There are a few ground rules that you should know and implement to make sure that all of your dates go off without a hitch. For those of you in long-term relationships, these points are mainly for newer relationships so feel free to skip ahead to the "Date Disclaimer" if you'd like (although you can definitely still learn something new here).
I’ve always loved these guidelines because they are so “set-it-and-forget-it,” it's ridiculous. And as we all know, the more prepared you feel going into a date, the more you can relax and truly be yourself.
Always Be Leading
The number one most important thing about a perfect date is his effort in creating it. Have a plan and always be leading- As a coach, I can put up with a certain amount of advice. What would you wanna to do... Conversations? but I would really rather not?
Women are attracted to a man that has the ability to lead them. The fact that you sought out this book means that, on some level, you are intuitively aware of this (way to go out and that you want to be seen as a leader in your relationship. Having the ability to tell your date/ girlfriend/wife that you are planning something and she should leave her Friday night open will give you major bonus points. Whether it's the first date or fiftieth date, women will always be disappointed if they get picked up for a date and the man asks "So what do you feel like doing tonight?" Please don't ever be that guy! Be the man that has a plan and lead her on an adventure.
Built-In Exit Strategy
Having an exit strategy is important for different reasons in different relationships. It all comes to remaining flexible. If you're on a first date with a woman, and it turns out you don't actually get along that well, then being locked into a three-hour dinner would be a nightmare. On the other hand, if you’re on a date with your long-term partner and it just so happens that she is suddenly struck with the overwhelming urge to rip your clothes off and jump you, who are you to deny her that right?
Ready-To-Use Conversation Pieces
Why do all of the heavy lifting yourself? You need to make your dates feel effortless. Many of the dates have built-in conversational pieces around you so that there are things to talk about/laugh/enjoy together.
Physical Touch
Finally, these dates have lots of opportunities for physical contact between the two of you. What is the difference between your date and everyone else in your life?
Physical intimacy and sexual tension. There's nothing I worse than being on a dinner date where you sit opposite your date, staring each other down while slurping your spaghetti noodles. This date gives you effectively ZERO chance for physical contact unless you both happen to reach for a bread roll at the same moment.
