First Date Advice: Self-Esteem

In today’s article, I will discuss how self-esteem matters to men and women on first dates.

The truth is that what builds it differs between the genders in some parts, but some advice works for men and women alike.

The truth is that self-esteem is a key element in the attraction formula for both men and women.

These three things are similar and work for both men and women:

1. Look the person you are dating in the eyes when you talk to him or her.
2. Display your best behaviour during the entire date
3. Think before you answer a question. If you don’t know what to ask, you can read my article and get 45 great questions for the first date.

Before I give you some specifics, though, I think I will answer the question of what self-esteem really is.

If you want to know that, continue to read the full article below…

What Is Self-Esteem?

Self-Esteem is something you need to improve daily and can be described as a person’s confidence in their own abilities and self-respect.

What makes a person’s self-esteem become low varies between individuals, but rejection or fear of rejection lowers one’s self-esteem and confidence when it comes to dating.  To boost your confidence, you need to do certain things to improve it.

Some of the most important aspects are: respect yourself, feeling good about yourself, having a positive attitude.

1. Respect yourself (don’t compromise on your values and don’t do things you would normally not do)
2. Feeling good about yourself (making sure you wear the best clothes, smell your best and look your best)
3. Having a positive mindset (focus on the positive things rather than the negative things)
4. Talk firmly and calm (so you will not misrepresent yourself and give the person you are dating the wrong expression)
5. Listen and engage in the conversation (by doing this you show interest in your date’s life)

The 5 examples I have given you above can be used by men and women alike. [Tweet “5 Simple Things That Boosts Self-Esteem for Both Men and Women. #DatingAdvice #DatingTips”]

If you want some gender-specific tips, I recommend that you read my article 5 steps to boost your confidence if you are a man or a confident woman who is written for women exclusively.

Men could also read the article No Confidence with Girls to get tips to overcome their fear of rejection.

Women can learn about it by reading the article I refer to above.

First Date Tips for Women

Certain rules only apply to women in dating, and together with all the other tips on dating that I offer you, you will become well informed and learn a lot about what to do, when to do it, and how to do it.

Just remember that these articles do not cover everything that may occur on first dates. Walk upright and look him in his eyes and introduce yourself. Your body language should be confident. Make sure your shoulders are down when you walk, too, since it gives him an impression that you are not just confident but feel good about yourself and what you are wearing.

Also, make sure that you listen to what he says and ask him questions too. Don’t just allow him to ask you everything. Dating is about getting to know one another and communicate, both with your body language as well as your spoken language.
