Do you know that there is a first date etiquette for women?

If you did know it, then you obviously don’t need to get the insights that I will share in this article with you since you already know everything there is to know about this topic.

However, if you don’t know anything or very little about the first date etiquette for women, you are on the right spot.

Since I am a man myself, I asked my female friends and girlfriend whether there was a first date etiquette for women or if this was just a myth, and everyone confirmed that there is such a thing.

So, without further ado, let’s dive in and get into all the details about the first date etiquette for women.

First Date Tips for Women: First Date Etiquette

The word etiquette comes from the French word Étiquette and literally means prescribed behavior.

So why does this matter to you?

Since it means that a first date etiquette is the prescribed behavior of a first date, it should matter.

This is exactly what I will cover now.

First and foremost, you need to make a stunning first impression on your date, and let me inform you that he will appreciate it, although he will never tell you upfront.

If you want some tips on how you can dress to impress, here they are.

As you probably know, it only takes a fraction of a second for you to make a first impression on him.

First impressions are often influenced by:

• The image he has of you in his head that you have created by talking to him over the phone or by texting him before the date
• How you dress and how you behave. Some men want a woman that is more feminine, just a thing you need to be aware of.
• How you look.

The last thing on the list above is something that I know women put a lot of effort in to look the best to make them realize how beautiful they are.

I understand that it gives you a confidence boost and if it does, do it.

Because the thing is that when you feel good about yourself, he will notice it, and you will have the ability to shine, and he might even compliment you.

Since I am a man myself, you get this from the actual source.

Although I know that we men aren’t good with compliments, he might give you one or two if you have done your makeup properly.

Since I am obviously not a makeup expert, I encourage you to watch this first date makeup tips video that I found on YouTube by a real makeup expert instead.

She covers a lot of details, and for this reason, I advise you to watch it.

The next thing that you need to think through is, of course, what you should wear to make an intriguing impression on your date.

I cover this in some detail in my article What to wear on a first date.

Now that you have the outside fixed let’s focus on the inner workings, like your behavior.

The truth is that he will judge you just as much from your behavior as to how you look, and if the two don’t add up together, he will not go out with you on a second date.

For this reason, your behavior really matters. To get a relationship and potentially marry this guy, you need the most important piece of the dating puzzle, which I will share with you now.

First Date Etiquette for Ladies

So what exactly are the first date etiquette for ladies?

As I told you above, it is based on your behavior.

One of the most important first date etiquettes is to be in time for your first date.

I know that it is different in many cultures, but for most men, not having to wait for you to show up is a sign of respect and will tell them that you are not playing with him.

Being on time is crucial, especially if:

• Your first date is at a well-known restaurant that has a waiting list that is a couple of months long, just to get a table. Then you don’t want anyone to wait for you, right?
• You want to have a relationship with him. It might be charming first but he will grow sick and tired of always having to wait for you eventually and this can be a deal-breaker.
• You are going on a trip, you need to show up in time too.

My best advice is if you are late due to a traffic jam or anything else that is out of your control, take a few seconds and reach out to your date.

You can either text or call him and be upfront with why you won’t make it on time.

Even an instant message or a direct message will work.

This will build trust between the two of you immediately.

Trust is one of the most important aspects of a relationship, so if you are honest with him initially, it will build trust with him.

First Date Tips for Women: White Lies Works

I know that I have encouraged you to be honest with him.

What I am about to share with you right now might sound contradictory to what I just shared with you, but this is something significant I needed to put in print:

White lies work tremendously well.

I think it is ethical to lie to another human being to use these things we call white lies.

White lies are those little lies we make to avoid fighting or hurting another human’s emotions, and you might use them to boost your date’s confidence to avoid creating any friction between the two of you right away.

Here are 5 white lies that you can use:

1. You are so smart.
2. You look very attractive today.
3. I don’t mind that you are bold. (If this is an issue for you.)
4. I don’t mind that you come straight from work and haven’t had any time to change.
5. I didn’t know this. (Something you already knew)

The list could be even longer, and I will write a complete list for you shortly.

To build trust, all you really need to do is to deliver on your promise.
