Stealing ideas from other notable and great comedians is the lowest form of plagiarism known to man. Luckily for me Will Smith is not a notable nor is he a great comedian so I don't feel guilty stealing his lines.
Some guys are blessed with the knowledge of knowing what and when to perform a particular move of courtship during a date. A few tend to go overboard with how they act, others tend to blunder blindly throughout the entire date without a clue what is going on. Based on an extensive week long research, (ripping off other people's work) I have compiled a top 10 list of what you should and should not do on a first date.
TOP 10 THINGS YOU SHOULD DO:
1) Dress up nicely
Ask a metrosexual friend to help you dress up this. Fashionable gay friends, would also prove helpful. Get a hair cut that would make your papa weep. And
for goodness sake take a shower and don't overdose on the cologne.
2) Always be punctual for the date.
True she may take like an hour and a half to get ready but it never hurts to be
on time. It'll leave a great first impression (an impression which I can no longer
use to describe me *sobs*)
3) Bring a small gift for her.
A couple of flowers or a tiny box of chocolates though a cliche it is time proven
to endear yourself to her even if the flowers give her hypersensitivity type 1.
4) Bring her to someplace where people know you
A restaurant would be a plus for this. Here the head waiter can give you the best
table in the house with absolute privacy for you to work your magic. In addition
that you personally know which dish to pick for your lady. I heard they get pretty
impressed with guys like that.
5) You avoid taking liquor. She take as much liquor as possible.
You need to keep your wits if you want her to laugh at your jokes or feel for
you're bittersweet memories. To achieve that you need to steer clear of the
happy juice. She on the other hand has to drink steadily throughout the night.
Don't offer her too much otherwise she'll suspect something. Just enough to keep up the buzz.
6) Be a gentleman at all costs.
Simple stuff like opening the car/restaurant/restroom door for her. Helping her
into and out of her chair, thanking and tipping the waiter will help improve her
impression of you.
7) Paying attention.
Keep you're mind on the one thing that matters here. HER. Not her eyes, not her
cleavage and not imagining her in her lingerie laying down on a bed full of roses with some champagne and strawberries with whipped cream by the
bedside(there is plenty of time to do that when you get home and you're all alone in your dark bedroom). Pay attention to what she is saying, and for Heaven's sake, remember what she said no matter how trivial it may be.
8) Conversation
The crystal clear truth is that women don't give a damn to what we men think
about. Keep your conversation to what they are interested about and only add
positive comments to what they are saying. Don't try adding topics you care
about until the 3rd date.
9) Dancing
Usually Hitch I won't recommend dancing on the first date for a number of
reasons. If you can't dance it'll only make you look stupid, furthermore even if
you can dance she may not be able to, making you look like a show off, finally
(take my word for this) as the 'General' of this war of seduction, your 'Privates'
may stand at attention longer than they should. So I'll avoid grinding and
bending to Fiddy's Candy Shop with her unless you wanna freak her out (or
impress her). If you have to dance just remember the two-step and throw around some shuffle and you'll get away with it.
10) Calling her after the date
After you've sent her home, give her a grace period of 30 minutes before calling
her and ask how is she doing. Chat a bit before asking her when she is free for
you're next big night out. Be considerate and don't talk to long if you know that
she has work or class the following morning.
So I conclude the first half of what you shod do on a first date. My second entry would be the other half of what you shouldn't do on a first date. Till then.
