Create A Good First Impression
This should begin with personal cleanliness and general hygiene.
Cut your hair if it needs a trim and chop off any untidy whiskers by having a shave. After shave lotion is not required (some women simply don’t like it), however you must be clean. Ensure that you’re wearing good looking garments that you feel comfortable in and that fit you properly.
Don’t Talk Too Much About Yourself
Don’t talk too much about yourself. Exchange information at an even pace and don’t spill your guts about yourself by revealing too much too soon.
Ask the woman lots of questions about herself and try to really listen to her answers. Don’t be a detective. Give brief responses to her answers that in some way relate to yourself, then immediately steer the conversation by asking more questions.
Women love to talk, so remember things she’s told you and bring them up later because this will impress her.

Mind Your Manners
While taking some time to learn about manners and chivalry will serve you well, remember not to behave like you do when you are hanging out with the boys.
For example, eliminate the coarse language and don’t blow out snot rockets while you are walking from the car to the restaurant. Women want to be treated with respect. Hold the door open for your date and totally eliminate the crude and coarse language.
It can also assist to know how and what to eat in a classy restaurant. Also, learn a bit about fashion, jewelry, flowers and so on by reading magazines targeted at women.
Keeping Up With Current Affairs
Don’t overlook keeping up with current affairs that you can discuss in the conversation.
Try to focus on the more positive aspects of current events and don’t express negative energy or strong negative feelings to the not so good news headlines.
Current events like movies, celebrities and music are more interesting and positive than what your local politicians are up to.
Edit Your Sports Language
Most blokes enjoy sports and that’s fine, but it shouldn’t be all you talk and think about, at least while you are with your date.
Some women enjoy sports too, but they don’t tend to talk about it all the time like blokes can. Many women interpret an obsession with sports talk as a total lack of thought, creativity or inspiration.
Put On Your Dancing Shoes
Because dancing is considered sexy and romantic, you might want to consider learning how to dance if you don’t dance already. Women love to dance, and the major benefit for you is that it puts you in close contact with each other.
The only thing worse than being a horrendous dancer is staying seated when your date would like to dance. Consider taking dancing lessons together.
Don’t Expect Sex On The First Date
Don’t expect sex on the first date unless you have made specific arrangements with someone from an adult dating website. The experienced players maintain control by being patient, and at the same time keep them wondering if you are even interested in having sex with them.
Mask Your Smokers Breath
Make an attempt to get rid of your smoker’s breath and cough. Ironically enough, some women who smoke don’t like the smell of smoke on their man. However, pay special attention to your smokers breath if she does not smoke.
Don’t Frequent Pubs Clubs And Dives
It’s okay to go to pubs, clubs, and dives every now and then for a drink. However, unless you are both alcoholics, don’t hang out in these places. There is plenty of other fun things to do without the need to associate yourself with the meaningless activity of compulsive drinking.
Summary
As best you can, act like a gentleman who is out on a date, and not like some yobbo at the football with his mates. If you are not a gentleman yet, act as if you are one until it becomes a habit.
