A woman, if, of course, she is honest with herself, will answer the question “what does she expect from a date?” She will lay out a list of fifty items describing everything from the color of the jacket to the emotional nuances of the words of farewell. We women know exactly what we want (even those of us who won't admit it out loud). And how many women think about what awaits a man on a first date? Not in the sense of "peek the answer" and thereby increase your chance of being liked. And in the literal sense - what should a date be like for a man to enjoy it?

Let's try for a second to digress from the fact that the meeting is to be with the "unknown being of man" and remember that he is just a man. And then everything will fall into place. Let's start not from what a man expects on a first date, but from what a person usually wants from communicating with another person?

Respect

What does it mean? First of all, the fact that you will not force him to spend minutes of his life in the company of salt shakers and napkins, but will come to a date on time, thereby demonstrating that you respect his time and plans. In addition, you will dress differently than you usually go to work or to the store, which will emphasize the importance of this meeting for you. You will be sympathetic to his choice of location, even if it does not meet your expectations. After all, he also does not know your preferences.

Attention

Attention pleases everyone. And if you came to a meeting with a man, all your attention should belong to him. This is exactly what a man is waiting for. You don’t swear with the waiters, you don’t study the recipes on the menu so that you can cook them at home later, you don’t look at the outfits of the young ladies at the neighboring tables. Your attention is not a folder with an unfinished report and not a wedding dress store where you are already mentally trying on a veil. Now you are completely here with him. And, of course, your phone with the ringer turned off is in your purse, and not on the table, you are not interrupted by an annoying ringtone every now and then, and you do not scribble reports to your girlfriends in viber.

Warm

You show that you are glad to meet him, that you are pleased to see him and it is interesting to listen to him. You wonder who he really is, what kind of person he is, what makes him happy and sad, what interests him and what is boring, what makes his heart beat faster. And not for who he works, how much he earns, how many rooms in his house and where he will take you on vacation if you continue to meet.

Adoption

This person somehow lived all these years before meeting you and, mind you, survived. So all your "useful" comments about his appearance, preferences, career or hobbies are best left to yourself. He was not going to give an interview, he came to have fun. So try not to judge or judge. It is not only about words, but also about non-verbal manifestations: clattering of the tongue, shaking the head in accusation, ahah-ahah and theatrical rolling of the eyes. It is what it is and you have no right to change it. If you don't like it, just don't agree to a second meeting.

Gratitude

Of all the women in this city, he chose you. To all the actions that could expect him tonight, he preferred to meet with you. He also took the time to match you with clothes and colors. He paid the bill and walked you home. Agree, it is worth gratitude, even a small one. Gratitude is what a man expects most from a woman. Yes, perhaps you were hoping for a carriage, a serenade and a dragon's head, and now you are disappointed. But all good things in life start with gratitude. Be grateful for what you have already received and you will get everything you dream of!
