4 Steps That Ensure a Great First Date.(Brief Article)
Set the stage for an amazing night with this ice-breaking advice from Josey Vogels, author of Dating (Adams Media, 1999).
1 Smile. Sounds obvious, but when you're supernervous, it's easy to forget this ultranecessary step. A great grin shows him you're open, friendly, and glad to be there.
2 Suggest taking a seat. Whether you're at a bar or a party, sifting down will make the meet-and-greet moment less physically awkward--and the vibe more intimate.
3 Create contact. To emphasize a point you're making, or while you're laughing at something he says, lightly rest your hand on his arm or shoulder. This type of touch is innocent but definitely a little flirtatious.
4 Start with small talk. Don't head straight into a hard-core conversation about your family woes, job stress, or past relationships. At first, make sure to limit your chat to breezy topics--your mutual friends, the latest sports scores, the movie you just saw--until you've both loosened up.
