9 tips to make your date night dinner a success 😊👍
⠀
Fail To Prepare
⠀
Like interviews, speeches and arriving at a far away airport with no Wi-Fi, preparation is key.
⠀
Green Slasher
⠀
A salad may be a safe, healthy choice for lunch; but when trying to impress, it’ll go down limper than a week-old iceberg lettuce.
“Don’t be lame and opt for a simple salad, ” says Shirin Kouros, co-founder of London’s The Good Life Eatery. “Avoid leaves and anything else that risks getting stuck in your teeth, like tabbouleh.”
⠀
Small Victories
⠀
Even if your date can handle a 16-ounce rump steak with extra chips, eating that much food is only going to see you both end the night in a s*xless coma. The aim is to eat small and win big.
⠀
Sharing Is Caring
⠀
A problem shared is a problem halved, and tackling a larger dish together bodes well for the night ahead.
⠀
Burger King
⠀
If food is the sixth language of love, consider the burger a 4am drunken b***y text.
“Avoid big burgers like the plague,” says Calum Franklin, head chef at the Holborn Dining Room in London. “You need to be well secure in a relationship before someone can watch you inhale a beef patty and still lust after you.”
⠀
Quality Control
⠀
Simply does it on most dates. Though if you do want to go all out, spend more on quality and avoid cutting corners.
⠀
Seasons Greetings
⠀
Like fashion, food is held ransom to trends both enduring and ridiculous (remember rainbow bagels?) To avoid getting burnt, sidestep novelty for classic, seasonal dishes.
⠀
Safe Is Sound
⠀
Pulling out all the stops is not just recommended, but encouraged. That doesn’t mean you should lay on a Versailles-worthy feast, though.

First Date Fashion Tips: Making An Impression 👇

First dates are undeniably stressful and can, unfortunately, quite often turn out to be minor disasters. In essence, there are very few factors about a first date that can be actively controlled though besides the location; and the partner of course.

You can scour every inch of Facebook, learning every little facsimile of her personal life, you can keep a good few hours worth of killer anecdotes on stand-by, and you can even go so far as to impress her with first date flowers.

But no matter what lengths you go to, it’s quite terrifyingly simple really, if you don’t get on then you don’t get on and that’s something you can’t control.

One thing you can control though is your outfit so here we’ll be taking the male contingent through a few helpful hints that should help them steer clear of any fashion faux pas. And perhaps even bag that elusive second date you’re seeking!

1. Getting the Balance Right

Gentlemen, you want to look like you’ve made an reasonable amount of effort. She’s going to feel a little put out, otherwise no doubt, the worst thing you can do is look like you’ve made too much of an effort. You could come across as ‘too keen’ or like you’re trying to hide something.
If it looks as though you’ve spent more time getting ready, preening over yourself in the mirror than she has, she might very well be put off (and with good reason).

2. Ditch The Logos

We’re talking here not just about corporate branding and certain sports affiliates (which give off their own, resolutely negative vibes) but anything with even an ounce of ‘novelty’ or ‘kitsch’ about it should be avoided at all costs. That ‘Family Guy’ t-shirt you wear to bed for example might be ‘hilarious’ in some circles but it’s doubtful your date will be amused.

3. Choose your Scent Wisely

Select one that’s masculine without being ‘musky’. Any aftershave by ‘Diesel’ will always be a good bet.

4. To Suit up or NOT to Suit up?

Simple answer to a simple question here, just don’t.
It not only makes it look as though you’ve come straight from work but it will seem smug, tactless and a little creepy. Same goes with a tie (unless the venue specifically requests you wear one).

5. From tips to toes

We’re talking shoes here, an item of clothing that quite often gets overlooked.
Make sure the shoes are recently polished but don’t go overboard, you want them to look clean but you don’t want to be able to see yourself in them (or blind your date).

6. Grooming

The penultimate (and arguably most important) item on the agenda involves your personal hygiene. You might shower twice a day and smell like a sun-kissed meadow but there are more specific elements of male grooming that many women will pick up on immediately that we might miss.

Fingernails for example should be clipped and cleaned and hair should be not only washed and rinsed through with shampoo, but conditioned.

7. Remember what Mom told you

Finally just remember to be yourself (it’s an old one but still a good one) so don’t wear anything you’d never wear in a million years in any other circumstance. Wear clothes you’re comfortable in and (and this is crucial) clothes that fit you and you’ll have one less thing to worry about on your big date.

Creative, Fun and Romantic Ideas for Dates 🥰
⠀
The perfect date is said to consist of the following elements:
⠀
An element of surprise! This not only tickles your lover's fancy but also adds an air of excitement to the date. The next time you invite him or her out, don't tell her where you are going. Imaginative lovers might even want to blindfold their partners until you reach the surprise destination - a picnic laid out for two in a park or a living room strewn with rose petals.
⠀
Creativity. It is definitely time to appeal to your imagination if the two of you find yourself stuck in a rut. Maybe you are renting a video and falling into bed every Friday night or eating at the same restaurant every day. Think of ways to entertain your lover, such as renting costumes and holding your very own "theme" night, complete with food in your apartment.
⠀
Mutual Interest. Try to remember which interests brought you together in the first place. Check the past to see if you are dragging a disinterested boyfriend to art openings or a bored girlfriend to football games. Are you both interested in art? Try making your own pottery. Do you both love animals? Try a trip to a zoo.

