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

Goodnight Text

After a nice evening with a guy, girls often want to be the last person who sends him a “goodnight” text before he goes to bed. Although being the last person to message him might seem important to you, he might worry that you’re the clingy type.

Alternative: Although sending him a friendly message thanking him for the nice time is a must, it’s better to wait the following day. It shows that you are not the desperate type and it gives him a chance to decide whether he’s interested in a second date. It provides a perfect opportunity for him to respond with a, “I had a good time too. I’d love to see you again.”

Crossing And Uncrossing Your Legs

Don’t get the wrong idea. We aren’t suggesting that you pull a Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct here. We’re just saying it’s not such a bad idea to switch the position of your crossed legs from time to time so that his eyes subconsciously wander to that area down below. This obviously works best if you’re wearing a dress or skirt. Showing off those attractive legs will provide a sneak preview of what he can expect if the evening is going well! There is no better way to flirt!

Alternative: If you prefer to dress more modestly or if you’re out on a date in Minnesota in the middle of winter, an effective, subtle technique that will send his heart aflutter is to make some light physical contact. A touch here on his forcep, a touch there on the shoulder. Just don’t overplay your hand and reach for the boys downstairs!
