DR. IVAN YOUNG:
"What is the most important thing to have in order to succeed at a date? (ex. things you say, qualities to have, etc)"
To be successful at dating authenticity is key. More than often people concern themselves with making a good impression, which isn't a bad thing, but it is far more important to think past the moment. Focus on the quality of the interaction. Let's assume this date actually works out, but the person you introduced them too isn't the real you. Then what? Obviously, that will convert your bliss, to a hot mess. Keep it real, you allow your date to like you for you are, as well as what you aren't, as opposed to whom you're pretending to be. Stop trying to be perfect, just be sincere.
Second, listening is a big piece of attracting and keeping someones attention. Men really need to take note here. Women, and men, want to know you're paying attention to them. There is an old saying, "listen twice as much as you talk." Make sure you remember the persons name, repeat back some of what's said to you. Using phrases like, "that's interesting, how did that make you feel, what happened next, "will catalyze the conversation. Also, revealing commonalities is a huge plus. People feel comfortable when the know they share values and interest with you.
Lastly, good hygiene and good manners go a long way. Fresh scent, a new hair cut, good cologne, fresh breath in addition to being well dressed makes a great first impression. Also, being courteous, empathetic, and polite compliment the external presentation. Aside from being physically attracted to a potential mate, both sexes said a pleasing personality is the most significant quality they look for. Nobody wants to be around someone that is unkept, and unpleasant. Don't be pretentious, be authentically the best you possible. Small things like opening doors, saying thank you, and paying a well time compliment works wonders. For more information on positioning yourself for real authentic love to find you visit Dr. D at www.divanyoung.com. His new book Break Up, Don't Break Down will help you move past that mess of a relationship and move you toward finding the love of your life, It also available on his website.
TOM BLAKE:
"What is the most important thing to have in order to succeed at a date? (ex. things you say, qualities to have, etc)"
First, be yourself. If you try to be somebody you're not, you will fail. Don't talk too much about yourself. Make eye contact.
Be a good listener and ask questions of the other person to deflect the conversation away from you. Seem truly interested (even if you're not) but not overly eager. Don't dwell on ex spouses or ex boyfriends or how someone did you dirt. We've all had our bumps and bruises.
Be upbeat and have a positive attitude. Smile often, show a sense of humor.
Dress nicely, but not flashy. Be sure your clothes are clean and pressed.
If you're a guy, have the date planned out and be confident with you plan. At the same time, be considerate of her.
If you're a woman, and he asks, "Where would you like to go?" have an answer prepared.
Both people should be humble. Avoid dropping hints about how rich you are or how you love your Rolls Royce.
Most of all, have fun.
HENNING WIECHERS:
"What is the most important thing to have in order to succeed at a date? (ex. things you say, qualities to have, etc)"
In my opinion, the most important things to have to succeed at a date are self-confidence, a sense of humor and the ability to show interest in the other person.
If you put too much emphasis on the right words to say, you'll seem insecure and doubious. On the other hand, leaning back and hoping the other person will simply "sense" who you are and what makes you special isn't productive either, of course.
One should try to find a good combination of telling his/her date about oneself and showing interest in him/her by asking questions and listening attentively to what he/she is saying.
Taking a date too seriously will make you seem desperate which in most cases signifies the end. It's important to keep in mind that both are just "checking out" - if it works out well, that's great. If not, no one should take it personal but keep looking or rather dating. This will help having a relaxing time and it will be easier to make jokes, laugh and just have fun.
So, I would recommend anyone wanting to go on a date, to start practicing self-confidence, showing real interest in other people and being sometimes funny.
DR. PATTY ANN:
"What is the most important thing to have in order to succeed at a date? (ex. things you say, qualities to have, etc)"
Without hesitation or reservation, the most important thing a person must have to succeed at a date is confidence. Confidence in their belief that they are a worthy, unique person who makes a significant contribution to the world just by being on this planet. When we exude confidence in
ourselves, others will feel this confidence and we will attract confident people to ourselves.
COACH MARCIE:
"What is the most important thing to have in order to succeed at a date? (ex. things you say, qualities to have, etc)"
You need to be strong, have humor and trust your gut. So you're still single and feel powerless. The truth is, you have all the power you need so shut your brain off and... relax.
You should always stay true to yourself and what you're looking for when you're dating. So many times we give our power over to another. This can happen if you allow yourself to settle on issues that are important to you. Deep inside yourself you know when this is happening.
We date or get involved with people who are not ideal for us just so we get a moment of pleasure or don't want to be alone. So we begin to settle on the idea that it's better than nothing.
We all have personal power within us. What makes us feel powerful and what doesn't? There are times when my inner voice is so strong that I cannot avoid doing what's best for me. It's really about doing what is right. To learn more about solving you dating dilemmas purchase my first eBook "Dating Ain't For Sissies, Baby!" on my site www.coachmarcie.com or the Kindle Store on Amazon. www.amazon.com/dp/B005VGEB8K for only 4.99
JANE ATKINSON:
"What is the most important thing to have in order to succeed at a date? (ex. things you say, qualities to have, etc)"
I really believe that showing up "fabulous" is the best way to arrive at a date. When we are the best version of ourselves, we're more apt to attract someone who is perfect for us. Have you ever noticed that when your mojo is off, you attract losers? I can certainly relate to that and kissed many (many) frogs as a result!
Sometimes it means doing a little self work before starting to date. Let's say you're feeling kind of frumpy or out of shape, you really want to get a great haircut or get to the gym for a few weeks. But often, the issues run deeper. Maybe you're highly wounded after a bitter divorce. If that's the case, then get to work reconnecting with yourself first. The more "in love" you are with you, the more ready to date you will be. When we seek someone to rescue us or make us happy, it often ends badly.
Bottom line, get into a happy, fabulous space first, and you'll show up for that date and knock their socks off (or maybe more.... wink wink).
