First Date Conversation Topics When Meeting and Dating Women

Author: Scott Patterson


For a couple of days there, it seemed like the scary stuff was behind you. You had asked that cute girl out, she had said yes, and you had found yourself wrapped up in rosy visions of kissing, canoodling and her laughing wildly at your jokes.

And then you realized. Jokes. Conversation. The most intimidating part is yet to come: you've got a first date to go on and you don't know what to say.

Suddenly you're scared of uncomfortable silences. You've convinced yourself you'll offend her with every word you utter and the only sentence she'll be saying is, "Sorry, I've got to go."

Well, calm yourself down. That isn't going to happen.

You see, I know how to make first date conversation - and I'm about to share my secrets with you.

The first trick is to act calm and comfortable even when you're not. This isn't hard to do. Keep your hands still and your body turned towards her. Lean back a little, make eye contact and give her a genuine smile. Every so often, ask yourself if your shoulders feel stiff, and if the answer is yes, consciously relax them.

Now that you're sitting comfortably, it's time to think about what you could say.

Start by paying her a compliment. Admiring her slinky top or her striking necklace will instantly boost her confidence and help to put her at ease.

If you don't know her well, start with a little small talk. Find out what she does for a living and how she spends her free time. Ask if she has ever been to this venue before and whether she has lived locally all her life. Quickly covering the basics will get you both used to talking to each other and will give you points to refer back to later in the night.

Remember that this is your chance to portray yourself in a positive way, so keep the tone light and your comments optimistic. Listing all the things that get you down will make you appear negative and unfriendly so resist any urges to complain about work, worry about money or criticize the bar staff.

It's important to show a real interest in your date, so ask plenty of open ended questions about the things that she enjoys. Enthusing about her hobbies and ambitions will put her in a great mood and she'll start to associate that happiness with you.

Never interrupt her when she's speaking. It's rude and shows a lack of interest in what she's thinking. Instead, wait your for turn to talk, and then give upbeat but honest answers to anything she asks you. Don't feel that you have to agree with her opinions, but avoid becoming strident or aggressive when presenting your own point of view.

If conversation seems to be drying up at any point, a great way to revive it is with hypothetical questions. Ask what she would do if she won a million dollars, where she would love to live in the future or what sort of superhero power she would like.

Remember that she is just as anxious to impress you as you are to be a hit with her, and accept that every first date has awkward moments. Your aim should be not to fill every second with scintillating conversation, but to find common points of interest and to put each other at ease. So relax, enjoy yourself and you could be pleasantly surprised by how the night turns out.

The Secrets of Body Language Attraction

Author: Dan Bacon


The following are tried and tested tips around attracting women with your body language, behavior and actions.

The first tip is to 'Live in the Moment', rather than worrying about what everyone else thinks. Women love it when a guy can be confident and live in the moment. Pay attention to your state of mind the next time you see a person totally living in the moment and having a good time.

Do you secretly wish you could spend time with them because they are alive and not holding back?

Women find such behavior very attractive because it shows you are a man with social confidence. It also communicates that you would live a more adventurous lifestyle than most people...even if you don't!

The next tip is to 'Have a Confident Voice Tone' and not be afraid to express yourself around other people. To understand if you are making a body language attraction mistake, stop and ask yourself these questions:

* Do I sometimes lower my volume around more confident people?

* Do I sometimes end verbal statements in a way that makes it sound like I'm asking a question, or waiting for approval?

Then ask yourself these empowering questions:

* How can I ensure that I project a confident volume around people, while not being overbearing?

* How can I make a verbal statement in a confident way, but not seem too arrogant?

The next piece of advice is to 'Pay Attention to the Words You Use'. Ask yourself the following questions:

* Am I often making excuses for myself or my shortcomings?

* Do I laugh too much just to fit into social interactions?

Then ask yourself these empowering questions:

* How can I be humble, but not demean myself in social situations?

* What will I do to ensure that I never laugh too much just to fit in?

The next piece of advice is to assess whether or not you are 'Leading or Following? High Status or Low Status?'

Until it becomes natural, you should ask yourself the following questions when involved in a social interaction:

* Am I leading or following in this interaction?

* Who is taking cues from whom?

* Should I be conveying equal or higher-status?

The next piece of advice is 'Don't Get Freaked Out When Women Don't Respond in an Ideal Way' Imagine walking up to a woman in a bar and attempting to have a conversation with her. After a minute or so, she looks at you and says:

"Sorry...I'm not interested okay? I have a boyfriend, can you please leave me alone and let me talk to my friends?" You have a few options:

1. Suddenly have the look of a man who has just been rejected!

2. Smile and say, "Sure, I can do that...it's been cool talking to you...have a great night" then walk off as if you have just finished speaking to a friend. Do not have the look of a man who has just been rejected.

3. Become defensive and react by saying something like, "Well, I was just trying to talk to you! No need to get all bitchy about it...geez!"

