Face Care and Anti-Aging For Men Series - A Gentleman's Guide For Your First Date

If you're a bit nervous regarding the approaching of your romantic first date, don't worry, it's perfectly natural. You should keep your head clear, so that you can plan a perfect first date.

The importance of a good plan

Choosing a good place to eat has a great influence on the overall result of the first date. It's not just about the color of the table cloths. It's also important to know what food they serve there, how is the service and what's that neighborhood like. During the decision making, it's good to have a few options available, in case one of them becomes inaccessible and you could also consider asking her about what she feels like doing. Maybe she has something in particular in mind, so if you want to make her like you, you should consider her preferences too. Although most women like to be surprised by their male counterparts and don't like getting involved in the choosing and deciding.

When you review your options, you must focus on activities and things you'll both enjoy. Go over the fun date ideas section in local newspapers or check the local theaters, cinemas or other cultural happenings in your town. Remember, it's very important that she's entertained and you both have a good time, otherwise you will be responsible with changing her mood or saving the evening. Exhibitions, galleries, museums or other interactive locations can be a good start for your first date.

Women love to be given the opportunity of doing exciting things they never have done before, but with one condition: these activities have to leave them stay in their comfort zones. Don't take her to the zoo if you know she has animal-related phobias and don't take her to the aquarium if she doesn't find sharks to be a pleasant sight. Take her in a more neutral zone, provided with fun and exciting activities, but not too demanding or risky.
If you're going to a movie or a theatre, make sure you also go somewhere else, because you must get the chance to talk and know her better. A movie and a dinner afterwards would be a great chance to entertain her and still get the chance to collect the fruit of your hard work.

Choosing a Great restaurant
This is risky and you have to be very careful when you make a selection. The mistake men often do is choosing a super-fancy restaurant, thinking only about means to impress their partner. But over-expensive and luxurious places can often backfire and your partner not only won't feel great and enjoy the luxury, but it will most certainly make her feel uncomfortable and scary. Golden plates and hundreds of dollars for a bottle of wine are not ways to have a nice, refreshing evening on a first date. Your date will feel uncomfortable and uneasy all night long. Choosing the restaurant is about the experience, not about the bill.

On the other hand, choosing a cheap place isn't a good option, either. She'll get the impression that you didn't care enough to make things perfect for the date or that you are not that interested in her. Also, avoid chain restaurants and pick a place with personality. No matter what town you're living in, surely there's a nice and cozy place you can have a lovely dinner without spending half your salary. If you already know the place, that's even better, so you know what to expect. If you want to try out a new place, check the reviews or go there on the day before to see it for yourself. Check the menu also and be sure to know exactly what you order, so you don't have any nasty surprises.

Definitely avoid noisy places, if you don't want to sabotage your date. Check the internet for reviews, because people often include this information when they write about a bar or restaurant. You should be able to sustain a conversation during your date and to get to know each other, so you must go to a reasonably quiet place.

While you wait for a table, it would be best to break the ice with a nice drink down at the bar. Another option would be to have first the dinner in a quiet place and then go to a trendy nightspot where there's dancing and noise. Whatever you decide for, let her know so she can dress accordingly. She needs to feel comfortable and to look good at the same time. Everybody knows that ladies are very particular about their outfit and nothing upsets them more than dressing inappropriately.

First impression
Nothing can be more embarrassing for the female partner than to realize you two are dressed for different occasions. Women can easily tell if the guy put serious thought in his appearance or not. A good outfit means cleaned, washed, ironed, wrinkle-free clothes, matched with a good tie and dark colored socks. Check yourself in the mirror and watch carefully for tags, holes or anything else. If you wear something new, check the clothes for tags or other flaws. It is important to have a neat appearance so that you can both feel comfortable with each other.

Now before you dress up, it is of course necessary to put those clothes on a clean and groomed body. Bodily odors are the last thing you can do to impress your partner. Take a shower, wash the hair or at least change the underwear if you're in a hurry. If you're going directly to the date from work, wipe out your sweaty arms and other nasty smelling parts with baby wipes you can find in the restaurant. Also, don't exaggerate with the perfume either, considering that you're going to eat in a short while. Nails, ears, shoes and other extremities need to be cleaned and thoroughly checked for impurities.

