The very elusive first date is a lot like your job interview. You have the jitters, you are unaware of what the result is going to be and you try hard to impress in order to emerge successful. While some men are a natural and get an A+, others struggle to even brush past the first look. Knowing the basic things a woman expects can get you through a first date with relative ease.

1. Punctuality

There is a lot that is said and done about punctuality. Make sure you are always on time for a date. Don’t keep the lady waiting. Especially on the first date when impressions really count. Show up early if need be!

2. A well-dressed date

As tempting as it may sound for you to jump to the date venue straight from bed, resist the temptation. Dressing casually or formally is a choice you can make but dress decently. Clean up well and dress to impress. A man that looks good and smells well instantly creates several tick offs on a woman’s list.

3. A small gift

She might feel shy about the gift but she will adore the thought you’ve put into it. And when she gets back home, she is going to look at it and smile. Get her something simple like chocolates or a red rose. If you have known her for a while, though, you can make the gift more personal.

4. A beautiful place

While planning a first date, it is important for both of you to feel comfortable and therefore the place and ambiance play a huge role. Ask her to suggest a place or if she puts the question back to you, make sure you take her to a well ventilated, safe and beautiful place. Dark, dingy places are not the ones for the first dates. Make sure the woman is safe and comfortable in order to spend some time with you.