4. Say something funny like, "Damn...girls hate me. Can you tell me why girls hate me so much?"

Obviously you'd want to exercise option 2 or 4. With Option 2:

1. You'll look like you know other people at the event/venue.

2. Other women will see you speaking with women.

3. You'll personally feel a whole lot better than you would if you felt rejected.

With Option 4:

1. You'll most likely get a laugh out of it.

2. The women may apologize.

3. It feels good to be playful in situations like that.

The next piece of advice is to 'Stop Defending and Explaining Yourself'. Be confident about who you are, what you want and the decisions you make for yourself.

However, don't confuse this with being overly arrogant. You can still be a humble and personable guy, while also choosing not to defend or explain your choices, actions or behaviors.

You are a man, capable of thinking for himself and acting upon his thoughts. The reasons behind your actions are your reasons. You have no obligation to share them with anyone if you choose not to.

Alpha males don't explain themselves all the time. Alpha males always seem to get with the best women. Go figure.

What is it Like to be Single & Dating?

Author: Alan Lim


Single dating can be a pain in the neck. To many single people, dating is the worst part about being single. Just about anything takes preference to reinventing the wheel each time. And this is what it feels like you are doing, when you are single. Each time you meet someone new, you have to essentially start from scratch when it comes to forming a relationship. If you are single, dating can be a real nightmare.

Here are some tips to take the edge off of single dating:

Do not take things too seriously
Most people fail at dating because they tend to take it too seriously. This makes things difficult for everyone, including you. People who you meet will be scared off because of your attitude and you will find yourself having more anxiety over your dates instead of having a good time.

In order to make the most out of your dating experience, relax, enjoy yourself and do not take things too seriously. Enjoy the date with the other person and do not worry about whether or not you have found the love of your life. There is plenty of time for that. Just enjoy the moment and do not worry about the future. Single dating can be a lot of fun if you look at it like a lot of fun.

Do not be afraid to meet new people
Most of us have a habit of not wanting to remove ourselves from our comfort zone. We tend to stay with people who are not right for us because we feel comfortable with them. If we are afraid to meet new people, we are cheating ourselves out of endless opportunities to have fun and interact with others who we may end up loving.

Single dating can be scary. For that reason, many people do not venture off the beaten path. In order to get the most out of your dating experience, however, you have to meet new people.

Look for friendship, not love
You are better off if you look for friendship instead of a love affair when you go out on a date. Too many people go out looking for a fire when all they really need is a spark. Allow your friendship to develop into love, not the other way around, and you will have a much happier relationship. Single dating should be about finding friends instead of a lifetime companion.

Do not ignore red flags
If red flags are everywhere in a relationship, do not ignore them. They are tossed out there for a reason. Chances are that if you ignore the red flags now, they will come back for you in the end. If your new dating partner does not seem right to you, trust your instincts and take a good look at the relationship. If your instincts are telling you that there is something wrong, there is something wrong.

When you are single, the dating scene can be fun or it can be a nightmare. By following the aforementioned tips, you can find yourself enjoying the dating world and looking forward to meeting new people, instead of dreading the single life.

How to Approach a Woman?

Author: Terry Leslie


The old saying, “The Knight In Shining Armor” still exists today like it did in the medieval times. Only difference is that we’re no longer on a horse and wearing our metal. These days it’s more of a male chivalry which we all men should show if we want to attract our woman. Women are always looking for their knight in shining armor all the time. It is in them to want to be rescued. So whenever there is a chance to help a woman in need, never hesitate. Just do it!

We may not be attracted to the woman we help, but you never know if there is another woman around the corner watching your good deeds. What is important is that this has to be real, a habit you gradually develop over time. You really should not do it just to attract a woman. The more you give, the more you get back. Just don’t expect it right away or else you’ll be disappointed.

So in future when ever you see a woman who either, needs help or rescue from a situation, go for it. Rescuing a woman is one of the surest ways to win their heart. Whether it’s from another man or an embarrassing situation, find a way to save the day and very likely you’ve immediately also found a way to her heart.

Woman unconsciously also like to see that you have good relationships with other women around your age because it shows that you are also liked by other women. She’ll find this attractive.

Never approach a woman too directly and stare down at her as she’ll begin to find you too intimidating or even creepy. An indirect approach is best. Try to also stay away from the usual pick-up lines such as the weather, buying her a drink etc.

You are much better off relating to her on some level. Try to find a common interest.

Its best to therefore approach women as a friend or casual acquaintance as this gives you the best chance to get to know her a little bit more and quickly find a common ground of interest. This can then be further developed into a full blown conversation. It also puts pressure off you trying to score on first attempt with expectations of a long lasting romance or a one night stand and then feeling stupid if you didn’t succeed.

Take your time, and continue practicing. This is the only way you’ll gain confidence over time. The more you do it, the more you’ll feel comfortable picking up women.

In the mean time, Good Luck!
