Be real, not prissy, and have FUN with it so it’s not awkward. Or flash him, whatever works.

Haha, I was going to say, smile when you catch him looking at your cleavage, works for me.

Juggle three running chain saws? Or be your best self.

Be yourself if that isn’t enough he’s not the right guy.

Sunny2's avatar

Smile at him and nod your head like you know something he doesn’t.

SpatzieLover's avatar

Put another way @lovelessness, do you want to be with someone you feel the need to “impress”? Or would you prefer to be with someone who likes you for you?

I always show him my penis.

Don’t wear underwear.

Just yell out some random conspiracy theory
He’ll think you’re really deep and stuff.

Tie a cherry stem in a knot with your tongue.

I like a girl who knows her fandom. She’s got to like gaming, that’s a must. Also, a basic knowledge of chess is a major plus. Sometimes being to alike can be annoying so it’s good to mix it up a little. For example, my wife is a big WOW player while I’d rather play Final Fantasy. Sure, they’re both RPG’s but they’re completely different.

@lovelessness How old and how mature is this guy you want to impress? It makes a difference.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

@jonsblond @Blondesjon I was going to suggest sliding an entire popsicle down her throat and then back out but I figured the entire collective would slap me.

@Adirondackwannabe – best answer so far…

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

@elbanditoroso That wasn’t the best answer. It was the crudest answer so far.
@Blondesjon Thank you.

My best friend could tie a cherry stem. She was a huge flirt, but she wasn’t easy. She was also Mormon The guys still liked her.

You really have to be the best you can be, for yourself, even BEFORE you meet the guy.

I know it sounds weird, but please believe me on this one.

If you are satisfied with yourself and what you have to offer, it won’t feel like you HAVE to IMPRESS someone—- that thought won’t even come into your mind. You’ll just be you, and it will come naturally.

Be happy – happiness comes from within. Love yourself fully. When you love yourself and accept yourself, it shows.

Education is enlightenment. Be smart. Learn more. Shoot for the stars. Know what you are talking about and back it up.

Be a person of utmost integrity. Speak with confidence and grace.

Once you have fully evolved as a person, you won’t feel the need to impress others. Instead, others are going to want to impress YOU. I hope this helps.

It also depends on the man you are interested in. His age, his personality, his interests, etc.

Good luck and remember—Let things flow naturally, be yourself, and don’t worry too much about what he might think. Just focus on yourself and allow yourself to reach your full potential as a human being and woman.

@lovelessness @jonsblond just gave you the best answer. Have fun, don’t be afraid to flirt, but make the guy earn your trust and affection. If he knows you respect yourself, he will respect you. Use your natural talents to attract him. Don’t be someone you’re not.

@Adirondackwannabe . . . pandering whore

Question is, will he impress you?

Give him head that knocks his socks off.

Have a fun, easygoing conversation with him, as if he were one of your friends.

Something as simple as “how’s your day been?” or “what have you been up to lately?” could get him talking about a subject he likes. If it’s something you care about too, you might find some common ground. You don’t have to give any earth-shattering insights here. As long as you can kind of keep the conversation going, and the tone is fun and casual, you’ll be fine.

It doesn’t really matter what you say in the first meeting. The friendship that comes after is much more important. You can make a graceful exit and get their contact info at the same time. If you have a good conversation going, say something like, “I’d love to talk to you more about (whatever), but I’m late for (whatever.) Can I call/e-mail you?”

Don’t ask them out on a date here- just give them a way to continue a conversation. See what develops from there. That takes so much pressure off the first meeting- so you don’t even really have to worry about impressing them.

Well there’s a first. I’ve never been called a “pandering whore” before.:)

rojo's avatar

Ohhhhh!

I thought you were called a Panda-ing whore and thought it was one of those Furry sex things.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

@rojo That wouldn’t be a first.

I would advise you to avoid most advice which claims to speak for how men and women feel about an issue or behave. The only common advice I’d agree with here would be to avoid discussing religion and politics at first, though these monsters will inevitably make themselves visible during the course of a relationship anyways.

I would also advise you to at least learn about his interests and hobbies, and compliment these if you can. If you can’t don’t lie, but instead act like you would be interested in learning about what he does or is into. Not all guys are the same, but I feel that my latter advice is a win win either way you look at it.
