The Guy-de To Impressing A Man On A Date

Dating-Chispa MagazineGoing on a date with somebody is a nerve-wracking ordeal. Whether you know the person or it’s a blind date, the feelings of anxiety and trepidation regarding the unknown always end up eating away at you. You don’t want to open with some corny line, or, perhaps even worse, by saying something completely embarrassing. Still, the important thing to remember is that your future date is likely just as nervous about the evening as you are. The key is to remain calm and follow some simple steps to ensure that you impress on this big night. Here’s the guy-de to impressing a man on a date.

Fashion
Fashion is probably the number one thing on your mind for this date; you’ll be fretting endlessly over what you’re going to wear. The key to this choice is not to overthink it. You could check out Anthonys clothing if you want to see a simple but colorful range of clothes; that’s the perfect wardrobe, after all. Fashion should complement your existing appearance; it shouldn’t detract from who you are and how you look. You don’t need to overdo it with an outfit in order for it to look great. Minimalism is in because minimalism is always in. It’s the only fashion trend which never goes out of fashion. Choosing a dress which is objectively pretty with cute patterns or trims and a captivating color is always a safe but exciting idea, simultaneously. You obviously don’t want to play things so safe that you choose a boring outfit.

Beauty
Some people say that once you can tell somebody’s wearing makeup then it’s no longer makeup. That’s always a good guide as to how you should carry out your beauty regime. Nobody is ever completely “natural”. Your date will put time and effort into making himself look nice, and you’ll put time and effort into making yourself look nice. If you want to master your beauty regime before a date, however, you need to keep things calm and casual. Go for natural-looking makeup which accentuates all your best features and conceals perhaps any acne, blemishes, or flaws that you’d rather not reveal on a first date. Choose between eyes and lips; one should pop, and the other should not. It’s a good rule of thumb.

Listen
It’s a two-way street. If your date ends up talking constantly and not listening to you once throughout the entire night then this is obviously a clear sign that there will never be a second date, but you also don’t want to be that person. It’s so important to listen because the only effort it requires is your attention and it always impresses the person who’s talking. People like to be listened to, and you’d most likely agree with that. Show that you’re interested in your date, and they’ll be interested in listening to you too.

Don’t Assume Stereotypes
Yes, this article may have been all about how to impress guys on dates, but everybody is an individual. This is a more of a general guide regarding date etiquette, and one of the most important things you could do to impress your male date is to show that you don’t expect all the traditional, old-fashioned stereotypes. You don’t expect him to pay the bill, and you may not expect him to walk you home either. It’ll help your date relax if you put all of that on the table straight away because he’s probably fretting over all those things too.
