How a Man Can Prepare For the First Date
Remember - being a gentleman is an essential part of manhood.
With fewer role models it is tougher for young men to cultivate qualities of a gentleman.
Here are some tips that can help you before heading out for that date.
First of all, you have to look like a gentleman to be a gentleman.
Self respect is the name of the game.
Good grooming is a sign that you respect yourself.
Be clean and neat, strive to make a good first impression.
You also have to be courteous and respectful.
Walk up to the lady and look into her eyes.
Then speak words - not sounds (no clearing of the throats or other sounds).
Don't panic.
Take a deep breath and speak clearly with interest.
Be interested in things other than getting her in bed.
Women are tired of men who have only one thing on their mind.
As you converse with her, listen.
Introduce yourself to her and have a real conversation planned.
Smooth lines work for some but sincere conversation is gold.
Ask follow-up questions and really listen to her response.
In case you run in to someone you know while you are with her, make sure you introduce her - remember the woman is introduced first.
Women tend to think you don't introduce them because you are ashamed or trying to "mack" the other girl.
Stop fronting.
Avoid profanity - it's just not attractive, and slang like "my dog" "dude" is out of bounds.
Don't betray her confidence, if your gentlemanly moves advance your relationship, whether it is a kiss at the end of the night then remember that a gentleman never tells.
It's not a game, so play-by-play is out of bounds.
The word "gentleman" is "defined as a man of distinction" some simple steps can make you stand out.
After all this and more go ahead with you date.
I wish you all the best.
