As a guy if you would like to be more successful with the ladies there are certain rules that you should follow when you are going on a date. Whether it's your first time or you are striving for a chance you must have some knowledge on what attracts women. Some of these rules may seem like a waste of time but they can do wonders for you when you are out on a date.

Women are from Venus. They have extremely different personalities which will sometimes bite at your normal antics on them. Therefore by understanding what makes them tick, you should be able to gain enough confidence to ask for a second date. Here are some of the things that you should remember when going on a date:

Women are very keen when it comes to appearance, so if you want to make a good impression, discard all sloppy and messy apparel and put on a new outfit and a nice pair of leather shoes (women notice your shoes from time to time). Before the date it is important that you know proper hygiene and care for yourself before considering a life where you will be taking care of another person.

Most women would like a man who has established himself in life, so if you're doing bad at work, it's important that you try to do better. It may not seem very relevant on your dating expeditions, but once you have chosen your future partner your financial and career life will be included in your everyday discussions.

Women love guys who are funny, knowledgeable and who act like a proper gentleman. Though it may seem like a 19th century behavior, a guy with table manners, who can crack a good joke, and who can sweep a girl off her feet with intelligence and in-depth reflection always rises to the top. Try reading more current events and be updated with what is going on with the world as an option for a conversational topic during dinner.

When you are finally at the dinner table and are waiting for the food to arrive, always remember that girls appreciate a man who listens to their life stories and interests more than talking non-stop about himself and his life story. You are not asking a woman out to make yourself more popular among the opposite sex, you are asking her out because you would like to get to know her better. So keep your date interested by balancing the flow of the conversation; listen when she speaks about herself and respond when she asks you a question.

The last commandment is that you should never expect sex on the first date. These rules constitute more than just meeting women for possible relationships. These rules are the basic principles of how to court a woman and with that you must show your respect towards them. Once the date is over, take her home if dinner is all you ever planned on. If you are planning on surprising her afterwards, let it not be in your bed chambers.
