Ever been on an awful date? You know, those that make you wish for a fast-forward button? All of us have been there. Do not worry. You are not alone. Let’s take a look at a few tips and tricks for making your love life seem less like a drama and more like an rom-com. Read more now on online dating accounts.
The first thing is to be confident. No one wants a date with someone who appears to be about to face an execution squad. Take your shoulders back with a smile and hold up your head. Confidence has nothing to do with being the most outspoken person. It’s all about being comfortable and confident in yourself.
Let’s discuss some conversation starters. “So, What do you work?” It’s probably the most overused phrase in history. Instead, do something unique or unexpected. You could ask them to share their favorite childhood memory. Or, what superpower they would like if they had one. These questions can create more memorable and interesting conversations.
When it comes to conversation, try listening more than speaking. Nobody likes a talker who only speaks about herself. Show genuine interest to what your date says. Show genuine interest by nodding, making eye contact, or asking follow-ups questions. Listening well can lead you to amazing places.
It’s often more important to listen to body language than what you say! Crossing your arms may signal discomfort or defensiveness. Do not stare them down. Instead, maintain an open posture with appropriate eye contact.
Humor is the key to any successful date. You can share light-hearted stories or jokes, but stay away from anything too dark and controversial early on. The use of laughter is a great icebreaker that helps you build rapport.
You can also dress comfortably and stylishly for dates. You don’t necessarily need designer labels, just something that makes your feel comfortable but still presentable for the date.
Select your destination carefully! Choose a coffee shop that’s cozy or a museum with interesting exhibits over crowded bars.
Follow-ups can be just as important to a first impression as it is when things go smoothly (fingers crossed)! You can send them a message thanking them and expressing your enjoyment. Don’t overwhelm them by sending messages every few hours!
It’s not just the red flags that deserve to be mentioned here! If they’re rude with waitstaff, or are constantly on their phone while eating… run faster than Usain bolt at the Olympics! Because these behaviors do not change over time.
Online dating is another thing altogether. Clear photos (no selfies in the bathroom please!) and honest bios are all you need to make a great profile. The best bios are honest and free from cliches. “I like long walks on the beach” is no longer acceptable.
