Whether your friend’s set you up, you met at the bar and exchanged numbers or you “met” online the whole process of dating can be intimidating. Especially when it comes to the first date. First dates can be nerve wracking if you ask me. Countless thoughts run through my head which can cause me to over think the whole thing and keep me from actually being present and enjoying the date.

4 Tips On How To Make A Great Impression On The First Date.

1.Be Confident: Both men & woman appreciated a sense of confidence from their partner. It creates a sense of knowing who they are and what they want, that oozes sexiness. You can show confidence simply by standing up straight & using eye contact.

2.Use Their Name: By using their name it creates a sense of deeper connection than chatting up a stranger you just met. It creates a sense of respect and it grabs their attention.

3.Body Language: You can tell a lot about how someone is feeling towards you by their body language. If you are feeling them let them know. Don’t cross your arms, face towards them and be open to communication.
