How To Impress a Woman on a Date

In dating, men’s behaviour and manners play a more significant role then their looks. The truth of the matter is, it is very rare for a woman to fall for a man solely based on his appearance. Real gentlemen are always in demand and a man who knows how to treat a lady on a date has an excellent chance of winning over her heart.

Your personal attention is very powerful

While it may seem an obvious courtesy to speak to her on the phone, many of my female clients tell me this is the exception rather than the rule. Many women tell me that their primary form of communication with someone they are dating is through either email or texts. Men should understand that the primary form of contact should be by phone calls with a sprinkling of emails and texts. Making phone calls shows a caring and personal approach. Sending emails and texts shows a lack of concern and interest.

Take charge of meeting arrangements

Your initiative for a date is powerful and exciting. But get her input and how convenient the location is for her. Always try to plan a unique date with a good location and cosy environment.

Pay her compliments

In all probability she took several hours to get ready for a date with you so that she would create a good impression and look her best. So make sure that you make appropriate comments about how beautiful she looks. Express a positive comment about something that she is wearing or how you like the scent of her perfume.

Old fashioned manners and courtesy are a classic

Opening the car door for her as well as the restaurant door should be something that is done unconsciously – and is always appreciated. Always remember when she is alighting from the car to offer her your hand to help her get out.

Gently does it

Upon arrival at your destination, remember to help her off with her coat, and when you are leaving, help her back into her coat.

When crossing a street

When crossing a street watch out for potholes or other obstructions – especially if she is wearing high heels – and offer her your arm or hand for support so that she does not fall.

When Sitting Down for Dinner

When you are being seated by the maitre’d, pull out the chair for her. She will be impressed, as men rarely do this for their dates these days.

Always stand

When having either lunch or dinner, if she excuses herself to use the bathroom, make sure you stand when she leaves the table, and likewise when she returns. If you do this she will know that you have good manners, that you were brought up to appreciate a lady, and she will be impressed.

Don’t use a cell phone

Never, ever answer a call (or make one), or even send a text message while on a date, unless it is an emergency; in which case explain to her why you have to answer the phone. If you don’t do this, she will assume you are phoning another woman.

Never observe other women while out on a date

The biggest mistake men make is to surreptitiously observe other women while out on a date. Many men think this is normal practice and that their date won’t notice. Don’t believe it. Women notice everything and they will notice what you are doing and assume that you have an eye for the ladies and will be put off accordingly.

Always make sure she gets home safely

Your date’s safety should be your prime concern. Either drive her home yourself, pay for the cab fare or walk her to her door and then make sure she gets safely inside.

The following day

If you genuinely enjoyed the date and want to see her again then make sure you phone her the next day – no emails or texts. Tell her that you enjoyed your date as well as her company and then ask her out again.

Remember in this age of female equality, chivalry is not dead and buried. A woman always appreciates courtesy and good manners, provided it is not overdone. If you don’t practice the tips I have given you above, then you will appear to be just like every other man she dates. But show some courtesy and manners and you will really stand out from the other men she meets. And it is a known fact that one of the ways to win the heart of a beautiful woman is to be the perfect gentleman.
