For those women out there that want to make the best first impression, there are some things that you should take into account. Of course everyone out there is different, but throughout my opinion and my experience, here are how women can mess up that first date, and not get a second one.

1. It’s okay to show a little skin, in fact it is encouraged. But don’t go overboard with it to the point that you are looking slutty. Sure there are a lot of guys that like this look, but if you are a woman and you are looking for a serious long term relationship, or even marriage, ensure that you dress appropriate and don’t show too much skin to where every guy around you is going to be staring you down in awe.

2. Keep the talk about the ex out of the conversation. I don’t want to hear why it didn’t work out. I don’t want to hear all of the things that he did wrong. Would I eventually want to hear all this crap? Not really, but especially do not want to hear about him on our very first date. That is a sure way, and a sure sign that I am going to escape.

3. Please don’t talk about marriage on the first date, even if you are just joking around. Also do not insist that you are ‘falling in love’ already. This is one of the biggest ways you can scare of a guy on the first date.

4. If you are going to have some alcoholic beverages, keep it to a minimum and don’t get sloppy drunk. Some guys like women that get drunk because it makes them feel like they are going to get ‘lucky’. Though this may be true, no one is going to take you seriously and are only going to use you for one thing, and it’s not going to be that long lasting relationship with kids that you have always wanted.

5. Let the guy make the first move. He should, he is the guy. You don’t have to go in for the kiss. If it is towards the end of the date and he does not make a move yet, you could help him out and talk him through it. If not, let him go and move on, there are plenty of more fish in the sea of love.
