8 First Date Tips for Women
First dates are all about getting to the second date. Here's how to make him fall all over himself for a second date with you
By Lauren Frances
Special to Yahoo! Personals Updated: Jan 17, 2008
As a love coach, I've heard the following question more times than I can remember:
"What happened? I'm so confused. At first, he seemed to really like me. He made reservations, picked me up, and took me to a fabulous restaurant. But for some reason, over the course of dinner, he became a little cold and distant. By the time he dropped me off, he seemed withdrawn and just sped off into the night. I haven't heard from him since! And I really liked him. I'm so bummed! What do you think happened?"
Does this sound familiar to you? If so, you may have broken some cardinal first-date rules without knowing it. Here are eight tips to ensure that a first date will turn into a second if you'd really like it to:
Tip 1. Don't be negative about dating.
Why should a man pursue someone who isn't happy? It's ineffective manhandling to dump your dating disappointments on bachelor No. 3. Talking to a man about how awful dating is just begs the question, "Are you in therapy?"
Manhandling Tip: Be a romantic challenge, not a mental health challenge.
Tip 2. Don't get tipsy.
Always maintain enough sobriety to assess your date's character. Practice restraint, and don't have more than a drink or two when you're out on a first date. Otherwise, how in the world can you possibly observe him and decide if he's remotely right for you?
Manhandling Tip: Always stay sober enough to remember how naughty you were the night before!
Tip 3. Don't talk badly about your exes.
I don't care if he cheated on you with your sister, don't recite a laundry list of grievances about your exes. This will only make you sound unavailable at best, or worse, wounded.Reveal your secrets when you're both on a beach in Hawaii or, better yet, engaged!
Manhandling Tip: We all have baggage. Keep it in the closet on first dates.
Tip 4. Don't spook your suitor.
Now is not the time to point out your physical flaws. Only bring these complaints to people who can actually do something about them, and not to men who will now be forced to lie to you if they possess good manners.
Manhandling Tip: Confidence is sexy! Sometimes, thoughts are for the inside.
Tip 5. Don't talk about your personal pet peeves.
Although your therapist might get butterflies inside when you talk about how traumatized you are by the staggering number of germs that thrive in public restrooms, the typical male will be horrified. You'll have violated the sacred air space of "romantic quality time" and these little monologues of strange pain will be as off-putting as if you started sorting unwashed laundry in a restaurant.
Manhandling Tip: You already know all about you. Keep your problems to yourself and get to know him.
Tip 6. Don't chase your date.
Never deprive a man of the thrill of the chase. Besides, it's so much fun being caught! A woman can always initiate a first tea date, but after that, it's up to a man to decide whether he wants to pursue you. Entice men, play with them, and then release them! Allow men to initiate and take the lead in moving your relationship forward.
Manhandling Tip: When men chase you, they're much less likely to fly away.
Tip 7. Don't keep squawking.
Don't feel pressured to try to fill up every second with meaningless chatter. If the conversation falls silent for a moment, don't panic, just let it happen. Natural pauses are sexy, and body language can be so much more powerful than words. Slowly smile at him and breathe. You may be surprised when he blurts out in the middle of a deliciously pregnant pause, "Come here and kiss me!"
Manhandling Tip: Remember, sometimes less conversation really is more.
Tip 8. Learn how to leave.
Anyone can be pleasant when they're enjoying themselves, but the true test of character is how one behaves when terribly bored, or worse, treated shabbily. There's nothing to be gained by suffering through a terrible date, so if you're having an awful time, depart quickly and gracefully, without being rude. When you're itching to leave, say: "Thank you so much for meeting me. I think it's time for me to go on home, Jerome. (Smile) Take care." Extend your hand for a quick shake, swiftly turn on your heel and depart.
Romantic Rule: If you're on date number one and aren't having fun, release men back into the wild immediately.

I always find these articles amusing. I mean, the most important piece of advice is always missing: BE YOURSELF.
I'm sure a guy doesn't want to be with someone who is trying to be something they're not. If you date doesn't work out, that's a good thing in the long run.

Love is unfair, well actually love can be anything But in my opinion the most important rule for someone to chase love is Courage...to be hurt, disappointed, to sacrifice, to accept whatever happen with you... :mrgreen:
thanks for the advice. i really need this.
thankyou so much
LOL I've been reading all this :P there's a guy I really like, but we're really good friends and I'm worried if I say anything and he doesn't feel the same way things will get awkward and it'll hurt our friendship :S
Wah it's hard *pulls at hair*

true. I wouldn't want to date a guiy who doesn't like the real me. though those guidelines may not reveal the real you on your first date but atleast it will help you to have a 2nd encounter with the guy to know him more :mrgreen:

I understand you.. i was in the same situation before.. okay so here's my advice.. first of all try weighing your feelings.. what's more important your friendship or your feelings towards him? if it's the friendshipe then I advice that you should just keep that feelings of yours.. ut if you think that your feelings is more important or should i say so strong .. then take the risk!! love is all about courage as the previous post say.. ne? and if things didn't work out.. you can always go back being friends.. it may take time for the two of you to bring back the same friendship .. so be patient.. and atleast you tried..so no regrets..
Hey Kisarazu thanks for that ^_^ I've been thinking... me actually saying something is what needs to happen really, as if I don't have a definite answer I am the kind of person who won't move on ><
It's just every time I agree in my mind I'm gonna do it, something says he's one of your best if not your best friend what if it goes wrong? It is hard! wah
He's pretty shy, maybe I'll get the courage to send a valentine's card :P
Gosh I'm lame haha...
We'll see how things go, then I'll post here again :P :fingerscrossed:

If he's your best friend, then revealing your feelings to him shouldn't ruin your friendship, especially if you assure him that you're okay if the answer is no.
