Columnistas // Guide for the Single Girl: How to Pass a Date With Flying Colours

Every single girl has to prepare for a date once in a while, however nerve wracking it may be. After all, dates can be great experiences and they could even lead you into a long-term relationship. Are you worried about an upcoming date? Read the pointers below and see how you can pass a date with flying colors.

The art of preparation

Take your time and don’t rush. This way you’ll be able to focus on all the little details. It’s surprising how a little manicure can go a long way.

Fun Tip: Show off your fun side! Get some Barbie pink nail polish and paint your fingers and toes.

The importance of impressions

As soon as the date begins, it’s time to make first impressions count. Make sure that you are early or on time and greet him with a smile.

Fun Tip: Give off the right vibe and immediately start a conversation. Everyone loves a bit of confidence.

The act of communication

Finding things to talk about can be the most difficult aspect of a date. If you find you are running short of conversation, ensure that your questions and answers are as open ended as possible.

Fun Tip: If you are interested in him, give him a cheeky grin and ask how he thinks your date is going. It’s a fun way to find out how he feels about you.

 The influence of ambiance

Never underestimate the influence of your environment. If you aren’t happy with the surroundings of a certain bar simply take a stroll to another one. You both should feel comfortable on your date.

Fun Tip: Get close to each other and share a pitcher with two straws.

The Perfect Ending

Depending on how you feel, seal the date with a casual hug or kiss, but don’t insinuate any second dates. You want him to make the first move in date territory—no one likes ‘clingy’ on the first date.

Fun Tip: Grab his hand and give him a cheeky peck on the cheek—he’ll appreciate the move.

The above are just some of the many ways that you can begin to have a great date. Don’t worry if you’re nervous—a few jitters here and there are perfectly natural. Remaining calm and collected is the best way for you to be amongst the excitement. Follow these tips and you’ll definitely be on target for passing your first date with flying colours.
