Making a first date successful by Rosalind Baker

Yes there are small things you can do to make dating easier. At Entre Nous introduction agency, we find that by projecting a positive attitude whether you feel that way or not you are can condition your subconscious mind. Positive people seem to have all the luck. But it's not just luck - you can make your own luck by following these simple steps.

1. Imagine you are successful. Paint pictures of yourself being articulate, fun and above all well mannered.
2. Don't paint unrealistic pictures. Stop yourself from hoping he/she will be Mr/Ms Right. Imagine you will be making a friend.

Finding a partner is uppermost in the single man or single woman's minds. It can be all-consuming. Unfortunately, if one is intense you are likely to 'put off' the very person that could be just right for you.

At Entre Nous introduction agency we call it 'burning a perfectly good introduction'. That's why we recommend activity meetings initially - casual, informal, definitely not dinner dating. We recommend a second meeting which gives the nervous person a second chance in the hope they will be less tense next time.

You can help yourself by controlling your thinking. Fantasising about the ultimate, (walking down the aisle in a white wedding dress or becoming intimate) will make you nervous when you meet him/her. It is safer to guide your thoughts along a realistic path. Be positive but realistic.

The single girl who tells her best friend, she is not expecting much but has her heart set on Mr Right, when they meet, may pout because he is slightly balding when she wants a full head of hair. He, not realising that normally she is a lovely lady, will escape.

Unaware that she has 'burnt a perfectly good introduction', she will tell all and sundry: "I am very fussy", "All the good men have been taken", and "There's a man drought".

Everyone, without doubt, wants romance, sex and a happy family unit. However, these things take time so do not imagine it before a first date. If it is your goal, it will happen but don't confuse your subconscious mind by imagining it happening with every single man or single woman you meet.

By controlling your thoughts and only thinking about beginning the journey, the beginning will go well. If you can get to first base the rest will be easier.

Imagine that each person you meet will agree to a second activity meeting. Imagine yourself engaging in interesting fun activities with lots of laughter. See him/her laughing at your wisecracks and you feeling good about yourself.

See yourself being attentive and well mannered – just aim at being popular on first dates and the rest will follow.
