Things a Guy Should Do to be Great on His First Date
Being a guy is easy. This is more palpable when it comes to preparing for a date night. Women might loathe the fact that being a guy is completely awesome since he does not have to spend hours at the salon just to get his hair done for a date.
Likewise, most men do not necessarily have to choose from several outfits in order to look good on a date night.
With a good haircut, a mild aftershave, a pair of clean Chuck Taylors, a handsome jacket, and a vintage graphic tee, it is way too easy for any guy to look gorgeous on any given day without having to exert too much effort.
Some Guys Just Need to Keep Calm
Unfortunately, some men do not take advantage of this fact when they go out on a date. There are still guys out there who tend to be too anxious on what to wear and how to act in front of their dates that they end up screwing what should have been a brilliant and fun night.
If you are a first-time dater, and you are worrying on what you should look like and how you should act on your first date, the best piece of advice you should take is to calm down.
Seriously, relax dude. It is just a date. Yes, you have been fantasizing about that crush of yours for years, and you feel that the date is your first and last chance to actually spend time with her.
However, you have to keep in mind that the purpose of the date is to really get to know the woman you are dating to see if she is for keeps.
Assuming that you are not a first-rate douchebag who only pretends to date the ladies to get into their pants, you have nothing to worry about on your first date. If you still think that you need a little help prepping up for one, here is a quick first date guide for you.

...our date to a fancy restaurant or just a simple tavern, remember that unless you are dating the Queen of England, you do not have to be too formal during the first date.
Women do not want to date pretentious little stuffed shirts. They go out on a date with you because they want to know the real you and not the corporate zombie your boss wants you to be.
Be the nice guy who tells interesting and funny stories. However, do not be too casual that you might end up treating your date as if he is one of your best guy buds. Keep it chill and casual, be on your best behavior, and engage in meaningful and fun conversations with her.

Always looking perfectly put together, hair gelled, clean-shaven, chiseled muscles (is this an archetype; is every metrosexual muscular?), and clothed in designer apparel, the metrosexual man seems (be certain) to be on the rise.
David Grazian’s study builds on Quinn’s research on men and women's interactions and Grazian finds similar results as Quinn did in her study. In the study of Grazian the performance of both men and women was driven by both genders trying to prove that they are as the audience (society) says they should be. Society has men believing that all women want only one type of man, a masculine man and society has woman believing that men want women who are quite, pretty and live to make their man happy. Both parties in both studies have been fooled by society and they don’t realize or understand
If the date is not going as well as you hoped try introducing topic in your conversation that you are both comfortable in. This is prudent as it is easier to get your conversation back to the direction you want it to go from a point of comfort, it is also advisable to notice any topics that may be making your partner uncomfortable and try to avoid them in your future conversations. Be friendly and polite to lessen any

