DATING TIPS: MAKING THE FIRST MOVES

by Livingstone on Jun.23, 2009, under Singles Dating

Have you ever admired someone and wished you could know better?  Have you looked over and seen someone subconsciously staring at you?  Are you afraid of letting someone know how you feel because you are afraid they might not be interested?  Well you may not be alone.  Almost all of us at some point in our lives have felt this way.  If you really want to get that person’s attention, and find out if they could be interested in you, then learn how to date.

 

There is no one approach to dating.  People do it in different ways and how they feel comfortable about it.  Some of us like to be subtle and give signals while others can be more assertive and blunt, like the extrovert kind of people.  Your success depends highly on the person you are willing to date and your own style.

 

Dating is a great way to seek out the information that you want.  It also does not have to be very emotional.  If the other person doesn’t respond then you can move on to something or someone else.  Knowing how to date effectively is the key to getting them interested and keeping them that way.  For those that have very little dating experience there are a few tips you can follow to get the attention of that special person.

 

Now try glancing over at the one you are interested in, at frequent intervals.  You don’t have to stare at them down just occasionally glance.  It is okay to make eye contact with them and smile.  Whatever you do, don’t look away the second they notice you glancing.  This will make both of you quite uncomfortable.

 

If you are in a public place like the cinema, eatery, bar, you could try making trips near the person you are interested in, and smile as you pass by.  This can be interpreted as friendliness.

 

If you finally approach the person and engage them in conversation, compliments always are nice.  You don’t want to overdo it or make them obvious.  For example, you can make genuine compliments on their clothing, hairdo, and jewelries or even in their profession. Just say something nice.

People like to know they have a good sense of humour.  Laughing at good jokes is always nice only if you find it funny.

Moreso, since you have gotten the opportunity to start a conversation with the special person, enquire about hobbies, birthdays, likes and dislikes.  These are meant to getting to know the person and laying the groundwork for possibilities of future dates.

 

Aside this, you may also note the following tips to help in your successful dating experience:

 

Firstly, one of the first rules of dating is to never do it for the sake of it.  Although dating is relatively harmless, but remember you may be playing with someone’s emotions.  Dating someone you are not interested in isn’t nice at all.

 

Secondly, you ensure you look nice and are dressed for the occasion.  You just want to be noticed, not to embarrass people.

 

Thirdly, watch your body language.  About one-third of their attention will go to this.  Watch what you do.  Make sure you are not doing anything embarrassing with your hands or moving about too much.  Stand up straight, don’t be nervous, and just be confident.

 

Lastly, a significant part of dating goes to what is said.  Try to stay calm.  If you are naturally funny or charming then use this to your advantage, if not, then the less said the better. Try to engage in a friendly conversation.

 

All of these tips are harmless things that can help in your dating encounter. So, to find out if that special person is interested in you, then try paying attention to how you look, what you do and what you say to a degree, you could be warming yourself into the heart of that special soul mate.
