Going On A Date Tonight...

[xAsh]

Remember when i posted a thread a few weeks back regarding this girl i like at work, and i got some tips on how to get her to go out etc, it worked, So thanks. Well,...

tonight i am going to the cinema with her. First time out with her. I haven't been out with a girl for ages and im pretty nervous tbh, i still am lost for words around her sometimes. I lack in confidence with girls, im pretty much the kind of guy who goes for a drink or two with a mate or two and plays a bit of snooker.

Have you guys got any tips? I mean, tips that make me seem more confident. Ive found a few online such as tilting your head back when you laugh, talk and walk at a good pace etc etc. But my real problem is, when im LOST FOR WORDS. What do i do, when im in that sticky situation when i cannot think of anythingggggggg to say at all.

I will open doors and the like and be polite, but she'll be paying, that im certain of ;) (haha) j/k.

Any tips for tonight? We're not all extremely charming and confident like some of you fellow guys :D.

Thanks a lot guys.

If you get to an awkward silence, comment on it. Say you're sorry, you can't think of anything to say. I don't like generalising, but most women really appreciate honesty in a man.

Ash, I am sure you will be fine,just try to relax, you will be surprised at how quickly the time will go, show an interest in her, ask her, what her ambitions are , what countries she would like to visit, hobbies etc what music she likes and what films, just don't ask them all at once, lol, but most of all relax, it will all be ok, be yourself, don't even attempt to put on an act, people see through that, you sound like a nice bloke, so be just that, a nice bloke, hope it goes well, good luck, not that you need it, Ray

Ash if you run out of things to say just stick your tongue down her throat....it always works for me.

ok thanks guys and girls :).

I think i'll be myself. Just be polite, pay for the movie tickets, food, drink, taxi and other stuff.

If she didn't like me then i guess she'd not be going to the cinema with me hey.

Ill open doors etc for her too but dont want to be seen as too cheesy.

I am new to this website and came across ur thread by chance. xAsh it's cool mate, just be yourself, trust me a girl can't always feel what you may think she's feeling! what i'm saying is that if you think you can't find words and ur stuck! then she doesn't really know it's actually happening. or u could be a type that likes to be funny about urself and just tell her what u really feeling. Hope ur date went well

dont treat her like an idiot ..... read the news paper today and talk about something topical .. nothing too heavy ... make her laugh talk about things that you now about .. enjoy your self ...

Here it is, confidence can come from many different places. If you are not the type of guy who can naturally attract women, think about this, do people feel important and improved around you? If so, you’re almost there. If not, then you need find your purpose in life and make it your #1 goal.

Invite her over to your place and cook dinner for her! If you can cook for her, in front of her, it communicates that you can take care of her which is a huge plus in a woman’s mind.

But what to cook, healthy foods are plus plus points and NOT mac ‘n’ cheese from the box! Fish En Papillote! (pronounced uhn pap-ee-yoht) a simple french cooking technique that is possibly the easiest thing in the word to cook, even easier to clean up and sure to impress.

Here’s what you need:

Parchment Paper (available at any grocery store)
2 (two) 6 - 8 ounce pieces of white fish (flounder, cod, tilapia etc...)
1 zucchini sliced
1 small tomato sliced
1 clove of garlic minced (cut really small)
a small handful of spinach
butter
salt and pepper
Optional - 1/2 cup of white wine

Directions
1) pre heat your oven to 375 degree F

2) roll out enough parchment paper so that when you lay the piece of fish in the middle, there is at least 3 inches of open paper in every direction. Now double the length because you’re going to fold it over to create a pouch

2) take the fish off the paper and season each one with a good pinch of salt and pepper

3) place half of the handful of spinach inside one of the halves of parchment paper

4) lay enough slices of the zucchini down on top of the spinach so that the fish can rest on it.

5) lay the fish on top of the zucchini

6) sprinkle some of the minced garlic on each piece of fish

7) rest 1 or 2 small pats of butter on top of the piece of fish

8) lay 2-3 tomato slices on top

9) Fold the parchment paper around the edges tightly in 1/4-inch folds to create a half moon shape. Make sure to press as you crimp down and fold. The packet needs to be sealed well so the steam doesn’t escape

10) if you want, before making the last few folds pour ¼ cup of wine in each pouch.

11) place the pouches on a baking sheet and put in the oven, center rack for 12 minutes depending on how thick the cuts of fish are.

12) take pouches out of the oven, the tops of the pouches should be a brownish color

13) put each pouch on a plate and cut open the top and boom goes the dynamite! (yeah I went there) You now have a full meal with next to no clean up!

a few suggestions - First off, clean up your place before she comes over (especially the bathroom!). Second, serve with a chilled white wine. Third, make sure you have some art, photos, books etc... that show who you are and your interests. This will give you things to talk about. Fourth, if you like this recipe and you’d like to know more, I run a website that is dedicated to teaching single guys how to become more evolved men and make meeting, attracting and keeping women much easier. And yes, cooking is a huge part of it.

Hope this helps!
