woman<\/em> you are. If you\u2019re coming from work, leave a few minutes early so you can go home and change out of your power clothes. If you\u2019re taking a walk with him, don\u2019t even think of wearing your fanny pack and sweats.<\/p>\nDress femininely, and give him your gift of a big, open smile. (As a note: If you absolutely hate when people are late, let him know so he can make an extra effort. That way your date isn\u2019t a lost cause from the first moments.).<\/p>\n
9. Masculine men want to see your femininity.<\/h2>\n
Studies show that heterosexual men are highly attracted to the feminine aspects of a woman. It\u2019s not that hard to understand, right? That doesn\u2019t mean you need to act like a damsel in distress. In fact, that isn\u2019t at all attractive to real, grownup men. (Mature men want women who are strong and able to take care of themselves, but are also willing and able to receive from these men.)<\/p>\n
On your meet date, let the man pay, accept his compliments graciously, and act with loving kindness. In studies, when men are asked why they chose their wives or girlfriends, they consistently identify her kindness as an attractive feminine quality.<\/p>\n
Step 10. Have fun while you practice.<\/h2>\n
Statistically, your online dating meet-date won\u2019t turn out to be him. So what? Every meeting and date is practice that brings you closer to Mr. I Love You.<\/p>\n
Enjoy the time and be open to what comes up. Don\u2019t come in with an agenda, and don\u2019t let it ruin your time if, in the first 10 minutes, he doesn\u2019t appear to be your man.<\/p>\n
Just relax and let yourself enjoy. You never know; you may just let yourself relax into a very nice feeling. (I\u2019ve seen this happen endless times \u2013 when you give it a chance!)<\/p>\n
You can also use this as a time to help boost the man\u2019s self-esteem. (Yes, men are as nervous and insecure as we are.). He was nice enough to \u201cpick you\u201d and make the effort of meeting you. (Remember, as we get older the men have way more choices than we do.)<\/p>\n
Unless he\u2019s a real creep (which very, very few men are), help him feel good about himself by giving him some compliments and thanking him graciously. You\u2019ll be doing the next woman a favor and sharing a true kindness to this nice man, even if you\u2019re not planning on seeing him again.<\/p>\n
So tell me, do you feel better prepared? Let me know and tell me how else I can help you always\u00a0have fantastic first dates, sister!<\/p>\n
