Anyone who has been on a 1st date knows how nerve-racking it can be. You want things to go well and sometimes that causes you to make decisions that are uncharacteristic of your normal self.

The good thing is that there are a few strategies that you can adopt which will ensure things go smoothly on your date. Your success will rely on many variables, but there are 3 areas that you can control. Follow these strategies to give yourself the best chance at success on your 1st date.

1. Do Not Overlook Your Hygiene

Your hygiene is vitally important if you are going to escalate your “kino” throughout the date. No woman will sleep with you if she is repulsed by your hygiene. It’s one of the easiest things to do before going out on a date, but also one of the most overlooked.

Let’s start with the basics, taking a shower. It takes very little effort to make sure you are smelling nicely on your date. Besides showering, you should use an appropriate amount of cologne or body spray if that’s your thing.

Deodorant is also a must to keep you dry throughout the night. Brush your teeth and use mouthwash before going out to make sure your breath is fresh. You also should have gum or breath mints on your person as well in case you need reinforcements.

Finally, almost all hairstyles and facial hair can be acceptable these days, but make sure they are groomed correctly. Whatever look you are going for, make sure that it is crisp and exactly the way it’s supposed to be. Trim those areas that are often disregarded such as your nose and ear hairs.

Don’t let your hygiene be the reason why you aren’t successful on a date. You will need to be confident and focused during the date and taking care of your hygiene will go a long way in helping you achieve both of those goals. You wouldn’t want your date to be lacking in this area so don’t overlook it yourself.

2. Plan Your Date

The entire date should be planned before going out. If you plan to bring her home at the end of the night, you need to have your place ready. Have your drink glasses clean and handy if you will be using them to have a nightcap. Have your candles and lighter or matches ready.

And most important of all, clean your home! This includes washing your sheets, cleaning your bathroom, and using your vacuum and broom. You don’t have to be a neat freak to want your place to look nice. You want her first impression to be that she is with a man who takes care of himself and his home.

Be in control during your date. What this means is to have a plan in place so you aren’t struggling to come up with suggestions during the date. Know where you are going, how long you might be there, and what place you will end up. If you are going to a bar/lounge to meet your date for drinks, have another future location planned in case things are going well.

Being indecisive and unsure of things will make you look weak to your date and others. With a little preparation, you can avoid this completely. Things are not going to go 100% to plan, but mapping things out ahead of time will give you the confidence to make the next move and take the proper risks during your date.

It’s also important to be flexible and react to different variables on the date. Stay present and stay focused on enjoying yourself and the time you are out with your date. Even if the night is not a success, practicing habits to plan out your dates will go a long way to ensuring your future success with dating.

3. Fill up your tank/check your bank account

You don’t want any surprises on your date. Most of the things that will take place will be in your control. Make sure to check your funds so you don’t have an embarrassing moment when the check comes after dinner.

True story, One of my best friends went out with a woman and after ordering his food decided to check his bank account. He only had $15 which was not going to be enough for their food and drinks. Luckily, he was able to make up an excuse to leave, and he ended up only paying for the drinks.

The moral of the story, don’t end up like my friend. Make sure you have enough money before you go out for your date. You probably shouldn’t even be dating if you are struggling financially, but that’s another story. Just check your accounts before the date to avoid a potentially embarrassing situation.

Also, if you are going to pick your date up, make sure you have enough gas for the night. You don’t want to have any unnecessary stops along the way such as stopping at Chevron or Shell to fill up your tank. Keep your vehicle clean as well. Most women won’t judge you on the car you drive, but a messy or dirty car can lose you major points.

Conclusion

Everybody always says you have to take risks to have success. This is true in many areas of life including the dating game. You take a risk when you ask a woman out on a date and several more are taken from there. The area you do not want to take a risk in is your preparation. You want your date to be as scripted as a Broadway play.

Before your date begins, you should have already given proper attention to your hygiene, checked your finances, and planned out your entire evening. It’s important to know where you want the date to go before it even begins. With your preparation taken care of, you can now focus your attention on the things that matter, like being yourself and having fun. From there, all things are possible. As always, stay positive!
