So, let’s find out why sometimes the most beneficial skills or qualities on a date aren’t alwaysthesexiest:
1. Showing personal interest tells how interested you are. Remember you are with someone, not yourself, so avoid talking about yourself throughout. Take a personal interest in the other person,askquestions,andlistenwithinterest.
● We deem people who make everything about themselves arrogant and boring. Everyone loves to feel needed and important, so putting in the effort to show your date that they areinhighregardandvaluedmaysecureyouaseconddate.
2. Beingyourselfisbeautiful. Faking your identityis the last thing you want to do on a date. Faking to impress is a wrong move many people make. Who doesn’t love someone who is not afraid to be themselvesunapologetically?

● Make the other person on the date feel comfortable to be themselvesaswell!
3. Having fun creates a relaxed environment. Going on a date is to get to know each other and have fun. Don’t unnecessarily pressure yourself to be perfect or have a perfect date. Go to enjoy the day andmakethebestoutofit.
● Avoid focusing on rushing into a relationship. A first date isn’t to decide if you want to marry this person, but hopefully go on anotherdate.
4. Sincere compliments show attentiveness, not flatter. Both gentlemen and ladies appreciate a genuine compliment, not mere flattery, to gain their attention. Givecomplimentswhenrelevantor needed, not unnecessary flattery that will make the other feel uncomfortableandcringe.
● A simple “you look great” or “beautiful” or “handsome” is fine. Still, you might want to compliment something other than their physical appearance, like or their great taste in music, intelligence,orlaughter.
