You'll be the most incredible man she's ever met!!!

Okay. So here you are. You’ve posted a winning personal ad, top-notch photos and have talked to a number of women online.

Now it’s time for the date.

I have to tell you – there’s nothing worse than sealing the deal online, but screwing it up with a bad first date.

In fact, I’ve had a number of Weekly Score members e-mail me about this very topic.

So today, let me share with your 5 failsafe dates that work every time!

Now before we get started, it’s important to understand that this is a first date.

That means asking her to take a day trip somewhere three hours away or inviting her to your bedroom five minutes after you meet her is a horrible idea.

Patience, my friend. Patience.

A first date should allow you the opportunity to provide a place where you and your date can get to know each other, while at the same time, allowing her to feel safe and comfortable.

One thing is for sure. You’re getting nowhere if she doesn’t feel comfortable.

Dinner – the old standby

Some people may just write this one off as boring. But if you do it right, it doesn’t have to be.

The great thing about dinner is it gives you an opportunity to talk. And that’s really the only way you’re going to get anywhere. You can’t ask her questions about herself while watching a movie or going to a concert.

Of course, if you go to the wrong restaurant, dinner can definitely backfire too. Leave the Olive Garden and Chili’s for high-school students and families!

What will really impress her is if you take her somewhere unique.

Restaurants that serve ‘authentic’ cuisine can do the trick.

For example, when I used to live in New York, there was an Italian restaurant called, “Piscicelli’s.” It was a little, family-owned restaurant run by a husband and wife from Bologna, Italy.

All the food was completely authentic. The place was decorated with black & white 8x10s of their hometown in Bologna. And most important, I had been there often enough that they knew me by my first name.

The restaurant was also quite small and charming. When I used to take dates there, I’d never have to worry about a huge crowd.

This is the kind of place you want to take your date.

If you don’t already know a place like this – find one.

Go there a few times. Get to know the food. Get to know the owners and staff. And by all means, when it’s time to take your date there – make sure you’ve reserved ‘your’ table.

Even if this means going to the restaurant ahead of time and talking to the staff.

Let them know that you’re bringing in a date, and you’d like to impress her. Ask them to greet you by your first name when you enter the restaurant and have them take you to ‘your’ table.

She’ll eat this stuff up!

During the dinner, keep the conversation alive by asking her questions. Be inquisitive, but not creepy.

Ask her about her family, her job, her childhood. Save the sexual talk for another time – when you know her better.

After dinner, suggest taking a walk nearby. Long walks after a great conversation and dinner is quite romantic.

When the date is over, don’t push it!

Unless she drags you into her home, keep it simple.

Tell her you had a great time. Or better yet, here’s one I used to use:

“Did you have a good time tonight? Me too. Honestly, this is probably one of the best dates I think I’ve ever had.” (Smile while you say this. Otherwise it’ll look too serious and intruding)

Then finish it off with a quick peck (no heavy making out) and tell her you’ll call her later.

And make sure to call!

There’s no need for those games where you wait a week until you call her back. That’s high school stuff.

If you tell her you’re going to call her the next day – do it.

It doesn’t have to be some heavy, 3-hour phone call. Make it short and sweet.

She’ll appreciate the thought – and you’ll be well on your way to a second date.

Join me next week when I’ll reveal the second best date to make you look like the most incredible man she’s ever met!

Until then,

Happy Scoring!
