You may have mastered the basics in planning for a memorable date yet the work does not actually end there. Another thing that you may find hard to deal with is starting and keeping up a conversation. Here are easy-to-do tips for a dating task that many men failed according to some women.
Keep an Eye Contact
Maintaining an eye contact is a sign of confidence and at the same time attentiveness. This simple gesture may mean a lot to the person you are dating. It may also mean respect and sincerity. Look at her eyes during conversations. However, be careful since it can be overdone and you may appear like you are staring at her the whole time.
Exude Confidence
Aside from maintaining an eye contact, you must show her that you are confident even on the way you speak and even just in handing over a glass of wine. Every woman doesn’t want to see their man speaking with his lips quivering out of anxiety. Be yourself! You need not worry about how you will appear or sound to her, what matters most is you let her know the “true you” and let her hear your sincerity and pure intentions.
Know How to Listen
The reason why we have two ears and one mouth is for us to listen more than monopolizing a conversation. If you do 90% of the talking, you may find your partner sleeping on her side of the table. The secret for a good conversation is knowing how to listen and react on the remarks made by another person. From the things that are brought up in the discussion by your partner, you can open up new topics in the conversation.
Tell Her About Your Interests
Share with her your interests. These are topics you have a lot of ideas of that will make you sustain the conversation. Also, you may ask her of what she is interested to do or maybe getting some hints of what it is through listening to her in the talk. You may find a common interest that will be a great topic to talk about.
Show Some Interest on What She Finds Interesting
Some women will love hearing their man say- “I love dancing too!” or “I love mellow music too.” This can be a way of telling your girl in a conversation that you have something in common or a way of showing her acceptance. Remember that what you are looking for and what you are trying to build in a date are “chemistry” and “harmony” that link the two of you. If you see her smiling while she is talking, she may be feeling comfortable sharing with you things about herself.
Use Your Sense of Humor
It is nice to be humorous once in a while. It is hard to do so though on first-dates. You can crack a joke even on the simplest things. Overdoing it however may be very irritating instead and may destroy her mood for a date. Your sense of humor comes out naturally. You just have to be spontaneous and at the same time attentive during the conversation.
