Positive signs on a date

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

If your date is using a lot of the following signals, you can take it as a good
sign that he or she is interested and having a good time.

Congratulations your dating was successful!
 Good eye contact: Gazing (not staring) into someone’s eyes is a good sign.
 Leaning forward: Making the space between you two smaller and cozier
signals that interest is on the way up and walls are on the way down.
 Relaxed posture: Sitting or standing comfortably and breathing
smoothly indicates that your date is open and non-defensive.
 Palms up: Open hands indicate a warm and receptive heart.
 Touching: If the touching is warm rather than suggestive, you’re making
contact.
 Nodding: If your date nods periodically as you speak, you’re on the
same wavelength.
 Mirroring: Unconsciously reflecting each other’s behavior — leaning
forward at the same time, breathing in sync, crossing the same leg over
the other at the same time, speaking in the same tone — says that you’re
attuned to one another.
 Synchronization: Simultaneous breathing, blinking, and shifting in your
seat means you’re in sync.

Bearing other factors in mind before dating

 Allergies: Many people are sensitive to a whole lot of allergens; it’s no
longer just the cat or dog. One biggie: perfumes and colognes. To some,
wearing a strong scent in a public setting is tantamount to lighting a
giant stogie in a doctor’s waiting room. Play it safe by either going au
naturel or, before you get dressed, spritz your scent into the air and walk
into it instead of squirting perfume or cologne directly on your skin.
 Sore spots: Although you can’t avoid offending all of the people all of the
time, you can avoid stepping on potential toes by considering what your
date may think about fur, cleavage, big hair, smoking, drinking, drugs,
and photographs of Mother pinned to your lapel. Because you don’t
know each other at this point, pretend that you’re dressing for a job
interview or a meeting with a bank to consider a loan. You can make
political statements on date three.

Dating someone you met at online dating site is never going to be easy.

Did I pay attention to detail?

Shine your shoes. Press your collar. Check for errant threads. Rub the lipstick
off your teeth. Tuck in the tag. Clean under your fingernails. Sniff for excessive
aftershave or perfume. Unstuff your purse. Freshen your breath. Match
your socks. Check out the rearview in a full-length mirror (don’t forget the
back of your hairdo). In short, pretend you’re going to Sunday school and
grandma’s watching and not as if you are going to meet some guy you met at

free online dating site.
 Department store dressing rooms are notoriously overlit. If you look
good in there, you’ll look good anywhere.
 Bathroom mirrors are typically underlit for bright, daylight makeup. If
you can, apply daylight makeup close to a window flooded with natural
light. If you can’t, recheck your makeup once you get outside and blend
in any areas that look a little thick.
 Unless you’re covering surgical scars or other major skin care challenges,
you should always be able to see your skin through your makeup.
