The Dilemma of What to Buy the Lady in Your Life this Holiday Season

Posted on November 29th, 2007 in Dating Tips - Men by

Buying a gift for that special lady you have been seeing can be a tough decision for a guy to make. The gift you buy her will signify where you feel you are in the relationship. This can be a risky maneuver if you are not sure of her feelings toward you.

Impress Her with Your Ingenuity

Most women are not really concerned with the gift, they want to see that their man thinks about them and planning a romantic evening for the two of you on your own will really impress her. There are so many little touches you can add to make it a special evening complete with flowers, music, candles and a delicious, if not elegant dinner. What would really blow her mind is if you cooked the dinner yourself. A woman loves to see a man in the kitchen, and it can be a real turn-on.

Planning Your Romantic Evening

Decide what you are going to prepare for dinner. If you are not a chef in the kitchen, prepare something easy such as spaghetti, warm Italian bread and a fresh, green salad. To learn how to cook a meal for two, check this out. Choose an appropriate wine to accompany the meal. Be sure you buy something sinful and chocolaty for dessert as this will put the evening over the top. There is nothing a woman likes more than being feted with attention and chocolate.

Buy a fresh bouquet of flowers. They don’t have to be roses; a simple floral bouquet will suffice. You will also want to choose the music you intend to play during the evening. Choose music that is soft and romantic to get you both in the mood.

Lighting scented candles and having them scattered about lends the evening a mysterious air. The air will be full of sensuous scents and soft strains of your favorite songs. You would be hard pressed to find a woman that won’t appreciate all the time and effort you have put into your special evening as a gift for the two of you.

Button up Those Lips on A First Date

Posted on November 23rd, 2007 in First Dates by

A first date is one of life’s most exciting experiences.  You agonize over what to wear, how to fix your hair and if your breath is fresh enough to pass muster. It is natural to be nervous, and oftentimes when people are nervous they babble to fill silent voids and lulls in conversation. Many times the topics they touch on are controversial, and could have disastrous consequences for the prospective relationship.

Don’t Stick Your Foot in Your Mouth

The biggest turn off is when your date harps on and on about his or ex. Sure, you can mention any serious relationships in the past, but there’s really no necessity to get into specifics and personal details.  Talking incessantly about an ex lover can indicate to your date that you still have unresolved feelings. There will be plenty of time to talk about that subject when you know each other better.

Bragging about accomplishments can be a bore as well. No one wants to listen to someone trying to convince you how great and wonderful they are. This will set off alarms that you are insecure and you need validation. It may instead indicate that you are arrogant and full of yourself.

Religion and Politics are always Taboo

First dates should be an exploration, a chance to see if there is attraction and chemistry between two people. Subjects like religion and politics are heavy and shouldn’t be delved into on a first date. If you like each other and want to continue to date, there will be lots of time to have heated debates on a number of subjects. There are many things that are light hearted and interesting enough to talk about on your first time out together.

Remember to think before you speak and that it is okay to have silence between you. You don’t have to blurt out whatever is on your mind during a lull, you can think about what would be appropriate and ensure there is no embarrassment on either side.

Clothing speaks a thousand words of your personality and the kind of person you are. It reflects your attitude towards life, towards your self, and your overall taste and classiness in general.

He has already fallen for you by asking you out. And if you are the one to have asked him out, then the fact that he has agreed to come talks enough of his attraction towards you. To confirm this attraction into something more and lasting, here is what you can do.

  • If he offers to choose a place, make sure it is not overly priced. Frankly, it sends a cheapskate signal knowing it is usually a guy’s prerogative to look after the bill. Instead, choose a place which is fun and adventurous rather than going for a regular dining experience, something that suits both of yours taste or something that is bound to interest him.
