First Impression - Part 2
Hi Readers,
How are you? Hope your day is well. Here are some of the tips again taken from the Hitch website for your successful first date.
I have enclosed the first of the tips previously, in case you missed it: Here it is...
I'll go through the first one and expand on it further. However, before we do that, I'd just like to say that the first impression on a first date can either make it or break it for you.
You need to be very aware that ladies are very detailed conscious. Ever noticed when one of your friends (girl) make a comment on what colour mascara that other girl is wearing? Or, what about when she mentions that the other girl seems to wear too much make up?
Alternatively, how about when your girlfriend makes a comment on how that other woman who's wearing a short skirt doesn't match the colour of her shoes, along with her funky top???
I know!?? Beats me, but most guys (including myself) doesn't notice this much of a great detail. So, knowing this - how can you turn this knowledge to your advantage?
Well, first up according to Hitch you need to make sure of these things: By the way, I'll also be adding a tip of my own after each of Hitch's tip, that way, I can expand it further for you and you can have more tricks up your sleeve. So here they are...
Hitch's tip #1:
Make it a point to remember her first name. A man may forgive you, if you say: "I'm sorry, I don't remember your name", a woman, most likely will not. So, mention her name a couple of times if you have to but not more than three times. Otherwise, you might freak her out.
Even if you say, "it was nice meeting you, Karen" can go a long way.
My tip:
One way to remember her name easily is to associate something unique about her with her name. How do you do this - you may ask?
Well, for example her name is Karen and she has a very unique mole on her upper right corner of her lip. You need to break down her name into syllables that sounds like something else and you can put a picture on it.
So, for Karen - it sounds like "car" and "ran". So, you can think of it like a running car. Then you need to use the unique assocation that Karen has (in this example - a "mole"). So you can think of something like a "mole" driving a "running car".
So next time you see Karen, the first thing you'll notice is her mole on her upper corner of her right lip. Then you will associate that mole driving a running car.
You will then associate "mole" with "running" "car", so that makes her name "run" "car" (Karen)!
I know, it sounds a bit "silly" but it works. Let me ask you, have you ever met someone, then after having not seen them in a while you remember their name so easily because of a certain feature on them?
Which could be one of many things: a tie, the colour of their hair, their earring, their ring, the shape of their forehead, their pointed nose, the way they walk, the way they speak, the way they smile... there are so many things - but I think you get my drift...
Or, how about have you tried describing someone to a friend of yours and you can't remember their name, but you remember what they look like or what they were wearing - then you both agree by saying "oh yeah"?
Well, that's exactly what I mean.
So, try this out for yourself. You may not get it the first time, but you will get it after some practice.
Now, we're on to the second tip for a successful First Impression on your "First Date". Once again, I will show you the tip from "Hitch" and include one of my own...
Hitch's tip #2:
Make sure that your clothes fit. Call your mom, (if you have to) if you don't know your shirt size. Also, when it comes to pants, it's cool to wear your jeans a little long, and your trousers should be long enough so that when you walk, your socks don't show. Keeping in mind that when you sit down, your socks will show.
Here's one tip that I think is really appropriate that Hitch suggests:
"Match your socks to your shoes, or to your pants. Wearing white socks with your trousers isn't a sign of athleticism; it's a lapse in judgement".
My tip:
It is imperative that you also match your shoes with the colour of trousers you're wearing. What do I mean you ask?
I have seen other guys in their business attire - smart looking and all... then when you look at their shoes - they're wearing Sneakers???? Not only that, they were wearing white socks with their black pants and their long sleeve business shirt!??
I mean, they're on their way to work and conduct business not play basketball, isn't it? So, the same goes for your first date - you want to impress her not play basketball with her don't you???
So... make sure you're pants are long enough but not high enough on your waist - so you don't look like Steve Erkl... make it smart, simple and effective...
By the way, here's another one:
Make sure the colour of your shoes, match the colour of your belt. And, make sure you're socks are also the same colour as your shoes. Hence, your socks, shoes and belt must match in colour.
I used to work in retail and sold many garments and numerous business suits and this is one of the many things I learnt. It's amazing how many guys, miss these important little details. So, I hope this helps you as well.
Anyway, that's it for now folks. We'll cover the rest of the tips and continue on shortly.
Until then have a great day and see you in blogosphere.
Cheers,
Mr. Date
