First Encounters: How to Pick Up

Use Humor

One of the things that I discuss a lot is the idea of why women feel ATTRACTION for some men while NOT feeling it for others (even though the men that women feel ATTRACTION for might not be good choices for them because they're abusive, etc.)

Being Romantic

Guide Her While you Walk

When you walk together, put your hand on the small of her back, guiding her and letting her know you're there. If you're the girl, put your hand on his arm, walking beside him. It feels very romantic!

Make Eye Contact

When ever you are talking make eye contact. It shows that you are listening and that you care what he/she is saying.

Hold Hands

Holding hands is the most basic form of affection there is. Hold hands with your darling, whether it's while you drive down the road in your car or walk in the mall. Give your love a squeeze to say "I'm here, and I love you."

Give a Back Rub

If there's a single skill that can be incredibly powerful in any relationship, it is the ability to give back, neck and foot massages. These moments not only build up your connection with each other but also help reduce stress and make you both happy.

Wine & Dine: What to do on the First Date

Add That Special Touch

Try adding something special to a meal to perk things up a bit. Put a starfruit on the breakfast plate. Grab a bottle of wine for dinner, or if you normally drink wine, find an exotic offering from a new country. Explore the new item together, and see what you think.

The Casual Candle Lit Dinner

Invite her to a candlelit dinner...with a twist. Set it up with everything she'd expect...tablecloth, candles, fine dinnerware, soft music playing... And serve her favorite food -- even if it's pizza or fried chicken -- and fill the champagne glasses with Pepsi or juice -- whatever her favorite beverage is. Call it candlelit casual. She'll love it.

Progressive Dinner Date

Go on a "progressive dinner" date - have appetizers/pre-dinner drinks at one memorable place, dinner at another, and dessert at still another place. It can be both exciting, if the places of choice hold fond memories for both of you, and adventurous if you choose places you've never tried.

Couple Cooking at Home

Get your partner involved in the cooking, even if it's something as small as cracking the eggs or stirring the noodles, or whatever. The point is to do it together. Don't be afraid to try something new, it shows that you're adventurous, and if it comes out well, really shows off your cooking skills.
