10 Things That Are Supposed to Happen on a Date ...

Men should take charge. They’re the ones who are supposed to make the plan. It’s their job to arrange all of the details for each date. They’re the man. Let them act like one. The man planning is one of the things that are supposed to happen on a date.

If you didn’t meet him online, you should encourage a dinner date. Drinks is an audition, dinner is a real date. When you have dinner with someone, it’s easier to get to know him over a meal. You can see his manners and spend more quality time together.

I don’t believe that drinking on a date is a bad thing. Some people need a drink or two to help them feel more relaxed. If that’s your thing, make sure you know your limit so you can enjoy the date. However, drinking in moderation is key. Getting sloppy isn’t sexy.

Men like women who can teach them something. They want to date someone who’s intellectually curious. On a date, you should be having conversations that are unique. Anyone can talk about their job and their friends. If you’re stimulating, you’ll be hard to forget.

Smile. It’s that simple. Men are drawn to women who have a fabulous smile. Flash your pearly whites as often as you can. Keep in mind that men respond well to positivity.

Asking questions seems like an obvious thing of what you’re supposed to do on a date. Right? I would think so! If you seem curious about the man sitting across from you, he’ll be eager to tell you all about him. There’s a difference between asking questions and making someone feel like they’re on an interview. Ask him questions but don’t make him feel like he’s being grilled.

Being a good listener is just as important as being a great conversationalist. Listening is a skill. When you ask him questions, listen to his answers. Don’t interrupt him.

Men want a woman who exudes confidence. Believe it or not, confidence is the sexiest thing you can wear. A fully clothed confident woman is equally as sexy as a naked woman! When you’re self-assured and love yourself, people will want to be around you.

In the beginning, the first few dates are his treat. Don’t offer to pay half, and don’t do the fake reach. Men can see right through that. After dinner, don’t forget to be polite and thank him for a yummy meal.

You see the pattern here. He’s the man. He plans the date, pays on the date, and of course, he makes the move. Men are simple; if they want to kiss you, they will.

Dating is all about getting to know someone and creating a good impression. Do you have anything to add to the list of things that are supposed to happen on a first date?
