Vancouver Singles & Dating

Your first date with a girl you really like can be nerve-racking. Mustering enough courage to come up to her and ask her out (which wouldn’t take you more than five minutes, really) is hard enough. But what if you have a whole night to converse? How do you foolproof your first date?

Improving your communication skills can help in making your date night something both of you will enjoy. Learn how to talk and listen. Watch out for body language as well. Body signals can tell you as much about a person as verbal conversation. Sometimes, a girl would want to make that connection with you right on the first meeting, but this is more of the exception than the rule. You can, however, make conversation so relaxing and enjoyable that it can almost pass for that magical rapport.

Also, as a rule, maintain eye contact when talking to her. When you keep on looking at other people while she’s talking, you’ll give her the impression that you are distracted, inattentive, or worse, bored. So never ever ogle at other women during your date. Remember that the objective of the night is to get to know her more, so focus your attention on her–and her alone.

The kind of questions you ask can sometimes make or break your date night. Ask questions that will make her give lengthy answers as opposed to just a ‘yes’ or ‘no.’ Questions like ‘What do you do at work?’ or ‘How often do you come here?’ will get your interaction off to a good start. Listen as good as you talk, for good conversation skills involve listening as well as talking.

When choosing topics to talk about, settle for universal topics like music or movies. Everyone has a say on these things. Ask her what she’s currently listening to, or which movie is her favorite. Who knows? You might be interested in the same things?

Like in any getting-to-know-you conversation, talking about hobbies is often the most important and the most enjoyable part in a date. Try asking her what she usually does during her spare time. Be it on travel, photography or cooking, you’ll almost always discover a common interest with her.

Pets are also a topic most people want to talk about. If she owns one, ask her about it. Pet owners often get excited and animated when talking about their beloved pets. You can always ask her why if she tells you she doesn’t have one.

If you talk more about stuff that you both like, you’ll have a more relaxed and comfortable time with each other. Not only will you be less nervous, you’ll also have a greater chance of an enjoyable date night and, maybe, even a second date.
