You’ve got a hot date on the
cards and you’re feeling
excited. You might be about
to meet the man of your
dreams but there are certain
things you’re hoping for
from this date. Guys – if
you’ve ever wondered how
you can instantly be in the
good books, here are the
secrets about the 15 things
a girl hopes for on the date.
1) The guy is on time
Punctuality is important.
There’s nothing more
cringeworthy than sitting
solo at the restaurant and
looking like you’ve been
stood up, so boys, show
some courtesy and always
try and be there before your
lady arrives.
2) He looks like his photos
(if you’ve met online)
Guys – if you’re posting
photos on a dating site/app,
make sure they’re not ten
years old or heavily
photoshopped. We don’t
want to be the victims of
false advertising and not
recognise you when you
walk in!
3) He smells nice
Never underestimate the
impact of a good aftershave.
When a guy smells good it
can really awaken all the
senses and boost the
attraction levels.
4) He’s a good listener
Rather than constantly
interrupting and speaking
over us, every girl hopes that
a guy will be a good listener
on a date, so ask questions
and be interested in what
your lady has to say.
5) Good table manners
No slurping, burping, eating
with your fingers or
splashing sauce everywhere.
Never forget your table
manners boys. Just because
when you’re out with the
lads, you’re used to licking
your fingers and throwing
ribs on the table – it doesn’t
mean a girl will also
appreciate this caveman-like
table etiquette!
6) He doesn’t have any
nasty surprises or
revelations
If a guy’s profile looks
perfect and we really hit it
off, the last thing we want is
some nasty surprises or
revelations on the first date.
Finding out you’ve got a wife
who you still live with or kids
that you failed to mention
previously is a dating aspect
we hope to avoid.
7) He isn’t a complainer
It’s always disappointing to
discover a guy is a
complainer! Whether he’s
complaining about his food,
his job or just life in general
– all ladies hope we’re going
to go on a date with
someone who radiates
positivity.
8) Things don’t get
awkward when it comes to
paying
We all hope that when it
comes to paying, things
don’t get awkward. We’ll go
halves if you want us to, we’ll
probably be thrilled if you
offer to treat us, but if we
offer to pay for the whole
meal and you say yes, this
won’t impress.
9) He doesn’t spend whole
time glued to his phone/
takes calls
Step away from the phone!
If a guy is more focussed on
checking his texts/emails/
answering calls than
speaking to us, it’s going to
be annoying. All girls hope
that the focus will be on us
during the date, not a man’s
mobile phone.
10) He’s taller than us
(even an inch)
You don’t have to be 6ft 5,
but when we’ve never met
before and height hasn’t
been discussed, we secretly
hope you’re taller than us,
even if this is only an inch!
11) He’s not a sleaze ball
It’s a real disappointment
when over text a guy seems
like a polite gentleman, but
in person he turns into the
ultimate letch who can’t
keep his hands to himself.
Keep that ‘wandering hand’
to yourself!
12) He arranges the date
and picks somewhere good
A man in control is very
desirable, so instead of
leaving all the planning to us,
arrange the date and pick
somewhere good – a
guaranteed way to impress!
13) He’s made the effort
and dressed appropriately
If we’ve made the effort for
a date, we always hope a
guy will reciprocate. When a
man turns up with scruffy
ripped jeans and unwashed
hair to a fancy restaurant,
we’re not going to be
impressed by his nonchalant
attitude.
14) He isn’t a picky eater
When a guy finds fault with
every item on the menu and
will only eat gluten-free,
lactose-free, organic
ingredients, it can quickly
get tiring!
15) He is complimentary
It’s always a pleasure to hear
nice things on a date so if a
guy is complimentary and
tells us we look nice, it’s a
sure-fire way to get in our
good books.
So there you have it – 15
things a girl hopes for on a
date. If you emanate charm
and stick to these points,
you’ll be well on your way to
scoring yourself another
date.