Finally, pay close attention to your face, as this is where your date is going to look. You should closely follow an intense men's anti-aging face care treatment if you want to dazzle your partner and everyone else, for that matter. What you're interested in is a clean, fresh and radiant face, with no signs of premature aging or other impurities. She has to feel invited to touch it and to find out what it feels like, if it looks this good. Moreover, if a goodnight kiss is in the cards, you are maximizing your chances even more.

You should tend to your face with great care and quality products. Those who are used to throw a little water on their face each morning and soap every once in a while are not looking to a bright future. Apart from the fact that it leaves your face dry and inflamed, the dead cells are not removed and the pores are not cleaned from all the debris they collect each day from the environment.

To best way to preserve your skin's natural balance and to retain as much collagen as it can is to start an intensive maintenance program. Start by cleaning your face with a high-quality men's cleanser that rubs all the dead cells and dirt but leaves intact the moisture and elasticity. The products found in drugstores or cheap department stores won't do your face any good, because either they contain a lot of chemicals that strip your face's moisture, either they use no efficient formula to prevent signs of premature aging. Cheap products are always harmful and it's best to be avoided.

The second step refers to a treatment that removes the wrinkles and fills the small lines from around your eyes and mouth. Your man face is very much exposed to these issues, due to the daily shaving or natural elements like sun, dust, extreme temperatures that usually damage your skin and lead to premature aging. You can solve those issues and prevent future damages by using a quality men's anti-aging face care product that combines essential and natural ingredients with the scientific innovation and technology.

Finally, we can talk about protectors and especially quality men's anti-aging face care protectors, that seal in moisture and fights against premature aging just like the other ones. Your face will look nice and fresh, but most of all will feel better and healthier. The collagen and elasticity of your skin will be properly maintained, while the damaging free radicals and grime will be removed from your pores. A quality protector doesn't contain chemicals, but only natural ingredients such as essential oils and nutrients that help keep in moisture.

Ready for Date Night
The date is mostly like a job interview and the same criteria applies here, too. You need to look good, confident about yourself and to be able to establish a good communication with your partner. If you're coming from work, take a nap or sip a coffee and try to relax the best way you can, so you can preserve your energies for later. If you're joyful and in a good mood, so will your partner be.

If you want to be a total gentleman, offer to come pick her up. If she doesn't want to, given the fact that it's your first date, comply with her terms. Be at the restaurant on time and bring something like season flowers or a small box of chocolates. Every woman appreciates a romantic gift like this. Don't smoke before you get there, because you'll stink like hell and you'll get disqualified in seconds.

Go with the compliments first. Of course, you have to tell her something nice about her dress or her shoes, but keep the comments decent and neutral. You haven't established a level of trust yet and you need to be careful about what you say and do. Put aside specific parts of her body and focus on the face while talking to her. She knows anyway you're going to check her out, but do it in such manner that she doesn't catch you red-handed. Act normally and keep things decent.

At the restaurant
Go ahead and suggest items on the menu, if she has no idea what to order and asks for your opinion. Suggest something but don't order for her, is she hasn't accepted yet. Don't force her into doing something she doesn't like, she'll hate you for wanting to be in control.
Don't start checking the other skirts in the restaurant, you'll offend her deeply with this kind of behavior. She has to be the main focus, at least for tonight when she's in front of you. Leave aside your phone and other gadgets that might disrupt your attention from talking to her and looking into her eyes. You can check you emails , if you cannot hold it no more, while she is at the ladies room.

A challenging situation might be to start a casual conversation and to find nice topics to talk about. If you know you'll have a hard time with this, do some research at home about the latest movies or art exhibitions and hope that she will pick it up from there.

If she wants to know about your past dating experiences, don't panic and talk openly about your ex-girlfriends, saving the spicy details, of course, and leaving aside your resentments and spite, if things ended badly. Don't get too emotional, stick to the point and then move on to a more interesting topic of conversation.

