Hmmm,
Some of these are regarding first impressions (eg: we have not met yet) and some could be applied to a first date. Im not really as picky as it may seem, but these would be my "desires"...
*Clean, fresh smelling with a touch of aftershave or cologne
*Clothing neat, clean and matched. Should be appropriate for the outing. Dont go "Queer Eye" on me though
*Casual conversation good but please dont over do it by thinking you have to talk ALL the time. Silent moments are good times for sweet looks, body positioning and relaxing. Keep chat light and ask me questions about myself too, nothing intimate/too personal at first. If you ask me a question I respond to and want to talk about...LISTEN, and maybe, ask further questions relating.
*I agree with the "confidence" thing...nearing cocky but not arriving there.
*BE A GENTELMAN and open the friggin DOOR!
*No cling'ons but let me/her know there is interest.
*Smile! Laughing is good too
*Shy is ok as long as you can still breathe and talk some
*Introduce me to friends if weve just met and they are around
*At least appear social and somewhat adjusted..if you fake it fine too re: shy
*Eye contact is good
*dont get blasted on the first meeting/date!!!
*If I want sex on the first date, I will let you know. If I am agreeable to sex on the first date...I prob am planning to make the event a one night stand.
*I like intelligent men. If you are stupid, shut up re: talk but keep it light
*I LOVE long hair on men as long as its tamed. If you are mostly bald, you should not try to wear it long IMO
*Walking... do this with confidence and good posture. Head up. A touch of strut is good
*If you are a smoker (as am I) dont blow smoke in my face or chain smoke please
*Please refrain from ranting about exes, work, money or what ever else ails you
*Please refrain from gum chewing or chewing tobacco. I chew gum but its rude while you are speaking to someone (until you are married of course...lol)
*I even like it when a "new to me" man sorta establishes a claim on me if we are in a gathering. Not to the point that I feel I have to tear myself away to speak to others but just showing strong interest. Now, please, dont hang on me... but dont appear flirty with other women in my presence! Exception: if I say something along the lines of "nice to meet you and hope we get to chat again soon" right after we met...Im still looking dear. For someone ELSE.
I could go on but...im already starting to sound like there are too many criteria. Guess I coulda broken this down to DATE or MEET..but you guys should be able to figure it out