There are many types of men in the world, and each type displays a variety of distinguishable characteristics. Women should become aware of these characteristics before considering a prospective mate. The smallest of personal details, from where and how they met (including the first date), the way he walks and talks, the clothes he wears, the career choice he's made, the vacation spots he frequents, or the automobile he drives can offer valuable, meaningful, insightful clues to whether or not a man will ever settle down with anyone. There are two main types of men in the world: the committer and the non-committer.
The two types of dating are very different in many ways. The worldly way is enjoyable, but can cause many consequences while the godly way has more restrictions, but can lead to a happier and more successful love life. Therefore, it is the reader that must decide for him or herself what is better. Dating is a serious matter either way. In general we must make sure we have healthy relationships. Having a healthy relationship includes maintaining good communication, resolving conflicts in an orderly and friendly way, but also getting past the hurt of past relationships (Robinson). Following a healthy relationship can lead to memories of happiness with the one you are in love with.
Another form of prevention is a specific plan. Know what’s on the itinerary, where one will be going, what kind of place it is, and inform others of possible whereabouts. This way a female for example does not find themselves in a situation that could be potentially harmful. The advantage to this is that if the date has any ideas about using date rape as a romance technique, he will see awareness and intelligence and perhaps think twice about the crime about to be committed. A disadvantage, as in any other situation, sometimes a woman with enough self esteem to protect herself, is intimidating to some men. One may find it harder to achieve a second date.
Have you ever been really stressed about something? Think of the time when you have been the most stressed out. Multiply that to the 10th power and you have me before a date. It seems to me dating and stress are like salt and pepper; you almost never have one without the other. Endless anticipations flood your mind, making it almost impossible to keep a continuous train of thought. The worst thing about dating is that you get seriously stressed out for one lousy night. It’s enough to turn a sane mind into a basket case. So much energy is put into preparing for a night that ends up being pretty lame. One thing is for sure; dating is not worth the stress it brings. Here are some examples of typical stresses you are faced with when you go out on a date.
During the early 20th Century, courtship began to take place outside of the home, and although the strict formalities of the dating game were generally loosened, many new conventions were impose...
To start off a relationship the two in the relationship have to have good communication with each other. The different kinds of communication are linear, interactive, and transactional. Linear communication is a one way conversation. One person takes it over and talks the whole time and the other sits a listens. This could be both a good and bad thing. If the two are both talkers and like to take over the conversation they won’t be good because both are going to want to talk and not listen. Another way to make it bad is if a person doesn’t like a talker then they won’t like someone talking the whole time. The way it is good is when one don’t like to talk and the other does. Interactive is what you can call the nice or polite way of talking to each other. This is the way most conversations between two people on a first date. One listens to the other talk, then they talk and the other listens to them. This way is good because it could make you look polite and it could make you look like that you are really interested in what the other person is saying. You can really get to know a lot about each other this way as well. The way it is bad is if the person that yo...
Hands are sweaty, heart is racing, and the feeling of light-headedness is present: these are all symptoms of the classic first date. The average human typically dreads first dates. There are many different first dates someone will go on, however. First, there is the Job Interview; this date is where the person on the date is pounded with questions. Next, there is the Over the Top, Time to Bop; this usually results in the person returning home slightly creeped out. There is also the Fairytale, which leaves the person feeling as though they are living in a romance movie. Lastly, there is the Talk or Walk; this date, no matter how fun the activity of the date is, is just silence. As any person in the dating realm can see, first dates
When I am dating there are a lot of differences from having a girlfriend. There is no commitment when I am dating. So you really do not even have to like the girl that much because next weekend u could be going with a different girl. The problem is I might get a bad reputation as a player, I you might have a harder time getting a girlfriend in the future. When I am dating there is no money problem, because I can choose when to go out on dates. Dating is a lot of fun for the people that do not want to be committed to one person. It can hurt, however, if I start to like the girl and then she decides she wants to go out with someone else, I can not do anything about it.
At some point in our lives where we are searching for that special someone. The methods of going about dating have changed quite dramatically over the years. Going out has grown from traditional dating, to internet 'dating', to group dating.
Before I get into my first date, I want to mention I have a lot of failed “first dates”. I
According to Steve Harvey "Real man do what they have to do to make that a woman is taken care of and if they 're doing anything thing less than that, they 're not a man". He goes further by saying "I know that you and your girls have been told for years that you just don 't pass up any opportunities when a man walks your way because he could be 'the one '." Women who have issues with aggression loose all power when it comes to knowing when you deserve better, women become skeptical in moving forward because they are afraid of loosing the situation they are in. Meaning they get caught up in high infatuation to the point where they are willing to take on the job of a male in being the aggressor. In addition to the subject the main objective of women asking men out is to learn that as women you are made to be chased, not to chase after men. Women are intellectuals and they are fully aware of their intentions prior executing their plans to snag the perfect catch. However, men are equally as alert when it comes to the quest for true love. Where there is nothing wrong with giving a man a preview of what he could have, indeed, the objective should be leaving a lasting first impression so memorable that he will make him want to continue a courtship with him being the hunter. The presumption is that he will want to go all out to make you a permanent fixture in his life especially because all of your moral characteristics are safely intact. Setting boundaries early on with prove effective in the long run, hence the need to keep the traditional roles of dating and chilvary providing a mutual respect for each others genders roles. Some say that dating and chilvary are behaviors that are now outdate. Some believe that we are in the age of 'hook-ups ' and 'try it before you buy it ' is the attitude of most who are emerced in the dating world. In either case it safe
