Is dating harder for men than women? The answer to this question largely remains subjective; however, with the proper guidelines and tips, a man should find dating easier. The tension on a man to be perfect on a date is high due to public perception, i.e., many women think that it is a man’s role to make dating perfect and make all the right effort. 

With such perceptions in mind, you should be careful and pull all the right moves to ensure you land the girl. It does not require rocket science and technical skills; instead, focuses on simple skills and soft elements to make a great date. Consider these tips helpful to create a memorable date and be exceptional.

Selecting the Right Date 

 

Before going on any date, the most significant tip is to ensure you meet the right person. The person may not be right per se but at least have some qualities you desire and want in a woman or a partner. How exactly do you get such a person? You should hire the services of a professional matchmaker to help you search for the right person and link you with them. The matchmaker will take an interest in all your needs and details to ensure you match with the right person.  

Before you take someone on a date, ensure you have some details about them; hence the date will not be a learning time or getting to know each other but spending time on other issues. This reduces the potential disappointment you may experience supposed they do not meet your expectations. Alternatively, you can get her through dating sites, exchange contacts, and communicate for a while, maybe a month before you finally meet. This will give you background information about the person you are dating and help you go for the date with some information in mind.

Honesty 

A man should live and be defined by his word; as such, you should always aim to tell the truth. Dating can sometimes lead to lifetime commitment; hence your partner should know you adequately at the earliest level to determine whether you are a good choice for them or not. Lying only means that your truths will be discovered later, jeopardizing all your efforts toward a good relationship.  

Be honest with your date; let them understand your likings, hates, and how you respond to situations. This will also help you establish the code of behavior they are to expect when dating you and not create boundaries in the future. Nobody is perfect; hence you do not have to lie about your imperfections. However, watch out not to reveal everything, including your weaknesses which someone can use to blackmail you or take advantage of your situation. Do not lie to impress your date or to end up with the lady.

Get some intel in advance 

Dating or meeting ladies for the first time can sometimes be challenging since they attend to be sensitive or petty about certain issues. Therefore, you need to seek guidance about the do and don’ts when meeting your date for the first time. Read and ask female friends for some advice. They also tend to have similar habits; hence female advice will be crucial to get through. 

While meeting them, pay attention and void distractors to ensure you fully focus on them. This will help you discover some things about them. Ladies can easily communicate their desires and how they desire to be treated; hence you need to be keen and listen carefully so that no details escape you.  

Work on your Soft Skills 

What makes a good gentleman is character; hence you need to have the best character to get you through the date. Be confident, and speak with some authority but not overbearing or condescending. Be sure about yourself, and express your achievement but do not over-focus on yourself and compliment yourself. Allow her to express herself too.  

Other skills to focus on include good communication, listening, and relationship skills. Focus on hiding and managing your emotions to ensure they do not take over but control them till the end; hence emotional stability is key for a man looking forward to a date.

Presentation Matters 

 

Presentation entails a lot beginning with your dressing. When going on a date, you do not need to be official; instead, consider something casual, neat, presentable, and worth the occasion. Wear presentable colors, and the perfume should not be too strong to put someone off, yet it should be attractive to communicate male bravado. 

The second element of the presentation is how you walk, talk and conduct yourself throughout the date. Be audible when communicating, be assertive and be gentlemanly enough to help the lady with issues such as pulling the chair and helping her sit. Pour her the wine instead of allowing the waiter to do everything.  

Embrace the Moment 

When you are out on a date, you should embrace and enjoy the moment by avoiding certain habits. It is not a time to make phone calls, text, or focus on taking photos. Focus on the person you meet, and make the conversation fun and memorable. You should be keen not to give away too much in making everything fun. 

To fully enjoy the moment, you should also select a fun place and not one with a lot of noise, overcrowded, and other uncomfortable environments. If you do not know how to choose a perfect first date spot, check online or ask for help from friends. The venue is critical for creating an impression but watch out not to go for something too expensive.

Be Curious  

 

Learning how to treat someone right can be difficult; however, you can easily understand someone by allowing your curiosity to take over. Instead of talking more about yourself, observe and listen to the other party talk. A curious mindset will enable you to ask the right questions and learn more about them. Ask the right question but not directly, make them more hypothetical and take advantage of the questions to tell her more about yourself.  

Conclusion 

Being a man requires adequate preparation for your next; ensure you have the right skills and prepare effectively for the date. Get to know the person more, and give them a chance to speak more. Ensure you are part of the conversation and honest but do not give away too many details.
