no matter what transpires during your date. She gives you unspoken signals when you’re unsure what to do next, i.e., whether you should go on a second date with him or pass him your number. She is your personal cheerleader and is an excellent source of motivation, whether things go right or wrong!
She’s charming
She knows how to charm your date but only to the degree where his focus still stays on you and not on her. She is adept at switching the focus of a drifting conversation over to you whilst helping you and your date feel at ease with each other.
She’s flexible!
She is anything but high-maintenance! A good wingwoman tends to be very easy-going and will adapt to any direction your date takes without complaining about how this might ruin her plans the next morning, i.e., her morning yoga class, having to head into work the following day. You would feel exhilarated to have her by your side as she is quite literally a breath of fresh air when you think your date is going a little stale at specific points.
She tells it like it is
She gives you blunt advice with no layering involved. Sometimes the blunt truth is better than advice peppered with niceties. It helps you allocate more time to dates with a conceivable future (if that’s what you’re looking for) rather than ones with none.
She deals with stress like a champ.
She can stay calm in high-pressure situations. After all, sometimes you might find your dates taking a turn for the sour, e.g., an argument that breaks out between you and your partner. So a wingwoman who can stay calm no matter what helps keep you both level-headed.