How to Text a Girl: 4 Steps to Get Her on Dates ✏️
⠀
Your Objective in Texting Girls
⠀
Let’s start with the underlying basics and strategy of text messaging girls, because that’s what’s going to drive how you structure your messages and everything else about them.
⠀
You will only ever have two (2) objectives for texting, and they should never overlap.
⠀
Here are your objectives in texting girls:
⠀
Build rapport and comfort, or
⠀
Set up a meet.
⠀
Some texting a girl dos and do nots:

Don’t ❌
⠀
-Beat around the bush.
-Text without having an objective.
-Send lots and lots of texts.
-Get wordy or longwinded.

Do ✅
⠀
-Be direct and straightforward.
-Text with your objective in mind.
-Send a handful of well-planned texts.
-Be precise and concise.
⠀
Warm Texting and Cold Texting
⠀
Warm texting is when you text message a girl who was expecting to hear from you at the time you texted her, or was thinking about you.
⠀
Cold texting is when you text message a girl who was not expecting to hear from you at the time you texted her, and was not thinking about you.
⠀
How to Text a Girl to Arrange a Meet
⠀
This is the real meat of this post and probably the most important part of it.
⠀
Honestly, I hardly spend much time building rapport with girls over text these days; I usually go straight for setting up the date.
⠀
If you prefer to build some comfort and rapport first, I’d recommend a rough schedule like this:
⠀
Initial text several hours after first meeting girl
⠀
Rapport-building texts two days after first meet
⠀
Arrange the date four to five days after first meet
⠀
That’s all you need. Less, even. Like I said, I often skip the rapport-building these days unless I really think a girl needs it, and I go for setting up the meet the day after I’ve first met a girl or the next day after that.

Surviving the First Date (Part 2) 😎
⠀
While on the date, try and keep the conversation going as best as you can. The best way to do this is ask your blind date polite questions such as "So how was your day?" and "Did you see that television show the other night...?" Although you are very curious about your date, it is best to save the heavy interrogation, such as "Why are you still looking for a job at age 43?" for the third or fourth date.
⠀
Make sure you check your emotional baggage at the door. This is not the time to discuss your cheating ex-boyfriend, your alcoholic mother, or your psychotic boss. Your date is supposed to be a potential lover, not a therapist. If they identify you with unpleasant qualities, such as control, clinginess, complacency or even too much emotional security, the relationship is not likely to last.
⠀
Keep your sense of humor and keep your wits about you. If something seems awkward or goes awry during the date, such as spilling wine on a favorite dress, then encourage your date to laugh along with you at the persistence of Murphy's law.
⠀
According to relationship experts, the best way to keep your date attracted to you is to always have them identify you with the idea of excitement. Don't be afraid to show a little spontaneity by suggesting that you take a walk in the park or explore a new attraction after your date. In fact, evolutionary biologists tell us that taking a partner to a scary movie or on a thrilling amusement ride can rev up one's s*x life, as the same chemicals in our brain that are responsible for creating fear also create s*xual desire.
⠀
There are also some physical moves that you can make to show that you are interested in the opposite s*x. These include turning your body so that it faces your partner and casual physical contact such as holding hands or patting your partner on the arm. Women love it when men place their hand on the small of their back as it makes them feel guided, protected and secure with him. Perhaps one of the best ways to make a deep, lasting soul-connection is to lock both of your gazes and not say a word for a minute or two.
⠀
Unless your date is drunk and displaying inappropriate behavior try to be a good sport and stay by his side until he drops you off at the door. At the end of the night, most dates end with a kiss. While kissing your date good-bye avoid the reassuring pat on the back. A lack of a kiss may indicate that there is not a s*xual relationship in the future. If this happens don't expect a call for a second date and be content in knowing that you have just made yourself another very good friend!
⠀

Surviving the First Date (part 1) 👌
⠀
Preparing for a first date can be quite nerve-wracking, even for the most mature of individuals. The key is to take it easy and decide that you are going to have a good time no matter what happens.
⠀
First of all, make sure the date will be something you will enjoy. If your date suggests going sailing but you can's swim and suffer from seasickness, don't be afraid suggest an alternative.
⠀
This is not the time to suggest a highly unusual excursion, such as bungee jumping or to try and unfamiliar food. You don't want to have to abandon your date because of gastric distress!
⠀
Men should try to avoid looking too casual in that "I shop at Wal-Mart way" way. Sweats or T-shirts and jeans are also a no-no. Dress casually, but smart but also be you. During the date men should also mind their manners at the table and make sure that they arrive on time to pick up their date.
⠀
Men are also advised to bring flowers, a plant or a gift as a kind of advance thank you for the date. I know it is a cliche but you can't go wrong giving a woman a bouquet of roses, tulips or sunflowers.
