1. Do not even try to impress her!
Most men make that mistake. Women don’t actually like men that show off. Build her interest and curiosity. Smile and be natural. The more you will try to make her say “Wahoo” by “selling you”, the worst. Do not say how great you are: demonstrate it!
2. Be light and delightful: play with her, make her laugh.
It will make her feel really good and it will be a lot easier to see her again. Make her dream and put some emotions in what you are saying. Make her live your stories. Do not tell her that you are strong, tell her a story where you had to fight to win.
3. Be gallant.
Even if she says she does not care about it, women play the “independent card” but they actually appreciate a gentleman. Open her the door, carry heavy bags for her, even if she seems to be cold offer your coat, etc. Of course, that does not mean that you have to pay for everything or to be her slave, just that you are able to show that you care about her.
4. Make her feel that you drive the boat by being proactive and responsible.
Show her that you are ambitious and that you would man-up for yourself (or for her). Even though a situation would normally make you react emotionally negative, you should keep your composure and show her that you are in control.
5. Be attentive and open.
She wants you to meet her friends? Why not? Show her that you care and that she is special. Let her talk and listen. If you do not agree with what she is saying do not interrupt her. Even if you don’t agree, let her finish. If she asks you what you think, first acknowledge what she is saying and what she feels. Just tell her that you see things differently and make her curious about your opinion.
