13 Rules of Engagement and Survival for a girls first date
1. Absolutely feel free to get your nails hair and waxing done (hairy arm pits are totally not acceptable, to anyone, so please check and sort if needed). Most guys notice that sort of thing here on a first date, and your chances of getting a phone call in 3-4 days definitely go up a notch if you are defuzzed and well groomed. Lets just not put that notch on his belt tonight though eh? Practice some self control. We all know men of all walks of life enjoy the chase far more than the kill. Sorry but it is true. You know this.
2. Red Lipstick, NO for first date. Hot on the 3rd maybe as it gives a certain signal, don't you think? But for the first, a nice blush colour lip gloss should suffice. Biting of the lower lip and acting slightly embarassed about something you did when you were 16 are always a hit. Biting of lips gets all men going, as does slow straw drinking and an ever so slight chew of your straw (I am talking mili seconds here) and a little smile while he tells you something funny or nostalgic. Make him wonder what you are thinking, and I can tell you it is your mouth and cleavage that he will spend most of his focused attention on.
3. Make sure he picks you up. DO NOT agree to meet him in a bar. Old school chivalry should be both expected from you, and dished out by him. If he is not willing to pick you up, seriously, I question his being an old school gent. That is what you deserve, an old school gent, so don't settle, no matter how long it is since you got some attention!
4. When he arrives to collect you don't delay too much, be ready. Make him wait 2 minutes while you put your gloss on and grab your bag. DO NOT invite him in. Think Vampire rules here ladies, once they are invited in once they can come in when ever. Not a good way to start!
5. Do not giggle to much or laugh at every thing he says. You can slag him off once, but then take it back. Show him you are witty but also empathic. Try not to be "too cool" or bitchy. Not attractive. Again to either gender. Am I right?
6. If you don't understand something that he says, or a topic, instead of telling him that, change the subject to something that it reminds you of, or blurt something out saying that you had to say it now or you would forget and then roll with that. We do not want to appear intellectually inferior. Please know what is hot in the news that day and what the Americans are at politically, and the bubble that is Hong Kong. If you are not a banker it is entirely acceptable to admit knowing NOTHING about the stock market and to change topic there too. Again though, do not demean his job by saying things like "Wow you are nothing like all the other "wanker bankers" I meet here!" Even though you think you are complimenting him, you are slagging off his profession and maybe sabotaging that 3 day call back....up to you though!
7. Eat something! God damn it woman eat! Men have no time for salad consuming lasses. They like women who eat and exercise. So save up those calories if you have to, but have a steak if you want! Do it!
8. Share desert. I think this is a sweet way to bond. Use different spoons, you still don't know this guy that well, and let him have the last piece. He will insist that you have it if he is that old school gent, but please try to come across as someone with some self control! ;)
9. Don't drink too much. We need to keep our wits about us ladies on these first dates. Men here have irresistible charm. It goes with their jobs. Do not be fooled by their smooth conversation and endless compliments! Compos Mentis is the only way on this first menage.
10. Do go for "one more" but in a public place. Not at his place, and definitely not at yours, as we established in point 3. Have something that spells out night cap very clearly, a baileys or an ameretto.
11. Let him pay for everything. Do not even suggest paying your half. back to the gentleman thing. You are being taken out here and let yourself be spoilt. Please let him pay and hold your tongue. If he asks you to pay or says "How will we sort the bill?", you pay, get up, and walk away with out saying a word. The guy is an absolute jerk. See ya!
12. Let him "put you" in a cab home, not "drop you" on his way in the same cab. Also a kiss on the lips briefly is fine, but no more. Put your hand on his arm, look him in the eye, tell him you had a great night, the best in ages, wink and get in the cab and don't look back! This is hot shit girls, so listen up and listen good. You want him going home with a smile from ear to ear and a day at work tomorrow where all he can think of is that wink and what the hell did it mean!
13. Wait for the call. I hope he does! He will. And if he doesn't, babe he didn't deserve you anyway! ;)
