Confident On Your First Date

It’s scary when you meet someone for the first time. Most of us want to hold back and survey the other person before us, before we reveal too much of ourselves. This is because many of us fear feeling rejected. And if we put ourselves on the line, our date may reject us. Why not try giving your all? Reveal yourself openly as you have nothing to lose.

If your date doesn’t like you, then you have not lost more than a couple of hours. If you hide behind a mask then it is going to take a long time

for the two of you to get to know one another. It’s also going to be time wasted if you find out later they are not for you, when you could have found this out the first time you met them.

Even though you may be feeling nervous on your first date it’s important you project an air of confidence. Not arrogance, as you don’t want to come across as conceited and full of yourself – but a confident assurance you know who you are and are proud of it. This is something you can practice until it becomes second nature to be confident. Soon it will part of who you are.

Your body language should be confident. Lean forward to show you are interested in your date. Do not slouch back in your chair as you are showing you are cocky and disinterested. Smile sincerely; do not paste a fake one on your face. Look at your date. When your eyes are shifty you come across as un-trustworthy!

If you feel uncomfortable looking them in the eyes, look at their eyebrows. They will think you are looking into their eyes.How you talk should project confidence too. Talk with authority; do not be meek and timid. Do not mumble, speak too loudly or brag about anything. Be friendly and earnest.

Confide in your date as you would a friend, without burdening them with your problems.How you groom and dress yourself should also display confidence. Have the confidence to be who you are and not dress how you think your date wants you to look like. Sure make an effort, as first impressions are important. But do not try and be someone you clearly are not.

How you carry yourself and walk is also another indicator of confidence. Carry yourself proudly; do not hide yourself and hunch into your shoulders. Be relaxed and easy-going in how you move – do not be stiff or awkward. Take a leaf out of a models’ book and practice walking with a book on your head.

This is a good discipline for a great posture. When you reveal yourself openly, give off confident body language, talk, walk and dress with confidence you will definitely project an easy air of confidence. Both men and women are attracted to someone who possesses self confidence.

Work on yours until it comes naturally to you. You will be glad you made the effort!
