Hey girls, it's Mark here again, and today, we're giving you seven tips to have great
first dates, first time, every time, so you no longer have to worry about the awkwardness.
So number one is hug when you meet. Break the touch barrier straightaway. Even if you
do that weird like kissy thing on the cheek that we all do and think is kind of odd. What
it does is straightaway that physical barrier between the two of you is gone for the rest
of the day. So if he wants to kiss you, if he wants to hold your hand, it doesn't feel
weird. Number two try to have an activity rather than like a standard dinner. So something
like you know, a food festival or a market or even a sport like rock climbing are all
way better dates for the two of you than a dinner because there's going to be an outward
focus.
It's going to be like an us and them thing rather than a you and him thing across the
dinner table. Okay. So if you are eating dinner, you want to sit next to each other rather
than across. So what's your typical high pressure situation? It's a job interview, right where
you sit across the table and you stare at each other and you figure out if you match
each other's standards. Now, a good date should not feel like that. A good date should feel
like a team exercise with someone who could become a very good friend or even something
more. So you don't want to sit across the table at dinner, you know, you might want
to sit on the 90 degree angle of the table or sit next to each other. And that way you
create a real team like an us and them feel versus the very you versus me feel of the
interview across the table.
Number four, offer to pay for yourself. So chivalry isn't dead, but this is the 21st
century and women are equal to men in every way. So it's fair enough that you go into
a date, assuming that you might be covering for yourself. Now, most guys won't let you
cover, they'll pay for you anyway, but you're going to have a better experience. And if
he does pay for you, you're going to appreciate it more if you go in, assuming you gonna pay
for yourself. Number five, girls ask questions about who he is rather than what he is. So
try to think of questions that bring out a guy's values. So instead of maybe asking what
do you do, you could ask him something like, if you could wake up tomorrow doing anything,
what would you do? Or if money was no issue ever, which job would you do?
Maybe instead of asking him where did you grow up, you could go, if you could have grown
up anywhere in the world, where would you grow up? Not only do these questions and statements
like this bring out more of his values about who he is, rather than just straight facts,
they get better and more fun conversation flowing so you guys are going to have a better
first date experience. Number six, avoid the weird topics. So don't talk about your insecurities.
Oh my god, I'm gaining so much weight, you won't even like me. Don't talk about your
long-term future and plans for him even if you have them. Oh my God, you and I would
have the cutest kids. And you have to tread carefully when talking about exes, it's not
a completely no-go topic, but some people do it kind of weird. No, no, I like the fact
that your arms are really small. It was like total opposite to my ex boyfriend. He was
was so big and he also just so cute.
And number seven girls, this is a big one that a lot of girls I find forget. Give him
green lights if you like him and want him to make a move. So if you're into it, make
sure that he feels comfortable making a move. So most guys won't make a move unless they
think their move is going to be successful. So give him the eyes, you know, given the
touch, physical closeness, whatever it takes to stamp on your forehead that yes mister,
I want you to make a move. I want you to come forward and take this further.
So thanks ladies. I hope you enjoyed that. That's seven tips to have a great first date
in the future. I hope that takes some of the awkwardness out of it and you can look forward
to the experiences more and have a great time. What did you think? Do you agree, disagree?
