What Do Women Expect on a First Date?

So, you have a first date and the nerves and curiosity is taking hold but you need to relax because you are about to learn all about what women expect on their first date. Preparation is key and so, understanding these expectations will enable you to give her what she wants.

Go that little bit further

It is the smaller things that make a difference so when you meet up, think about how to make her feel comfortable but also consider how you can show that you have thought about her. Consider a small gift but try and tie this in with her interests. If you know that she has a sweet tooth then perhaps a gift of sweet things will work or if she is an intellectual then a book could work wonders. This is all about showing her that you can think outside of the box and use your imagination.

It pays to be polite

While many women may not seem concerned over etiquette, believe us when we say that she does like to keep a watchful eye on what you are doing. Think of the finer details such as speaking with your mouth full food or opening doors for her, that is if she is happy for you to open doors for her! Think of the stories that you might tell because the wrong story could put her off you completely.

Pay her compliments

Women like to be complemented. Whether that is on her perfume, her hair or even what she is wearing. The reality is that she has spent a lot of time preparing for this date so she wants you to acknowledge the hard work she has put in to looking this good.

Show an interest in her

Don’t allow your nervousness to overcome your ability to think clearly because you can quickly find yourself talking about you. While you might feel that your main concern is to keep your head above water but in reality, you need to remember to ask her about her interests and what she enjoys doing. Make her feel relaxed but more importantly, make her feel like you want to get to know her better…because you do!

Let your confidence shine

Show her that you are confident but do not let that spill over into something that becomes overly confident and aggressive. If you are out for a meal be assertive but not aggressive with the waiter if you have an issue but remember to deal with it calmly. If you smile and assert yourself in the right way, it will go a long way with her and certainly if you show that you understand that it is easy to make mistakes she will think you at least have a hear.

Put a backup plan in place

Sometimes, even the best plans can be fraught with problems. Therefore, make sure you have a backup plan that you can rely on. If things unravel, she might think that the date is over but then you rescue the situation with your equally as awesome ‘Plan B’. Of course, it could be as simple as going for a drink or a coffee but she will see that you have thought ahead and that you have thought of her!

Leave a lasting impression

The most important thing of all to remember is that she wants you to leave her with a lasting impression. She has agreed to go on a first date with you so she clearly has an interest in you, so do all you can to really make her want to head out on another date.
