Once you find a potential mate for a fling, or short-term dating and perhaps even a long-term union, brace yourself. It is time to practice what we preach in first-date manuals. Take time to understand what it takes to ensure that the first meetup, with sexy locals, turns out successful. Many men presume to know what it takes to have a successful first rendezvous, but little do they know, it takes everything.

Men have little patience for grooming, which sometimes becomes a hindrance to any first rendezvous being successful. Other factors are discussed below, and if sexy Ukrainian brides are on your list, pay attention. There are several tips to ensuring a successful first date, most of which you will not find on social media.

Instincts – Run with them

Before diving into the nitty-gritty of a first meetup, instincts are important. Pay attention to gut feelings even before a rendezvous. If something smells fishy, avoid a first date like the plague. If you feel like wearing beach earrings is a no-no, don’t wear them. Either way, the factors listed below are huge determinants of a successful first date.

Dress Codes

Regardless of the weather and unless you are meeting at the beach, avoid beach shorts. This form of attire shows negligence and a laissez-faire attitude. It could also imply you couldn’t care less what your partner thinks, or how to present yourself. Dress codes are there for ladies too. Wearing stuff that is too revealing can be degrading and lead to a man disrespecting you. It might also insinuate that the night needs to end a certain way when it does not.

Phones

Surprisingly, many people are unaware of how disrespectful it is to use the phone during a date. Any man or woman, who made time to be with you, when they could be elsewhere, deserves your undivided attention.  Spending too much time talking or texting is infuriating. It leaves your partner bored, and ready to head elsewhere. It also signifies the end of any future dates, with sexy Ukrainian babes, or any other ladies.

Grooming

Have grooming standards or forget future rendezvous. It is unattractive to show up to a date smelling of food, or sweaty from playing basketball. No woman or man for that matter tolerates bad odors, regardless of how hot their partner is. If you cannot take time to clean up before the FIRST date, it is impossible to imagine you cleaning up on subsequent dates.

Rudeness

This includes being rude to waiters and total strangers. It is hard to convince a lady or man you met for the first time that going forward your behavior will be different. Also, if the plan is to be together for the long run, what are the odds you will be rude to family members and friends alike? Rudeness is not tolerated at any level in a relationship, so it is no surprise that it will diminish the success of a first meetup.

Rapport

Create rapport with your date through listening, rather than talking. In addition to not using phones, be sure to listen more than you talk. This goes hand-in-hand with rudeness, in that listening is more attractive. If you are a male, you can learn a lot about the lady in a few minutes, especially what she dislikes. Listening helps you avoid future problems too. Aside from the first date being blissful because you didn’t talk about yourself, you will make fewer mistakes in the future.

Bottom Line

The list above is by no means exhaustive, but most things covered will determine how successful the date is. The best form of flattery is honesty, and humor always works. Keep it simple and the mystery that follows will guarantee future meetings.
