Not Getting His Attention On That First Date? Here’s What (And What Not) To Do! (2 of 4)

Constant Freshening Up

You might want to be careful about excusing yourself multiple times to go powder your nose. Sure, it might seem like a clever idea to check and make sure your lipstick and hair are still looking their best, but the dude isn’t going to be a mind reader. For all he knows, you’ve got a digestive problem, and that’s not exactly the kind of thing he wants to imagine!

Alternative: If you’ve done your hair and makeup the right way, there’s no reason to have to run off to the bathroom every 20 minutes to make sure you still look hot. It would also be a good idea to invest in some long-wear lipstick. The extra cost will be worth it!

Winking

Although winking is one of those things that is associated with flirting, it is something that is more common for guys to do. So if you give your date a wink, he is most likely not to read anything into it. Of course, if you wink at him several times over the course of the evening, he will probably notice, but he’ll also wonder if you’ve got some kind of neurological condition.

Alternative: Making frequent eye contact lets them know you’ve got their full, undivided attention. It also shows that you are confident, a feature that all guys find sexy.
