6 Tips For Successfully Landing A Date

By: Jim Mackey Home | News-and-Society | Dating


Dating can be both exciting and scary. You're excited to meet someone new with whom you share the same views, perspectives and experiences. But, you may be intimidated by the prospect of gaining and keeping the other person's interest while slowly committing yourself to an unknown future. Millions of people search daily for the person who might be a good match for them. Some fail. Some succeed. There's no formula that guarantees success. However, there are a few things you can do to stack the deck in your favor. Below, you'll discover 6 quick tips that you can put to use immediately to get the most out of your dating experiences.

Tip #1: Know Who You Want

Know the kind of person you want to meet before you begin actively searching. That way, you'll be able to quickly and easily focus your attention and efforts on finding the person who's right for you.

Tip #2: Looks Matter

When you're beginning to date, buy some new clothes that project an image that feels comfortable. Don't try to be someone you're not. But, replacing those ripped jeans and t-shirts with some nice clothes can both boost your confidence and attract suitable singles.

Tip #3: Know What You Want

You can't be honest with others until you're honest with yourself. If you want to find someone to marry in a couple of years, it's best to know that upfront. If you're simply looking for physical intimacy, be honest with yourself. The dating world is filled with people looking for different things. Be honest and you'll likely find someone who wants the same things as you.

Tip #4: Be Practical About Your Chances

If you want to date a supermodel and won't settle for less, you'll have fewer chances to meet someone who complements you. There's nothing wrong with having goals and expectations (it's helpful, actually), but be realistic about your goals and your chances of fulfilling them. Otherwise, you'll sabotage your own dating efforts.

Tip #5: Pick Your Turf

Successful dating requires planning. Most people rush in without any idea where they'll concentrate their efforts. The truth is, if you focus on a few locations such as local bookstores, coffee shops and a few online dating sites, you'll have a much better chance of finding your special match than if you haphazardly leave it to chance.

Tip #6: Don't Rush In

The dating world is filled with eligible singles. Each person has unique thoughts, ideas, skills and personalities. When you meet someone exciting, don't rush in to commit to an exclusive relationship. Take some time to get to know the other person. Meet other people, too. There's a world of opportunity to meet, learn about and socialize with others. Take advantage of it.

Having Fun Dating

Dating can be a lot of fun if you give it a chance. Certainly have goals and know what kind of person you want to meet. That'll help you hone your efforts. But, give yourself time to enjoy meeting new people.
