First dates are make-or-break situations for two people. The date can either progress in a fantastic way or end up in a horrible or pretty embarrassing moment. In this occasion the ladies are almost always critical of the guys. But, hey, this event involves not only one but two people and that means you and the guy. So, remember ladies the cute guys are also screening your attitude up. If you really like the guy asking you out, there are ways you can make an impression on him and win him over on the first date.

First and foremost, appreciate his efforts. The guy went out of his way to reserve a table in a restaurant for you or take you to a really beautiful place. Telling him that you like the view or that the food tastes great will make the guy feel some relief. Take note that planning a date can put a lot of pressure on the guys. Hence, a sign of gratitude will always makes for a nice start.

First dates are usually filled with awkward moments. Embrace this awkwardness and turn it into a relaxing situation. Acknowledge both your anxiousness and laugh off the situation. If the guy looks nervous, find a way to draw him to his comfort zone and that will make him feel great.

Avoid irritating actions like taking calls and doing text messaging. This is a sure signal to the guy that you are not interested. In cases when you are, don’t grill the guy of every bit of information as if you are the police. Asking the guy everything from his education, career, parents, hobbies and so much more is not flattering at all.

Lastly, provide positive reinforcement. If you had a great time during the date, tell the guy so. It offers them a clue of snagging another yes on the second date.
