When you meet your date for the first time, you want to be prepared for that initial contact. This is why how to greet someone on a first date is key for your dating life.
Not overly prepared, don't overthink it. However, you should have some basics in mind to make the best first impression possible and make things go smoothly for the rest of the date.
This is because the way you present yourself and the way you communicate in those first few seconds is going to set the tone for the rest of the date.
That doesn't mean you can't recover if things don't go well in that initial contact, but you'll do a lot better if you can nail that initial contact. Let's get into it.
Keep these points in mind so you can make a connection right off the bat.
I'll give you the quick list now, then I'll break everything down into how it works in the real world:
When you arrive and she's waiting for you at the cafe or the bar or in the street corner, make sure you use a strong voice.
As soon as you say something, you should be speaking to be heard.
Project your voice, take a deep breath and speak from your diaphragm, basically low in the chest, don't be speaking from up in your throat.
Also, make direct eye contact. Eye contact is going to be your number one tool for creating attraction on your date, so make sure you do that right off the start when you greet her.
Of course, smile. Smiles are disarming, and they could also be very charming.
Stand tall. Don't have your hands in your pockets, don't have your neck craning forward.
Don't be looking at the ground, keep your shoulders back and your chest puffed out naturally. You don't have to exaggerate that at all.
This will allow you to fully utilize your height, regardless of how tall or short you are. It will also make you look a lot more confident, like a man.
All of these things combined overall will make you look a lot more confident, and that's very attractive to women. The rest is up to you.
