1. Immediately break the touch barrier: a hug is so simple yet so effective. However, many men do it incorrectly. Most guys do that weird half-hug, where they kind of pull the girl into the right side of their body, and put the right arm over the girl's shoulder. Don't do this, ESPECIALLY if you're like 6'0 or above. If you're a shorter dude, then this is perfect for you since you have no choice anyway. Hug with both arms, hug tight and warm, arms touching the waist slightly, no longer than a few seconds though. There - in just one move you came across confident and daring, in a good way.

  2. Let the girl choose the day, you choose everything else: as a man, you need to be a leader. Women love a man who knows what he's doing, or at least looks like it. Compromise is key, so let the girl pick the day, but you have to do the rest. You choose the time, the spot to meet, the place you're going, and the possible second location/bar afterwards. On a subconscious level, you'll be more relaxed and comfortable, since you're likely taking her to a bar you know well and are used to. On a side note, going to a couple different locations is a great idea, because the girl will often feel this rush of positive unpredictability. You don't know what y'all will do, but she likes it.

  3. Ask many questions, but make them thought provoking: the rule of thumb is 70 percent of the date should be the girl speaking, while the other 30 is your time to shine (which we'll get into later). However, your questions must not be boring and plan in structure, because then the date turns into a boring interview. Instead of asking "so why did you choose X profession?", ask "a doctor huh? Were you always altruistic?" Your questions basically need to be layered in a way where she cannot give a boring one word/sentence answer, allowing you to respond to her response, in turn allowing her to respond to your response of her response, and so on.

  4. Keep the air of mystery about yourself: let me use a personal example for this one. I am a virologist, and I recently went out with a girl who is a massive gamer. When she asked me what my job was, I said "basically Albert Wesker, not as evil though... allegedly." She loved the response, and immediately picked up on it, even though my answer was vague enough. Out of my answer though we went to gaming talk after finishing discussing work. Now, that answer would only work on a specific type of woman, but you get the idea. That's what you need to do; the same way your questions need to be layered, your answers must follow the same pattern. Don't try to be needlessly and creepily secretive, but do reveal about 65-75 percent of the story. The key is - that 25 percent should be either the really fun things about yourself, or the really boring ones, depending on the girl.

  5. Don't be afraid of sexually teasing: there's two extremes - being a boy scout who never says anything even remotely sexually provocative, or being a OnlyFans subscriber who only asks and says dumb shit. Again, we come to the layering part; the same way your questions and answers must be capricious yet witty, so should your Don Juan-esque moments. Don't say "I bet I can leave some good marks on them tits." Instead, say something like "I can use my hands effectively in about 12 different ways, all in due time though." The goal should be to paint the IDEA of a picture in the girl's head, not the entire picture itself. You need to make her visualize things that COULD happen, not that will happen. You never say to her what you will do, you say what you might do. That's teasing.

  6. No chaser! if she doesn't like you for who you are, never pursue it further. I don't give a fuck how hot she is or whatever else - never devalue yourself for someone else. In the context of the first date, this means that if a woman truly disrespects you, don't move past it. Playful comments are one thing, but attacking a man's character is another. Now, there are some levels to these scenarios as well. If you happen to just look for sex, then you can look past the ignorance and idiocy just to get laid, then harshly end things. Women of that nature are usually extremely fragile, so if she suggests another "meet-up", saying no will put her in her place, at least momentarily. However, if you're looking for a relationship, never ignore ignorance or disrespect. That said, girls who genuinely want something authentic usually won't make comments like that anyway, no matter how much they wanna test you, so don't worry about it much.
