How to Make a Good First Impression on a Date

It's good to see that you're going on your first date. The effort you took to get this date has paid off, and now you need help on what you should say to keep the person interested.

1Be yourself. Don't pretend to be someone or something you're not because this will hurt your cause down the road if you end up in a long term relationship with this person. Instead just be yourself and let your date see the real you and let them decide if they like you for who you really are. Most people can spot a fake a mile away so when it comes to dating, honesty is the best policy.

2) Break the ice When you're on a first date and trying to make a good impression don't share any details that you think would be too personal, instead share only what you feel comfortable sharing. Talk about your hobbies, your likes and dislikes, what movies you like and any other interests you have.

3) Smile. That's right, smile sometimes with your date. This can help you and your date to release nervous tension you may have built up before and during your date. Smiling helps you to relax and become more comfortable with each other. So go ahead, try it! It won't hurt. Your date will probably love your beautiful or handsome smile.

4) Make your date feel secure. One of the best ways to make a good first impression on a date is to make sure that your date feels comfortable around you. There are several ways to do this and there are many ideas out there for you to try but the main thing is that you need to do an activity that engages both of you and gets you talking so a dinner and movie is out the window. Instead try going to an animal shelter so that your date can see your softer side or go to an amusement park if you want to let your wild side show. The key point to remember is that if you're not engaging your date then they won't be at ease with you and you probably won't get a second date with them.

5) Don't compromise your values. It's important that you don't get a second chance to make a first impression so you've got to make it count! Remain true to who you are and what your values are. Your date will respect you for your integrity and you'll score a few points as well because they know that you're someone who can be trusted and where there's trust you'll also find security and love.

I've given you 5 ways that will help make a good first impression when you go on a first date. Now that you know what they are get a pen and piece of paper and start planning out your date because if you fail to plan you plan to fail.
