How to Go From Your First Meeting to First Date - Follow This Roadmap to Romance
When traveling to a destination, most women will look for landmarks.
Men, on the other hand, generally prefer to look for street signs.
On the road to romance, women will think of certain events as landmarks in their relationship.
Men, however, don't like to ask for directions, so be prepared to provide him with clear signs of your interest.
Let's say you casually met a guy you think you might be interested in.
How do you go from that first meeting to a first date? If you have mutual friends - especially girlfriends who would be more than willing to help you find romance - see if you can find out where you can bump into him again.
If it's someplace like a bar or a club, go with friends, "accidentally" bump into him and say, "Hi, it's nice to see you again.
How have you been?" Make it a brief conversation and go off with your friends.
But try to make eye contact with him periodically and smile.
That's a sign most guys can easily read.
If he is at a full stop or looks like he's lost, "accidentally run into him" one or two more times.
Then when you see him the last time, playfully ask, "Have you been following me?" If he seems flustered and says, "Uh, no, not exactly," or something to that effect, but he also seems intrigued, follow that with "Too bad, I was hoping you were.
" If he doesn't immediately take that as a clear sign and follows up with a request for your phone number or asks for a date, try this.
Before you leave, go up to him and say, "Why don't you tell me where you're going to be on ____ and I'll try to be there.
This way I won't think you're stalking me and that it's just that you are too shy to ask for my number.
" If he has any interest in seeing you again, that is the clearest sign you can give him that you would like him to ask for your number.
It's playful, it's flirtatious without being too forward, and it just may be the final sign he needs to take your relationship from first meeting to first date.
