The times are different, and if we only used to go out with people we used to live in, today we are not surprised to hear stories of people who have never met, but are planning to have a coffee or a beer. Whether through Tinder or dating sites, we are increasingly used to the idea of ​​giving the unknown a chance.

If you are still unsure how to act in these situations, rest assured: With the following tips, it will be hard not to make a good first impression on your date:

1 - Speak

While listening to what the other person has to say is always a good tactic, talking about yourself is even better. If you play dead fly that barely opens your mouth, it will hardly make a good impression on the other person, and even more difficult to make them want to go out with you again. Ask questions, tell your stories and share your opinions. Having common sense and respect, it's all right.

Ah, the first date ...

2 - Don't always wrap and speak the truth - be controversial, including

Do you know what this advice means? That you must show who you really are and that you shouldn't spend the whole encounter stepping on eggs, trying not to make mistakes, show flaws or controversy. Better than perfection, which is something that doesn't even exist, by the way, is spontaneity. "People remember extremes, not mediocrity, " dating expert Julian Reisinger told The Independent.

So ... do you like ... things?

3 - Be a little out of the ordinary

Human beings are really curious creatures: we keep trying to fit in with standards of beauty, behavior, religion, sexuality ... And when it comes to what delights us, we prefer the different person., which has its own way and that is positive about life in general. Be that kind of person. Get out of the mold.

Incarnate the differentone or the big guy - but in moderation

4 - Pay attention to body language

When a person shows confidence in body language, they automatically position themselves ahead of others. In this case, have a firm handshake, keep your posture upright and do not avoid making eye contact - looking into someone's eyes as you speak demonstrates confidence and respect.

When someone talks to you but doesn't look you in the eye, that person gives the impression that everything, everything, is more interesting than what you say. Do not do it. What's more, stay comfortable in your surroundings, don't crouch or with your arms crossed at all times.

- Favourite colour? - uh

5 - So many emotions!

Once, writer and poet Maya Angelou said, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget what you made them feel." Take this seriously and show that you are a human being and have feelings.

People too cold or too far away never make a good impression. If the idea is to make that match make a second date, make him feel right next to you. Jokes are always welcome (as long as they are pleasant and timely), as are telling interesting stories, showing interest, and willingness to help if needed and if you can.

6 - Don't forget to be a good listener.

Although you need to talk and be communicative, it is critical to be a good listener when the other person is speaking. In that sense, pay attention, show interest, and don't focus your thoughts on what you have to say next. Let the conversation flow naturally and listen to what the other person is saying with an open heart - they will possibly feel it and remember you with love.

Congratulations!
