Guys Getting Ready to Date<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Are pick up lines a no-go? Can I wear my lucky ripped jeans? What should we talk about? On a first date, every moment is an opportunity to make or break her first impression of you. So whether you consider yourself a regular Casanova, or a total dating novice who\u2019s prone to faux pas \u2013 we could all benefit from a few tips to make sure we ace that crucial first date (and have fun while doing it).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s start with the basics<\/strong> – <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dress to impress!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re not saying wear a tux, but a bit of effort goes a long way. Think a nice pair of jeans or slacks, an ironed shirt and maybe leave the scruffy runners at home. You only get one chance at a first impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personal hygiene<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sitting next to each other, holding hands, maybe even a kiss if all goes to plan \u2013 dating can be an intimate process. Make sure you are feeling and smelling<\/em> your best so you are ready to cuddle up to your date without scaring her away. Coming straight from work? A bit of mouthwash and a spritz of deodorant should do the trick, and don\u2019t go overboard with the cologne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To filter or not to filter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s nothing wrong with a bit of creative license with your profile picture, but at least make sure it\u2019s recent. If you\u2019re a bit thin on top, a decade-old picture of you with a head of glossy curls is just false advertising. This isn\u2019t online dating \u2013 you\u2019re about to meet her straight away \u2013 so any illusions about your height, age or baldness-status will be exposed pretty quickly<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chivalry isn\u2019t dead<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At CitySwoon events you aren\u2019t confined to a table or specific corner of the bar \u2013 you can both enjoy your date anywhere you want. Make sure you give the lady the option to choose where she feels most comfortable. It could be on a sofa, at a tall table or even standing at the bar, but being a gentleman and letting her choose is common courtesy and will make sure your date gets off to a good start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mingle at the break<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When someone is making up their mind whether they want to date you or not, one of the key things they\u2019re watching for is how you interact with other people. So don\u2019t be shy \u2013 move around, chat to different people, that\u2019s what you\u2019re here to do. Just try not to talk with your mouth full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember her name<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it\u2019s time to move onto the next date, thank your current date for her time and remember her name \u2013 it will make her feel important and valued. Just see how it feels when she remembers (or doesn\u2019t remember) yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not a job interview<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t ask the same questions every other guy in the room is asking. If you\u2019re having an interesting conversation, you\u2019ll be able to figure out what she does by context. The three most common questions that are guaranteed to bore your date are: \u2018So, what do you do?\u2019, \u2018Where do you live?\u2019 and \u2018What do you drive?\u2019 People think about these things all day every day \u2013 CitySwoon events are about personality, not your resume (or bank balance).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open, not closed<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This one\u2019s easy. You can find out far more about someone by letting them talk about something than simply answering Yes or No. As an example \u2013 \u2018Do you like to travel?\u2019 is almost guaranteed to get a simple \u2018Yes\u2019. But asking \u2018So, where was your last holiday?\u2019 invites your date to expand on something they probably feel quite passionate about and gives them the freedom to relax into the conversation. And that can lead to tangents which take you both into territory you might not have expected to cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look, listen, laugh<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Eye contact is the single-biggest (and most undervalued) part of chemistry. Don\u2019t stare at your phone, into the distance or at your feet. Looking into someone\u2019s eyes when they\u2019re telling a story shows you are engaging with them, and as a result, you\u2019ll naturally listen to what they\u2019re saying, rather than just hearing them. You\u2019re also more likely to pick up on subtle humour or sarcasm this way, and the quality of conversation will increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a two-way street<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Remember that you\u2019re both<\/em> there to learn about each other. You have 15 minutes, so in theory you should both be talking for about 7 \u00bd minutes each in total. So don\u2019t just let her talk about herself \u2013 volunteer information about you or draw parallels with something she says to your own life. Building common ground is very important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why So Serious?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CitySwoon events are designed to be fun\u2026so look like you\u2019re enjoying yourself and remember that \u2018it takes more muscles to frown than to smile\u2019. One of the most attractive qualities in a man is the ability to not take himself too seriously so a bit of self-deprecation never does any harm. Those who laugh together, stay together \u2013 so relax and show off your sense of humour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’re Not On The Trading Floor<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u2026and Leonardo DiCaprio isn\u2019t asking you to sell her a pen. There\u2019s no need to go for the hard sell by asking her for her phone number without invitation. CitySwoon\u2019s format means you can message each other through the website after the event, and if it\u2019s mutual enough, you can exchange contact details there. Asking outright for someone\u2019s number might tip her over the edge into saying no, whereas giving her the space and time to decide for herself will result in a better reaction down the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just Have Fun<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust be yourself\u201d might be the oldest (and most trite) dating tip in the book. Between trying to tell funny jokes, remembering names and thinking of interesting questions to ask, it can be hard to remember to enjoy yourself. At CitySwoon events, the number one priority is to meet new people, broaden your social circle and have a fun night out. Ladies love nothing more than someone who is confident, fun-loving and not trying too hard \u2013 so don\u2019t take these tips, the evening, or yourself too seriously.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
