How to Approach Prospective Dates Properly

I know, we are probably taking a step back here discussing this topic. But this is to be fair for those who are still on the lookout for their special someone. Come one, we've all been there. We've become intimidated by other people whom we like that made it very hard for us to talk to them, much less approach them properly. So these are just some tips that you guys should know so you can come up to that pretty lady or hunk guy with all the confidence you'll need to ask them out for a date.


Recognize when they're receptive or not
It's very important to know the signs of whether other people will entertain you once you approach them. Knowing when they are open and ready to engage in some social activities is fundamental so you don't need to waste time for people who won't even let you speak. If they are looking at you and are making eye contact, this is your chance to make your move and introduce yourself.

Keep your fear to yourself
Though being shy around other people may be cute for some, this is certainly not true when you wanna have some good time with them. So you better know your fears and keep it at a minimum when you're out for the night. Confidence is the key so throw away your shyness and be bold when approaching that man/woman you are starting to like.

Avoid hesitation moves
Just like in basketball, you should just always aim for your goal. If you think that you are going to score, just go for it. No time for hesitation because you might just miss your chance in landing a date with that pretty lady or cute guy at the bar.

Keep your cool

No one is perfect. It's a cliche, true. But there is definitely some meaning in it. So if ever you make a boo-boo while talking to that person you wanna go out with, don't panic. Just continue with what you are saying or doing and just forget about the mistake. Remember, you will not get your chance if you lose your cool. You'll just end up screwing yourself over because you kept on thinking that you are already out of the game.

Never seek their approval
Though it may seem nice to have them agree on everything you're saying and doing, this is not a requirement. If they think you're wrong, so what? Just continue and never lose your confidence. People tend to challenge people who are trying to approach them. So don't break and just show them you are one tough person.

Try different attitudes for your approaches
Be creative. Be witty. Be confident, Be casual. Be serious. Be funny. Just don't stick to one style so you can gauge whether one is more effective than the others. This way, you'll also know which suits best for different people.

So there you go! Again, let me remind you that these are not clear standards that you can use to guarantee you a date. These are just mere suggestions that can help you make your dating life easier. The best way to approach dating is still by being yourself and doing everything you think is right.
