Het Noorden

So you’re all set to get into the dating pool, and start looking for a girl. Awesome! What’s next? As we embark on our journey, it’s important to be prepared. Read more now on work on yourself.

Confidence comes first. You don’t even need the charisma or Brad Pitt. Be yourself. Authenticity is appealing. Ever heard of the phrase, “Fake until you make it?” Don’t try to fake it, but be authentic.

Now, let’s discuss appearance. Nobody expects you to look like an runway model. However, taking good care of yourself will go a very long way. Shower regularly, dress in clean, well-fitting clothes, and spray on some cologne, but not too many! You want to be noticed for your charm rather than because you can smell her from a long distance.

Talking of charm, lets talk about conversational skills. A conversational style that engages is key to success. Ask open-ended and thoughtful questions, then listen to what she says. Don’t just nod when she says that she loves hiking. Instead, ask about her favorite trails and share your own funny hiking stories.

You can also use humor to your advantage. Women like a man who makes them laugh. Do not worry if you aren’t naturally funny. Sharing silly jokes or stories that make people laugh can be a great way to break the ice.

Keep in mind that body language also speaks volumes. Don’t stare at someone like you’re competing in a county fair staring contest. Maintain eye contact. Smile a lot. It is contagious and will make you more approachable.

Now what? You have the basics down pat: confidence, appearance and conversational skills. Now what? It’s time to take action!

Get out there, literally! Join clubs and groups that interest your interests. It does not matter whether they are book clubs, cooking classes or other clubs. By doing this, you can meet women who have similar interests.

Use social media for more than cat videos and memes! Engage in discussions on pages that relate to your hobby. You’ll never know who may slide into your DMs.

It’s also worth checking out online dating apps. Just be careful to not come across as desperate in your messages. Start off with something light and funny before getting into the personal.

Rome was not built in one day. Let things develop naturally, without rushing anything.

It’s a part of life that rejection happens. You can be okay if someone rejects you despite your best attempts! You should move on, not dwell on what did not work out. She was just the wrong person for you!
