I Finally Found a Dating Trick that Works
I’m a 27 year old guy who’s unfortunately been single most of my life. I’ve been set up on dates by friends, have used Match.com, Tinder, and a whole host of other dating apps, and have even browsed The Red Pill on Reddit in order to learn dating strategies that might work for me.
Unfortunately, I still have never had a serious girlfriend. I have a problem getting past the first date or two. I realize now that the first couple of dates are really sort of “putting on a show” and it’s more important to just have a good time and to stay relaxed.
Since I’m a little socially akward, what I discovered was that I could learn a few tricks to help me get through the first few dates, until I felt more comfortable with the girl.
While I don’t believe too much in psychic readings about love, this type of talk can be a great conversation starter or fallback when I’m left without anything to say. For example, I learned how to read palms, which is a surprisingly good way to get a little physical with a girl (holding and delicately touching her hand) while telling her interesting things about herself.
I learned from an awesome website and highly recommend spending 15 minutes studying the heart line, the life line, the love line, etc. I even joke that one of the lines (actually her heart line) says she falls in love easily, and that her fate line says it could happen in the very near future, so be very careful with me!
Another trick I learned is how to make some cool dollar bill oragami like a wedding dress, a heart, or a butterfly. Sometimes I’ll put a butterfly dollar bill in the tip envelope at a restaurant, and if the date is going really well, and my tip got some positive comments, I may make my date a heart or flower.
Now when I go on first dates, I have a little ammunition to back me up when I’m feeling shy or uncomfortable. These things are great ice breakers, make me interesting, and I can always get a laugh or smile from the girl I’m with.
Getting to know someone takes time, especially if you’re a relatively shy person and introverted (like me). It helps to have a few different and unique conversation pieces for when I get too quiet or am not sure what to say. The funny thing is that I’ve been feeling much more confident since learning these tricks, and haven’t really had to rely on them as often as I used to.f
