First contact / first date PDF Print E-mail
When you meet you date have an open and inviting expression. Make good eye contact. People are DRAWN to others like this. Let that attractive stranger know you are open to meeting them and happy to be there. If they have an interest back, this will pave the way for a first interaction.

Did you know that your outlook, whether it is optimistic or pessimistic, influences your enjoyment of life, your relationships and your health? People are just naturally drawn to someone who exudes jovial good humor.
Some studies have indicated individuals who perceive and express only gloom and doom may become isolated and lonely. Think about it, negativity is contagious . . . so is humor and merriment. Which would you rather "catch?" An adequate support system, people with whom we share our thoughts and emotions, is indispensable. Would you like to enjoy life, live longer and be healthier? Then begin searching for the inherent benefit in every situation.
Numerous studies have suggested that optimism is an effective tool in overcoming trauma, illness and depression.
What are the other wondrous benefits of an optimistic personality? For one, we realize that our situation could always be horribly worse.

While going on a date, you should also Present Your Best Appearance
A study conducted by Dr. Dan Ariely of MIT suggests that men who see a beautiful woman experience the same "reward" brain response that is elicited by food and cocaine. It appears that men may be "wired" to respond to beauty.
Always make your best effort in your grooming and choice of clothing. Attractive is just that. It's not about having beautiful features or a fantastic body. It's all about presenting what you have in the best light possible.
This also includes presenting an attractive personality. Be friendly, not pushy. Be open, not indiscreet. Have opinions, don't be a know-it-all. Always remember to consider others' feelings and needs. These interactions are not just about you.

If you are shy or you are not used to meeting strangers, Have Some Good Openings Lines Available, even if we think natural conversation is best, but you can have stage fright and your brain could get blocked … so practice on opening lines, questions you would want to ask your date, write them down if you are going to forget.
