It can be nerve-wracking enough meeting a man that you already know for a first date, let alone a man you met on an internet dating website.

However, there are certain things you can do in order to leave a good impression on your date and hopefully improve your chances of being asked out on a second date.

Smile Often

When you smile, it brightens up your face and makes you that much more attractive inside and out.

Men love women who smile.

When you smile often throughout the date, he will feel like you are truly having a good time.

This will enable him to relax and be more himself.

The more relaxed the environment is, the better it is for the both of you.

Compliment Him

Men like to be complimented as well.

By complimenting him, you make him feel good and self-assured.

This is an important online dating tip because the more self-assured he is, the more interesting the first date becomes.

In complimenting him, you put him in a position where he feels that you are taking due notice of him.

For two people that have spent the majority of their interaction through an online dating site and not in the flesh, this is a good thing.

This also allows him to feel increasingly at ease knowing that you appreciate that aspect of him.

Offer Or Attempt To Pay Your Own Way

The unwritten general rule in courtship is that men typically pick up the tab.

That doesn’t necessarily change when you are online dating.

However, you will indeed impress him if you offer or attempt to pay your own way.

No matter what ultimately happens, by doing this you have instantly placed yourself in a good position in his mind.

This gesture makes you stand out from the rest and that is what you always hope for on your first date with a person that you met through an internet dating service.

Stand out.

If you stand out to him, then you increase your chances of being asked out on a second date.

Meet At HIS Favorite Spot

Depending on where the both of you decide to meet, going to a place that he frequents or enjoys going to would leave a very good impression on him.

For example, if the both of you decide to have dinner and you choose to meet him at his favorite Italian restaurant, you have already left a very good impression on him before you have even met.

In this environment, he will feel at home and more in sync.

There will be less nerves on the date and he will be able to open up and even be entertaining.

You could even take it a step further by ordering a favorite dish that he enjoys eating at this restaurant.

Doing this would show how open and fun you are at this initial point.

That second date would surely be a given.

These are ways that you can leave a good impression on a first date with a man that you met through an online dating site.

Clearly, if you like this guy and the first date is going well, you would want to give yourself the best chance of being asked out on a second date.

These can help by putting you in that direction.
