So he’s finally asked you out on a date? Congratulations!

After what will I wear, the biggest question that plagues a girl's mind before going on a date is what will I talk about? This is the big question that keeps many people away from the fun and pleasure of dating. But it need not be that horrifying. A date should be preceded by moments of tingling pleasure and expectations, not by nail-biting terror and fear.

How To Make Your First Date Successful?

Starting The Conversation: When you arrive for your date, just ask him if he’s been waiting for too long (assuming he’s already there). I’m not too late, am I? This is a good way to start the conversation. Next you can go on to describe how excited you were to go on your first date with him and so on. All this should carry you safely through the first few awkward minutes.

Pay A Compliment: The best way to break the ice is paying a compliment to your date. You have nice eyes. You have a lovely smile. You are wearing a very nice shirt. The list is endless really. Usually guys make the first few moves as they think it’s expected of them. But nevertheless, be prepared to carry on the conversation.

Get To Know Him: The date is a way of getting to know each other better. So you can ask a few questions about him and also be prepared to answer some questions about yourself. This is also a very good way to keep the ball rolling. Whenever you see a conversation dead zone approaching, ask him something about himself. And this is how you re-strike a dead conversation. But be careful, don’t ask too personal or pointed questions. Ask only the questions that he (or you yourself) would feel comfortable answering.

These three pointers should safely see you through your first date. If you are still not too sure, just dress up nice and feminine. Most of the time, the guy won’t even notice the lack of conversation. They get so absorbed by the other charms of their dates. So just be confident, smile sweetly and you’ll sail through your first date with flying colors…
