Member #168,659Hi April,
Me and this guy who have had an obvious attraction to each other for quite some time now are finally going on our first date. We have spoken and texted a few times but haven’t hung out one on one yet. He’s a great catch and I really like him so I really want to make sure the date goes well this weekend so I need to make sure I make a great impression! I know he is definitely sexually attracted to me but that can only help you out so much.
We are going out for a few drinks (thank god because that will ease SOME of my nerves!) I have so many questions and concerns.
My first question is how many drinks do you think I should have? I don’t want to get sloppy drunk but I know that it is difficult for me to stop once I start- especially around guys I like. I don’t want to seem trashy because I’m not.
My second question is how should I greet him when he picks me up? Should I give him a hug in the car? This can be awkward because of the positioning. Should I kiss him on the cheek? Or should I avoid both and just verbally greet him?
My third question is what are some good conversation topics? Awkward silences are the worst!
4th question- Should I let him kiss me when he drops me off? If so, should it be a simple kiss or is a little making out okay too? I know not to go any further than that. He has a tendency to be a little shy around me and I know I’m going to want to kiss him, especially with some alcohol in my system.. should I avoid making the first move?
Lastly- What can I do to stand out from all the other girl he dates so that he sees me as dating material and not just another fling?
Thanks so much, April!
July 23, 2012 at 7:29 pm #24644Wow! You’ve got quite a few questions! So first, I’m going to recommend you buy and read Think & Date Like A Man, , a book that’s got EVERYTHING you need in it — and a lot more than I can tell you here on this forum, so I hope you’ll buy it and read it.[url]https://www.askapril.com/relationship-dating-advice/think-and-date-like-a-man.html [/url] 😀 Briefly, my advice is to have one drink on the first date. You want to enjoy yourself, but as you put it, not get sloppy. You also want to get to know him and if you’re more alert, you’re going to learn more about him. I know you have an attraction to him, but now you get to know what’s behind that attraction on the date!
😉 Greeting him has a lot to do with how you normally conduct greetings and how long you’ve known him. Since you wrote that you’ve been attracted for a long time, my guess is that it would be nice to greet him with a big smile. Let him want more.
😎 Great conversation topics for a first date can be about what you’re going to be doing that evening — the movie, the restaurant, the bowling alley — or how his day was. You can tell him how much you like his car, if you’re into cars, or ask him if it was a long drive, which can segue into where he lives….. get the gist?
🙂 As for a goodnight kiss…. let HIM guide you on this one. Do NOT make the first move. If you do, you’ve taken away his opportunity to do so, and guys always want to be the ones to make the first move. If and when he makes the first move also tells you a lot about him.
I hope you have a great first date.
