Question 2

STAGE 1: Greeting (First 30–60 seconds)

Answer 2

Goal: Establish warmth, confidence, and early chemistry.
Vibe: Friendly, grounded, lightly warm.
1. Make eye contact and hold for a second longer than you would with a colleague. Not intense — just intentional.
2. Smile first. Say something easy and personal second.
Example:
“You look great — I feel underdressed now (or “that colour looks great on you”).”
“That’s a great coat. Strong power-move energy.” (soft compliment with gentle tease)
3. Optional light physicality (if natural):
* A touch on the elbow or upper arm when you greet.
* If seated already: a quick, warm hand gesture (“Hi!” palm) or small lean-in.

Question 3

STAGE 2: Settling Into the date (1–3 minutes)

Answer 3

Goal: Lower anxiety, initiate rhythm, begin emotional pacing.
Vibe: Calm, present, and gently curious.
4. Lead with presence, not performance.
Don’t dive into jokes or anecdotes yet — show interest by being still and with them.
5. Ask a grounded opener — “How was your day?”.

Question 4

STAGE 3: Early Playful Tease or Warm Remark (3–6 minutes)

Answer 4

6. Observational Compliment or Tease:

7. Use a Flirty Icebreaker:
* “What’s the most fun thing that’s happened to you this week that wasn’t this date?”
* “Okay, serious question — how long into this date are we allowed to confess embarrassing facts?”

Question 5

STAGE 4: Transitioning to Flow (6–10 minutes)

Answer 5

8. Anchor the vibe with a warm “meta” remark:
“It’s always that weird first few minutes of ‘are we actually having a date?’ — but I like this already.”

9. Transition to questions

Question 6

What body language should I use in the first 15 minutes to build romantic charge?

Answer 6

1. Lean in slightly while talking or listening — not too much, just an open posture.
2. Angle your body toward them (feet and shoulders).
3. Maintain soft eye contact when they speak, and especially while teasing or complimenting.
4. Use brief, appropriate touch:
   e.g. touch forearm or hand briefly during a laugh.
   brush hand lightly when passing them something.
5. Smile slowly — let moments breathe with short silences.
6. Mirror their gestures subtly if they’re relaxed.

Question 7

Playful version of: “How was your day?”

Answer 7

“How’s your day been — like, is this a ‘rescue me with wine’ kind of evening, or was your day so incredibly good, this is just the icing on the cake?

Question 8

“How was your day?” If she says it was BORING

Answer 8

“Well then, just as well you’ve met me. This date is going to be the main plot development of your day.”

Question 9

“How was your day?” If she says it was STRESSFUL

Answer 9

“Okay, so it sounds like you need wine and sympathy. I can definitely arrange for one at least of those two things.”

Question 10

“How was your day?” If she says it was GREAT

Answer 10

“Well then the pressure’s on me to keep that streak going”

Question 11

What are the most common mistakes that can unintentionally make a date feel platonic or flat?

Answer 11

1. Being too neutral or formal
* Sticking to safe, polite chat (“What do you do?”, “Where are you from?”) without warmth or curiosity.
* Sounds like networking, not dating.
2. Failing to signal romantic interest early
* No compliments, no emotional curiosity, no flirtatious tone.
* Leads to “nice but no spark” impression.
3. Letting the vibe feel like a job interview
* Rapid-fire Q&A instead of sharing + riffing.
* Avoid ticking off topics like a checklist.
4. Playing it too cool
* Overcompensating for nerves by staying aloof or overly ironic.
* Can come off cold or emotionally unavailable.
5. Not giving the moment time to breathe
* Talking non-stop or filling every silence.
* A little space helps flirtation build naturally.
6. Physical detachment
* Leaning away, crossed arms, no warmth in eye contact.
* Signals discomfort or disinterest even if unintentional.
7. Not mirroring their energy
* If they’re being playful, teasing, or cheeky and you’re overly serious or reserved, it creates mismatch.
* Being adaptable is key.
