What Guys Expect On A First Date

Sharing is caring!

You probably got invited to a date with this new guy, and you’re wondering what guys really expect on the first date.

I can tell you that the expectation of a guy during the first date might be quite different from that of a woman.

While women often ponder on what to wear or how to act, men also have their own expectations and desires. 

For instance, women may express their emotions more openly, while men usually respond more logically. These differences also apply to what each might expect from a first date. 

It is important to have a glimpse of what a man wants on a first date because it is said that first impressions last longer.

You can prepare yourself for a time to be on the safe side. 

To avoid chaos and regrettable actions, here’s a breakdown of what men typically look for on a first date. 

10 Things Guys Expect On A First Date

1. Genuine Connection

 On a first date, every man wants to feel that they are not creating a non-existent world. 

They don’t want to feel like they are the only ones pushing things. 

He wants the connection to come from both ends.

He also wants to know that it’s coming from a genuine desire to connect with him. The mutual connection makes it easier to express yourself and connect deeply beyond the date. 

To achieve this, it is important to embrace originality and authenticity. 

Be yourself and let your personality shine through.

2. He Wants To See Your Positive Energy:

Energy can be positive or negative, so you must be intentional about being positive. 

The energy you bring to the date affects every one of your actions, which can, in turn, make you perceive things the wrong way.

 Be accommodating, warm, and friendly. Don’t take things too seriously, and be open to having fun. 

A positive outlook will make the date enjoyable for both of you.

3. He Wants Physical Attraction

As much as men want to get attracted to you based on many things that are not physical, they are also concerned about what they can see on the outside. 

Admirably present yourself. 

Dress neatly and be confident.

 Additionally, own your look and personality because confidence is attractive. 

4. He Wants You To Actively Communicate: 

Another thing that men pay attention to is your manner of communication. 

He checks how you speak, say, respond and how active or passive you are during the conversation. 

Does she respond thoughtfully? Men want and look out for those things on a first date. 

So, your communication must be active, confident, polite, considerate, and thoughtful.

Do not dominate the conversation. Allow him to share his thoughts and opinions. Engage in active listening.

5. He Wants To Know Your Shared Interests:

Amidst many differences shared during the conversation, men love to find common ground where they can feel they share some things. 

As the conversation continues, if that’s not happening, it is crucial for you as a lady to intentionally engage in stimulating conversations. 

Be open-minded enough to flow along with his area of interest.

Even if it’s a topic you are oblivious to, step out of your comfort zone and try engaging in new subjects.

 Find shared interests to bond over; it could be a hobby, a book, or a movie. 

6. He Wants A Relaxed Atmosphere

Another thing guys really expect on the first date is a relaxed atmosphere.

Men don’t like a tense environment because it won’t help them leash out all they’ve got or prepare for the date.

A casual and comfortable setting like a coffee shop or a park will ease the pressure in the atmosphere. 

Stay cool and calm during the conversation, and put on a warm and welcoming smile throughout the conversation. 

Avoid activities that might cause stress or anxiety. It’s a date, relax and have fun!

7. He Wants A Good Sense Of Humor:

Having a sense of humor will not reduce your self-worth. You are not being cheap when you smile and laugh. 

Your smile and laughter give you a positive outlook and say a lot about you. 

Laughter can also break the ice and create a comfortable atmosphere for both of you. 

Don’t be afraid to share a joke or laugh at his funny stories. This little but essential act matters to men on a first date. 

8. He Wants Mutual Respect

Guys, we actually expect your respect on the first date.

In your quest to carry yourself well and portray yourself in a valuable manner, do not disrespect him and, in return, disrespect yourself.

 Respect is reciprocal. Treat him with kindness and respect, and expect the same in return.

 A respectful and considerate attitude can go a long way in building a positive connection.

9. He Wants You To Be Open-Minded

You would have no reason to consider and embrace new ideas and perspectives if it were just you.

 But now you are on a date with a different person who sees life in his own way.

You must be able to strike a balance by being open to trying new things and experiencing different perspectives. 

Even if you don’t agree with some of his views or ideas, don’t just reject them; weigh them, embrace them, and find a resolving point. This shows you’re flexible and adaptable.

10. He Wants A little Mystery:

 Men are like babies; they get bored quickly.

 They get tired of the old and reach out for something new. 

Don’t reveal everything about yourself on the first date to play safe or be strategic about your relationship with them.

Leave something to the imagination to keep him intrigued and wanting more. Later on, you can gradually let out the unrevealed part of you.

 It portrays you as a fascinating novel that never ends.

Wrapping Up

As much as the saying; ‘first impressions last long’ might not be entirely accurate, sometimes, how you carry yourself, your composure, body language, and reaction during your date with a guy will impress something in him about you.

So, if you’re seeking the best date with him, especially when you’re beginning to have butterflies in your belly towards him, you might need to slow down and implement all of these steps.

I wish you a beautiful date experience with him.
