A Man's Guide to the Perfect Date

Karl Withakay
You've gotten through the hard part. You mustered up the courage to ask her out. She said YES! Good for you! It's not where you take her on this date that will have the biggest effect on her, but what you DO on this date. Here are some tips.

Ask Her Where SHE Wants To Go

Ask her where she wants to go And even if she wants to go watch some sappy chick flick, give her what she wants. If she wants to go out for Chinese food and you don't really care for Chinese food, give her what she wants and eat a light meal.

Be A Gentleman

Not enough guys are a gentleman these days. I know that you're thinking, "I open the door for my dates". That's fine but that doesn't make you that much different from the last ten guys she has dated. You want to stand out and shine above the rest of those guys. Go ahead and open the door for her when she goes into the building but step it up a bit. Open the CAR door for her as well. Do this when she enters and exits the car. I'm not done. Help her on and off with her coat and hang it up for her. As you sit down to dinner, pull the chair out for her, allow her to step up the table, and replace the chair behind her allowing her to sit down. During dinner, chew with your mouth closed, and keep your elbows off the table. If she's not chewing with her mouth closed and has her elbows on the table, don't stop doing what you're doing. Give her time, perhaps she'll follow your example. If you do this on that date and do this on every date, she may not do it in front of you but she'll be bragging about you to her girlfriends.

Make Sure Your Auto Is Clean

If you do a lot of driving, the chances are good that you do a lot of eating in your car too. Unless you litter, you likely have a lot of trash in your auto. Soda bottles, empty potato chip bags, candy bar rappers, fast food containers, etc. Can you even SEE the floor boards of your car or truck? If you're date is going to be getting into your auto, clean your car inside and out. Give it a good wax if it's worth waxing, vacuum the inside, buy some spray deodorizer to spray on your floor and seats, armerall your dashboard and console. If you don't have the time to do all of that, spend a bit of money and take your auto to a detail shop.

If you do all these things, it is very likely and probable that she will be willing to go out on an additional date or dates with you. Seriously, just try it, you'll see. Ladies talk and talk plenty. You'll be a celebrity with the ladies. Trust me on this. Good luck.
