Advice For Women First 15 Minutes Of A Date
Should I be fashionably late for a first date?
I don't think a woman should intentionally be late for a first date. In a big city like Los Angeles with insane traffic, it happens. But to intentionally plan to be late is showing disrespect for the person you're meeting. Try to be on time for the date. If you're there a little bit before him, it gives you a chance to pose and look sexy when he comes in the door.
What attitude should I try to convey on a first date?
It's all about attitude on a first date. Be friendly. Be happy. Be enthusiastic to be there. That's all. Just enjoy yourself. Attitude is key.
Should I hug or kiss my date when I greet him?
How you greet your date when you first meet him depends on what your relationship was building up to this. Is this someone that you've met previously at a party and this is a first date? Is this an online date and it's the first time you're meeting him? Is it three weeks of conversation before you get there? It depends on how comfortable you feel with him and who you are. I have women that don't feel comfortable at all with any contact but a handshake. I am a little more friendly and often give someone a hug or, if I feel I've gotten to know them very well, I would give him a kiss on the cheek. I spend a lot of time in Europe, so that's a little more common. Do what's comfortable for you on the first date and express how you feel.
What if I'm not attracted to my date?
This is why it's so important to choose wisely when choosing a location for the first date and what kind of date it's going to be. If it's someone you met and had a bit to drink that night, maybe you want to make it a short quick date for a cup of coffee. If you're not attracted to him, you can leave. If it's someone on the Internet, you don't want to spend a lot of time on the date, so if you're not attracted to him just enjoy your time. You can find something interesting about anyone. If it's not a good date, it's a great story.
How should I steer the conversation during the first 15 minutes of a first date?
In the first 15 minutes of the date you should have no trouble letting the conversation flow. If you get to a point where you feel like you need to steer the conversation, ask him some questions about himself. Remember, the goal is to find out if this is somebody you really want to get to know. If he starts talking about something that is uncomfortable - maybe his ex-girlfriend - you could steer him back in another direction. Otherwise, I think it's a good idea just to let things flow on a date.
