Remember the magic of that first kiss? The anticipation, the magic, the butterflies…

As a matchmaker, let me tell you, that first kiss…it is SO much more important than we thought. Research shows that 55 % of men and 66 % of women couldn’t tell if they are attracted to someone till that first kiss (Source: Evolutionary Psychology). Most of us go on a date and make a decision on whether or not we are attracted to someone from the very beginning. If we are not attracted to them, we’ll dismiss them. BUT – a simple kiss can change that. A lot of people, women especially, change their mind about someone if the first kiss is good. Kissing can also determine if a relationship can be initiated. According to the evolutionary theory, there are psychological changes during a kiss that subconsciously signal if the other person could be a good partner.

When it comes to dating, women notice and analyze everything. You need to visually present well and put your best foot forward. It’s a fact that every woman likes a man who is well groomed, properly dressed, relaxed and charming.

And here’s a tip – we’re not joking about any of this stuff. These tips are real and NEEDED. We’re talking to you, every day guys, not just the ones who live in their parents’ basement.

Groan, here we are again. The awkwardness of another first date. What to say?!

Check out these tips on general first date topics of conversation. Remember to lighten up and have fun. Never talk about your exes for the first few dates, even if asked directly – change the topic and move on to something else. Keep your conversations positive.

Ladies, stop being so crazy when it comes to dating! Relax, look hot, let the man lead, limit your talk time and you’ll grace through dating.

Damn that girl’s fine.

Always look your best. Men are highly visual, will size you up in a second and put you in the hot or friend zone. We can’t all be Miss Venezuela, so if you aren’t – learn to maximize your best features (think bust, butt, legs). Sexy hair, a natural, light amount of makeup, heels, boots, skirts, dresses, a flattering pair of jeans are all great. Dress for your body type and choose a color that looks good with your skin tone and hair color.

It’s all about good vibrations and attitude.

Be positive and exude a good vibe. Not every guy’s a jerk nor is every girl shallow and after your money. There are great people out there so quit whining. Happy, positive people, attract happy, positive people. Your friends should also have the same attitude. Negative friends bring negative energy so NO opposite sex bashers!