Speaking of emotions, make sure to keep them at bay on your first date night. Don't start talking non-sense about your ex-girlfriends, your depressive childhood or your emotionally-unavailable parents. These are topics to discuss with a close person, one that understands you and has enough tolerance to agree with your points of view. First impressions should not include this type of info and the atmosphere should be optimistic and joyful.

Don't freak out if you experience at some point some awkward pauses in the conversation.
Things move up slowly in the beginning because each of you looks for his words carefully and this might not render fructuous dialogs. When referring to your work and professional experience, don't lie, but try to look passionate about what you do and interested in advancing even more and accruing more knowledge and experience. Try to make subtle allusions to what money you make, but subtle I say. Don't go over the arrogant side, she wants to see confidence, not perkiness.

During dinner, ask her questions about herself, about her past and future plans and look straight into her eyes as she answers. Don't ask her simple things, so that she can answer with yes and no, think of questions that need elaborate answers. Try to talk about her passions, where does she like to spend her holidays and what are her musical preferences. Don't talk too much about yourself and give her time to express her opinions too. Don't interrupt her and listen carefully to what she has to say.

And also, don't exaggerate with the alcohol. Sip your wine if you want to still be able to drive her home, at the end of the evening.

Body Language- Essential on a First Date
How is she acting near you? Does she like physical contact? is she laughing at all your jokes and she kind of reaches for your hand when she does so? If you can see she looks for excuses to touch you, then you are in luck. She's telling you that she's interested in you and she wants to get to know you better. On the other hand, if she plays with her flatware or looks far away into the distance, then you can kiss that kiss goodbye.

She will probably leave the table at least once to go refresh her make-up in the ladies room, but if she does this once every 30 minutes then she's really not that into you, so you'd better think of someone to call and make plans for later.

A date is a meeting of ideas and feelings and the partners must feel relaxed and casual about their encounter. You are not supposed to strive to bring the conversation to a neutral level or to keep her entertained all night long- is she plays hard to get for a long time, maybe you can think of better ways to waste your energy on.

If some accident happen during the night, don't start yelling at the waiter for spilling the wine or for bringing cold and overcooked steaks. Try to solve the problem in a decent and respectful way or if nothing else can be done about it, try to laugh it off and make fun of the situation. The last thing your date wants is to be embarrassed in front of the whole restaurant by your violent and uncontrolled reactions. Likewise, on the way home, if you're driving, try to keep your calm even if some jerk just cut you off. Women like patient and self-controlled men a lot.

Don't forget to get the bill even if things didn't work out- you're supposed to be a gentleman all the way. If you're taking your partner home, use some mints or gum for to wear off that coffee and alcohol aftertaste. You want the first kiss to be perfect, so don't ruin things from the beginning.

Saying Your Goodbyes
If you liked spending time with her, tell this straightforward and without hesitation. Honesty is a very precious asset and she will admire you for the courage. Exchange numbers and call her in a day or two, if you are supposed to make the first call. It is ok to call her, as long as you don't overreact and leave her insistent messages and voicemails by the next morning.
Women appreciate the fact that you don't forget to call them a day or two after the date. She's not going to start making wedding plans as soon as you make the first call. But you need to point out exactly the reason for you calling her. It's good to state things clearly and avoid leaving space for further interpretations. Tell her again about the blast you have and that you want to repeat that experience. Now don't get too pushy and insistent and keep your status until you get to know each other and learn more about the other's preferences. Meet her again on a second date and pick things from there.

But how about that first kiss? If you want to know more about the first kiss strategies and tips, check out my next article on Kiss or Hug- The Best Way to Go. Usually, you don't have to expect a kiss at the end of a night that went reasonably well. As long as she's in her comfort zone, it's ok to make this step. Don't make promises or other commitments, stick to the point and give close attention to her body language- you'll find out everything you need this way. You must act as a gentleman all the way, watch your manners and consider her feelings and preferences too.

Now that you have all this information, it's time to go on that first date and rock her world.
