How do you date a woman without making her feel uneasy?

Like some men, you may have a hard time talking to women. You don’t know how to communicate without being awkward. You are afraid that once you start talking, women will start to feel ill at ease.

It’s not that you want to make them feel that way. You are simply not good at conversing with women.

To learn how to deal with a woman better during your first date, here are some helpful tips to consider.

Tip #1. Ask where she prefers to have a date.

It’s a huge red flag when you ask a woman to have a date in a private location. For obvious reasons, she wants to make sure you’re not some creep with cruel intentions.

Even if you have been chatting online for months, don’t ask her to go on a date at your place.

Instead, meet her at a coffee shop or restaurant.

You can also ask her about her preferred meeting place. This way, you have already proven your intentions even before your first date.

Tip #2. Give genuine compliments.

A lot of blogs online talk about giving women compliments the right way, but your timing is just as important.

Some women prefer to be praised for their looks, while others like to be complimented on their actions.

However, it all depends on your intentions — your compliment should come from a genuine place.

Don’t just say how beautiful she is. Look into her eyes, give her a smile, and make sure that your tone is cheerful when you tell her that she looks beautiful.

Tip #3. Avoid asking offensive questions.

I understand if you want to make the most of your first date by asking lots of questions. However, some topics should be left out of your conversation.

These include private questions about politics, religion, sex, past relationships, and appearances.

Instead, try to build a connection.

Ask her what she thinks of the food you ordered. Talk about your shared hobbies and interests. Listen to her and try to keep the conversation going.

Tip #4. Respect her boundaries.

Sometimes, there are certain actions that make a woman uncomfortable.

Asking too many questions as a result of being too nervous, for example.

Since this is your first date, you want to know more about her. What does she do for a living? What are her hobbies? What does she think of the place?

But because you are nervous, you tend to ramble on and on about matters that you shouldn’t ask or talk about.

When you find yourself in this situation, stop talking. Take a deep breath and calm yourself down. Lastly, say sorry.

Whether she asks you to stop talking about certain topics or she is just smiling awkwardly, tell her that you regret making her feel uncomfortable.

Treat Your Date Right

Dating is difficult for a man who is bad at conversations. A few mistakes may lead to a terrible date.

However, you cannot avoid talking to your date just because you’re bad at it. Conversations are necessary for building a relationship with a potential partner.

Instead of not doing anything about it, learn how to properly communicate with a woman.

Give genuine compliments. Don’t ask offensive questions. If she seems ill at ease, stop what you are doing and check what’s making her feel that way.

All things considered, just be a good man. Treat a woman right and she’ll appreciate you even before you decide to pursue her after the first date.
