When was the last time you thought about manners? It was probably when your mother taught you a few things in grade school. Manners are the unspoken rules of social behavior, the way we stay within the lines. Manners seem basic and easy, but of course they are not. They are the guidelines men can use to either entice or scare away potential dates. Use proper manners, and you can open nearly any door you want. But display poor manners and doors will continue to slam in your face.
Unfortunately, many men fail to use manners to their advantage. If it’s been a while since you brushed up on your manners, don’t fret. Here are few rules of the game, provided to you by leading dating coach and founder of New York Socials, Marina Margulis.
Start Off Right
Never underestimate the power of manners, especially when it comes to first impressions. If a woman agrees to a first date, don’t ruin her first impression with poor manners. Examples of poor manners that can ruin a first date include tardiness, poor appearance, and being overly talkative or not focusing your attention on your date. Our high end dating service in NYC offers dating coaching for men who are interested in a list of do’s and don’ts for first dates.
Don’t be a Turn Off
So you aced the first date with great manners, now don’t forget to keep it up. Women are easily turned off by men with bad manners whether it’s the first or tenth date. What’s the problem? Bad manners reveal a man with poor social skills, who is not only sloppy in the treatment of his dates, but of others around him; who is not serious about his relationships or who doesn’t care about the outcome of the evening. A woman wants a man who can hold his own in social settings, not someone she will have to groom and reprimand.
Say Yes to Chivalry
Chivalry is not dead and is greatly appreciated by women. Remember to be considerate and courteous, especially when talking to her. Look into her eyes, ask her questions, and compliment her. Pick her up for a first date, open doors, and walk her to the door or taxi. Small gestures go a long way.
Balance is Everything
There is a fine line between confidence and arrogance. Women love assertive men, but not boars. An assertive man is able to clearly articulate his wants and needs without being pushy or demanding. Think James bond.
