How to Make Yourself Attractive to Women Online - Part 6 - The First Date

When you are ready to actually go out on a first date, after exchanging Emails through your dating site, you need to mentally prepare yourself, and plan the event very much from start to finish, if you want it to go smoothly. Here are some rules that you should try to adhere to.

1. Limit the time of the first meeting. This is important as if it is a complete disaster, then you have an excuse to leave and if it is going well, you can leave with the other person wanting more, which will ensure another meeting. How you limit the meeting is up to you, but while writing to arrange it, you can think up some reason, and usually this will go unchallenged.

2. A lunchtime date is often very good if you want to limit the amount of time you spend, and in saying this, I don't mean meeting for lunch as surprisingly a lot of people don't like eating with strangers, so you could arrange for a drink or a walk, depending on what you have found out about each other.

3. Location is extremely important, so wherever you choose to meet, make sure that you will be able to talk to each other without too many distractions. Coffee shops, bookshops, parks and quiet pubs, are ideal for this.

4. Never suggest going to the pictures (movies) as this means sitting through a film together without communicating, which rather defeats the object of the date.

5. Never suggest a private meeting in a house, as this may "freak" a lady out. People are very aware of the dangers of dating these days, so go for a place where you can be assured of a lot of people; and never mention the dangers of meeting somewhere quiet as this could make you sound a bit strange. Remember this is the first date and although you have written or maybe chatted live, you still don't know each other.

6. What to wear on that first date is important, but I would strongly suggest that you don't go for anything other than what you would normally wear to go out. You want to feel comfortable about yourself, and maintaining your usual look will keep you relaxed.

Finally, the first date is usually make or break time between two members, but don't get too despondent if it doesn't work out, because if you keep contacting other members, one of them will be right for you.
