Ladies, tips to getting asked out this weekend


For some women, nailing a date is as easy as walking into a room with her head held high up and watching as the men trip over themselves to talk to her.

But for the average woman, getting a date takes a bit of work. Here’s a look into things that will get you noticed this weekend;

1. Stop flaunting your flaws – True, the only man that deserves you is the one who will accept you with all your flaws. That said, it is unwise to keep flaunting your flaws in prospective partners’ faces. Don’t start telling him on the first date that he should love you in spite of this or that. Flaunt your positives, he will learn the negative with time.

2. Show interest – You are not going to be asked on a date unless a man thinks that you are interested. Men love the thrill of the chase so don’t chase them. They however need an invitation to pursue. This can be in the form of smiles or holding his gaze.

3. Wear the right colours – Yes, the colours you choose to wear send different messages regarding your personality. When going out this weekend, make sure your choice of clothes is well fitting and the right colour depending on the message you want to send out there. While women in black are seen as grounded, women in red come off as passionate and powerful.

4. Be quiet – It is good to be outspoken and opinionated. You don’t have however to make your point known at every meeting, forum or date. Learn when it is a good idea to just be quiet and take in what the others are saying.

5. Get out of the house – Getting asked out on your dream date could be as easy as getting out of the house. You don’t need to stalk your love interest or to go to places where your type of man hangs out. All you need to do is go out there and do the things that you enjoy doing.

6. Feel your best – Putting on nice clothes and make up is one thing, feeling good on the inside is another. The latter radiates. When you feel your best, it makes you confident, self-assured and it is very alluring to the male folk.

7. Don’t play hard to get – Every woman at some point has heard that men love women who are hard to get. Well, this isn’t true. While a man will not fancy a woman who will ask him in on a first date, he wants a woman who is easy to understand and consistent in regard to what she wants.

8. Flirt – In addition to it being a lot of fun, flirting will definitely get you asked on more dates than you are going on now. Be playful, pay that handsome man a compliment and then sit back and watch as all the little pieces fall into place.
