Everyone wants to be loved and appreciated. For this reason we tend to go through dating and relationships extremely quickly nowadays, and that’s the reality of dating. We either are too afraid to ask the opposite sex out, or when we do it turns out to be an epic failure, in most cases. But, how is one able to attract a guy or girl that they are truly interested in? The key is to be able to know what you are looking for and have the confidence to go out and look for it.

You’ll Feel Much More Confident When You Remember These Facts About Dating And Relationships

Contrary to popular belief, looks do play a role in the attraction between two people. When’s the last time you saw Heidi Klum on a date with Bill Gates? Never, this is because although their personalities may be compatible to one another, their looks just don’t match up. For this reason it is imperative to look your best when you plan on asking someone out. You have to make a good first impression. This isn’t to say that you have to go out and get plastic surgery, or wear expensive clothes. It simply means not to ask a girl out in a raggedy old t-shirt and jeans. Maybe spruce up your outfit with a collared shirt and khakis and use some nicely scented cologne. As we know first impressions last a while so make a good one. The same goes for your first video chat date.

But, appearance is only one component to asking someone out. You must also have confidence so you don’t “freeze up” while you’re asking someone out, or make the date itself awkward. But don’t worry, for most people, mustering enough confidence is not a walk in the park. This can be solved by simply not giving much thought to asking the person out. Go up and simply “freestyle” your whole invitation because the longer you dwell on it the more nervous you will likely get. Looking sharp will only add to your confidence making the combination of confidence and spiffiness may be enough to sway your potential date’s opinion of you in your favor.

Once you’ve asked him/her out and they’ve said yes, the destination of the date is crucial nowadays. If the date is unimpressed with the accommodations the likelihood of a second date is doubtful. Surprise them by taking them to a place that they can remember for a long time, which leaves a good impression. After all, this person could very well be your future husband or wife, and a good story about your first date is always a good thing. Although the place you are at should be special, you still should act the same way you normally would; in other words, be yourself. If you act like someone you aren’t, then for the duration of the relationship you will be stuck being someone that you aren’t.

Never Forget

If you get to the point in this process where you don’t have a good feeling about the current relationship, the beauty behind dating today is that you can start fresh at anytime. The same goes if someone doesn’t like you. The truth about dating and relationships today is that we have much more options than we used to. To sum it up, dating is complicated and takes multiple trial and errors, and it will forever stay that way. So the best way to approach it is casually, but open to all of the options.
