How to Impress a Date

Dating is more of an art than a science, and you can never really predict how a date is going to go. That's why we talked to dating experts to bring you the most valuable tips on how to make sure that date goes off without a hitch:

  • Dating coach and matchmaker Stefanie Safran says that "making an effort" is key, and recommends grooming yourself and upping your hygiene before a date to impress the other person and not drive them away.[1]
  • Dating coach and matchmaker Laura Bilotta says to "know what you want" ahead of time, and to take pride in your own accomplishments and successes, which grants you confidence and makes you more attractive.[2]
  • Dating coach Joshua Pompey says to "come in with a fun easy-going vibe" and that the goal is to show them that "you're someone that's fun and easy to hang out with and cool to talk to."[3]
  • Dating and relationship coach Emyli Lovz recommends that you "listen more than you talk" on a date, and to ask your date profound, interesting questions that aren't just yes-or-no, which shows genuine interest and helps stoke conversation.[4]
  • Dating coach Imad Jbara recommends relaxing and letting go of the need to impress. He says that people who try too hard to impress someone "don't say how they're really feeling and they compromise their own personality in order to accommodate the other person in front of them, which comes off as very desperate because now you're desperately needing the approval of the other person."[5]
