I thought it was kind of cute that he was so shy - and he was smart to go out with such an outgoing friend. I had no idea he was even interested in pursuing me until the end of their dinner, when Sam got up to use the restroom and told me #21 was interested. If I didn't know better, I would have thought that Sam was flirting with me, but as it turned out, he was just a really good wingman. He was there with his friend, Sam, an outgoing guy who told me he had recently gotten married and was expecting his first child. I met date #21 at work, when I was a server at a steakhouse in San Francisco.

He walked across the room to where his friends were standing and looked back at me. For a second, we locked eyes and there was this undeniable chemistry - no words required. I was standing at the top of a flight of stairs, talking with my friends when he walked past. It's another way to make a great first impression before you even start talking.Ĭase in point: I met date #26 at a nightclub in San Francisco. One of the most important ways to pique someone's romantic interest is to make - and hold - eye contact. It's not a look every guy can pull off, but he'd made it work - and that really increased his appeal. Dressed in a fitted business suit complete with skinny tie and black-rimmed glasses, he seemed to have mastered the tall, dark, and handsome archetype. It helps, too, to master your own "signature style." For example, I met date #14 at a fancy bar in the financial district of San Francisco. If nothing else, you'll be confident that you look polished and put-together, so you can focus on the interaction instead of your insecurities. What I am saying is clean up the scuff marks on your shoes and iron your clothes before you go out. I'm not saying go out and spend your life savings on new clothes, a fancy watch, or an overpriced new car. Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders.
