First Date Tips


The first meeting with a girl that you’ve been pursuing online can be a stressful experience.  This article will focus on some general advice regarding that first date.

Before the date, make sure you study up on the girl.  Chances are you are juggling around several different girls online.  Nothing will kill your chances with a girl like getting confusing and asking her a question that is meant for another girl.  Take the time to study up on her profile.  Mentally note a few of her details so you can inquire further about them. 

For the most part the only part of a woman’s online profile that a man really cares about is how attractive she is (ie: her pictures).   Women are usually a little different when it comes to online dating.  Believe it or not, they will actually read the profile of a guy they find physically attractive!  You will need to be able to make her think you were really interested in what she had to say on her profile.  Don’t make it seem like you’re only meeting her because you thought she was hot in her pictures.

With regard to planning the date, an outstanding tip is to plan the date in two rounds.  The first round is going to be a short meeting to make sure she’s not a pig in real life.  I can’t tell you how many times I have met girls that look nothing like their profiles.  When I actually meet them, I want to chew my arm off to get away, or better yet, turn and run at the sight of them.  What they do is take the one picture in their life where they actually didn’t look like a stock pig and use it as their profile picture.  So the first stage of the date should be set up to be short lived. This way, you can get the hell out of there if you want.  Tell them before you ever meet them that you will be busy later, but should have time to meet them for a cocktail.

If the meeting goes well and you want the evening to continue, all you have to do is call an audible.  Tell her that you really want to continue the date and you’d be willing to blow off your commitment for her if she’d like to do something for the rest of the evening.  If she agrees, do the fake phone call routine to “get out of your commitment”. 

Have something already mentally planned out for round two.  There is nothing that tells a woman that you’re a schmuck like the old “whad’you wanna do?, I don’t know, whad’you you wanna do?” routine.  Women don’t want a weak man.  They want a take charge kind of guy.  Try to make round two something fun and distant from traditional dating as possible.  Make it something out of the ordinary so you are memorable to her.  If you do something cliche you’ll just fade right in with the other losers she’s gone out with.  At all costs, don’t go see a movie.  Do something where you can actually talk and get to know each other.

Some very important general advice is to not make the date seem like an interview.  Don’t try to ask every single thing about her on the first night.  Focus on being funny and enjoyable to be around.  People like to be around people they have fun with, so just be fun and occasionally ask about some of the things in her profile at greater depth.  It should be about 75% fun and 25% question asking for the first date.  If things go well you’ll have plenty of other opportunities to get to know her.

When going out with a girl from an online dating site, there is one question that they will almost always ask,  “So how many girls have you gone out with from the site?”  This is a question with one right answer.  Your answer needs to be a very small number.  Tell her that you are very selective and that you just haven’t found anyone that grabbed your attention…..until now.  Let her know that there was so much in her profile that you really related to and she just “got to you”.

At the end of the date let her know how much of a breath of fresh air she was.  Set in stone a time when you can see her again.  You should be able to tell if she’s interested in a second date or not.  The rest is up to you, young master of your online dating domain!
