The first date talk your father should have gave you

Black Coffee breaks down how men can smash the first date every time.

Many men were never taught what to do on a first date or were taught wrong but either their parents or the media.

Here are some tips on for you to smash the first date.

1.Take your time

There’s no rush. I don’t care how beautiful she is. There are plenty of beautiful women who would like to be with you. I don’t care if you’re 40 and the clock is ticking.

You should have built a fantastic life full of passions and friendships. That you don't need a woman, you just want one to compliment your already great life.

You show a woman this by taking it slow. There's no rush. When you first meet, no matter how good the date went never see a woman more than once a week and only text her to set up dates, don't message her how her day was in the week or if she got home OK.

No matter what you tell yourself. You're doing this because you want the certainty of if she still likes you, and this smacks of desperation.

Give her time to unpack the date to weigh up if she wants to see you again, and remember absence makes the heart grow fonder.
