How To: Have a Successful Date- special segment for men. (Yearbook Production Class)

Before I begin explaining the process of creating a perfect date I would like to explain something within the title. No date is going to be 100% perfect. However, that does not mean that the way you plan things cannot be 100% perfect in your mind. I thought that I should add this precaution so that in the future I do not get accused of someone’s “perfect date” being flawless. Now moving on to the bigger picture. There is no denying that each person ponders about what events would take place on his or her perfect date. Men, with this said I will now illustrate the steps of wooing that girl, who you will be thinking about while reading this article. [;

STEP 1: Decide who you want to share this special time with. Yes, this does me that you have to choose only one girl from that list of yours. I repeat, ONE. Be wise in the decision you make because you are the one who is going to be spending the money. So for the sake of both of you make your time together worthwhile.

STEP 2: When deciding what events you would like to have take place on this date there is a couple of things you should keep in mind. The first thing is the woman’s likes and dislikes. For example, if a girl does not enjoy watching sports than do not take her to a sporting event. Yes, it would be a fun experience for a guy like yourself but bottom line is you are the one trying to make her happy. Save that those tickets to go with the guys. The second thing that you should keep in mind is the weather. I know its a simple thought but it’s one that is too often not considered. Now that you have taken these two precautions decide what kind of things your woman would enjoy. Ideas to consider: a picnic, a nice dinner followed by a walk on the beach, a trip to Disneyland. These are just a few things that would possibly amaze your lady. However, with this said plan something that will also be fun for you.

STEP 3: Now that you have finally gotten the plans together you are ready for the big day. Well maybe not fully ready but somewhat confident about the date than when you first started planning. First things first. Make sure your personal hygiene is at its best.

STEP 4: Step three is just as important as step four so read carefully. MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON TIME. I cannot stress how important that is. No woman wants an irresponsible man. Men forewarning: your lady may not be ready on time. You may be thinking, “Well then how is it fine for them to be late and not us?” To cut to the chase: that is simply beyond the point.

(Optional) STEP 5: If you bring flowers for your lady you will get extra kudos. This is not something that you have to do but I am just throwing it out there.

STEP 6: Open her car door.

STEP 7: Whatever you have planned to do that night whether it is dinner, movies, bowling, etc., be prepared to pay. There will be times when she will offer to pay (if you get a cool girl that is). You can let her pay every now and then but never ever take advantage of such an act of kindness.

STEP 8: While on your date make sure to not text or answer phone calls unless it is extremely necessary.

STEP 9: Compliment her every now and then. Just make sure not to excessively do so. You want to flatter her not scare her.

STEP 10: It is that time that you dread. The date slowly comes to an end. When dropping her off. (Optional: walk over to her side of the car and open her door. This will get you extra kudos points.) Walk her to her door. Now, you may be thinking: should I kiss her? Honestly, the call is all yours. If you feel like the night went well and she was not giving you awkward vibes then I would say go for it! But if a part of you feels like she was giving you weird vibes then I would say refrain from the kiss.

STEP 11: You can now relax. You accomplished what most men do not feel like that cannot do. Planned a successful date!

STEP 12: Depending on how things went, you have permission to plan another date. Good luck, gentlemen! (;
