Guys, first time meeting him, any tips?Page 1 of 2    (1, 2)
I'm meeting someone off of this website for the first time, and trut be told I'm really nervous. We're going to a youth group sort of thing. I've chatted to him for hours on the phone, and he seems like a really decent guy. Do you guys have any tips for making me absolutely irresistable? What do you look for in a girl the first time you meet her?

Don't forget to ask about him and his interests. Smile with your heart and eyes as well as your mouth. Don't do anything you wouldn't want to see in a video clip. Have fun. Show him your witty sense of humour and your kind and sensitive heart. You're have the boy wrapped up and begging for more. Don't forget to bring your own mad money, just in case.

now this is gonna be a clever thing eh!!!!!!!

how ever, a good tip is to let your eyes do a lot of talking,......... because a fella looks for eye contact, and body language, that's if he is any good, try and keep your attention on him and not look round for other eye candy, nothing worst than your date scouting the place for some one else......
Good luck ....... and remember be safe

Dress nicely, but not in club clothes if ya' know what I mean (I'm not sure I know what I mean). Smile, look him in the eyes, talk in more than two word sentences. I won't tell you to be interested in him or what he has to say. If you're not interested then a relationship is going to be difficult anyway.

Do whatever you feel you need to in order to boost your self-confidence. If you like yourself odds are better that he's going to like you.

Be yourself
Remember he's just as nervous
He puts his pants on the same way you do! One leg at a time!
You might worry ... will he like me in person? But, you should be wondering if YOU will like him!

Ok, you scared me for a second...your 18 by your profile. Your a girl, aren't you supose to know these things? Well if he reads this post then yes he will find you irresistable. If he's smart you will never know that.

Listen here little lady let me spare you the misery in any of your future endeavors. Don't "make" yourself for anyone. You are very attractive as yourself. Love isn't something that you make happen. Relationships are a lot of effort and work and you shouls choose a man that has patience above all things. So I suggest that when you meet him you show up a little late. If he comes to pick you up make him wait 10 minutes and see how he reacts; if he can't wait with a smile he isn't so great. He still might be a good person but not someone easy to be in a relationship with.

Just to let you know I have waited over an hour before in my car at my dates appartment and this girl stood me up before this. I called a friend while I waited and he was laughing so hard at me becasue I was waiting and that no guy would do that, be stood up the first time and then wait like an idiot in his car. He said that she was probably in her apartment praying that I go away. I told him that I wasn't giving up and in the middle of laughing with him on the phone she finally came out of her apartment and the date was on.

If you're in a youth group, then how can you be on POF? This is an 18+ website. Even so, just be yourself. If you don't, it's going to be odd.

Why not just be transparent? "I'm really nervous."

You might be suprised to hear "Me too." back.

It's amazing how useful simply sharing that sort of experience can be in getting comfortable.

Wait a darned minute here OP!!! Didn't you just yesterday post a topic about a guy taking money from you---one you'd been seeing for a while already? And now you're meeting someone new?

You're already irresistible in that you're plenty cute enough but now I'm wondering how sincere and honest you are or will be with this new guy.

Just let what you think and feel come right through. If something's funny, laugh. If it's not, don't. Don't worry about what he's thinking or what you should say next. That stuff just gets in the way of having a good time.

And remember one thing... "If it works out tonight, great! If not, there's plenty of fish in the sea..."

Good luck, girlie!

^^^^^ same for me when I was 18 and blonde and adorable....dammit!..lol

Look at him when you speak. Make eye contact. Dont talk about exes. Laugh a lot. Touch him, if the mood strikes you. God knows these have worked so well for me.

What do you look for in a girl the first time you meet her?


If I told you, you would be even more nervous.

Well, yes this IS true and like I said before she's pretty much irresistible already----seriously has that cute/hot/adorable thing going on big time! I wasn't bashing her but happened across another of her posts and compared dates and times 0ut of curiosity.

OP just relax and like already said before chances are he'll just as nervous as you----admitting it could be the one thing that allows both of you to relax with one another.

Best of luck---let us know how this one goes!

And BTW:
same for me when I was 18 and blonde and adorable....dammit!..lol


You're STILL pretty damned cute.................................just sayin'...........!!!

A spark. Either its there or not. Nothing you can force. Other than that a good way to keep the good conversation and knowledge of each other going is by asking open ended questions. So whats your opinion on.... < open ended.
Do you like grapes? <close ended no oppertunity for conversation just a flat responce.

On the practical note. Give him your cell never home. Never let him pick you up at yoru house on the first date. Meet someplace public and nutral. That way you will be safe and can have a great time.

I look for someone with the good sense to be herself, enjoy what we're doing together, and not all nervous about how she comes across or what she should do to make herself irresistible. Let it happen and have fun.

Just show up, and don't be nervous - there really is no need to be. If it works, it works. If it doesn't , it doesn't. It's as simple as that.

Be who you really are, and try to stay totally "in the moment". Show up with a mental blank page , and then slowly fill it in as you spend time together. Actually putting 100 percent of your attention on someone can be a wonderful gift to the both of you.

Don't rush to judgment, and don't stick any labels on either of your heads. Don't see him as "the one" , because you will place chains on him by doing that. It's just you, and him, in the moment. It's not the destination, it's the journey.

Don't spend more than two hours together, even if that's the hardest thing to imagine not doing. Walk away wanting more.

Just some thoughts, and go enjoy yourself.
