THE FIRST
IMPRESSION
They say that the first impression is
the last impression. Therefore it is very important that when
you meet your potential date your appearance, body language,
profile should be perfect. Whatever you do should be
distinctly unique and fascinating. Following tips will come in
handy for making the impressive first impression.
1.
Relax. Just play it cool. Don’t panic and
try to be yourself. People are perceived as more attractive
when they are having a good time.
2. Smile Remember a smiling face is what people want to see.
So don’t go on a date with a serious face. A serious face
gives all the wrong impressions, so keep smiling.
3. Don't knock yourself out trying to be
clever. Whatever you do please don’t try to hard to show
something that you are not. You might just be making a fool of
yourself.
4. Be less-than perfect. Don’t
try to show that you are Miss Perfect. Be careful not to
praise your many virtues to the point of boredom, or even
suspicion. No one can be that perfect. Your minor faults and
charming inconsistencies make you human, interesting and
approachable.
5. Avoid sending up red flags.
Don't
whine, complain or drivel on about any problems in your life.
Refrain from casting yourself in the role of the victim or the
depressed soul. Be positive and optimistic. Chaos, depression
and drama aren't attractive attributes.
6. The eyes have it. As
they say "The eyes are the window to the soul." Thus while you
are talking to your date look into his eyes while talking and
listen deeply and intensely. Pay attention to your date and
don’t look off to the side or at another person.
7. Say it with style. What
you say may not be as important as how you say it. Play with
language. Be smart and creative.
8. Use the magic touch. A
slight touch of the hand conveys a lot. So when you shake
hands make the grip firm and confident. It’s also fine to
reach out and give a casual pat on the first date. If he is
interested in you he will also touch you back.
9. Picture perfect. While
clothes don't make the man (or woman), no one wants to appear
shoddy or unkempt. Comb your hair, brush your teeth, slap on
that coat of lipstick, and don't wear clothes with holes, even
if you're just going to the grocery store. Men like women who
know how to take care of themselves.
10. Slouch not. Just
as good posture shows confidence, slouching or standing with
your arms folded across your chest sends an insecure message.
Arms that are out and away from you convey that you are
interested.
11. Be yourself. This
is most important. Don't say you're a vegetarian if you really
eat meat. Don’t try to do something just because you want to
impress your date. Be sincere and truthful.
12. Close with confidence. Lastly
make the other person feel that you had a great time. Offer
your hand for a shake and say with assurance (not necessary if
the date was a disaster), "It's been nice talking to you. Lets
meet up again and do something great together." This will
definitely leave your man wanting for
more. |
