So, you’ve chosen an object of your affection, but now you have to figure out how to impress her. Almost every guy, no matter how fervently they tell you otherwise, is worried about impressing girls. As a sex, we stress and deliberate over how to develop an attractive image to women almost constantly. And the fact is, every woman is bound to be impressed by different things. But, there are a few surefire things you can do to increase your likelihood of impressing her (the object of your affection) quite a bit.

  1. Get to know her. This is the most efficient and effective route to impressing a woman. As you become closer friends, you will inevitably learn her likes and interests. From there you can use them to your advantage If, for example, she’s very much into a particular type of music, you can easily impress her with a fantastic new song or band that she’ll like. The possibilities are endless, and the fact that your efforts are specifically tailored to her certainly helps.
  2. Understand the basics of attraction. If you’re “playing the field at the moment” and it’s not a specific woman you’re going after, you can still impress women in general by doing a few specific things. First, be confident. Even the most attractive girls are often taken aback when confronted with a truly self-confident guy. Acting like she’s nothing special, oddly enough, will likely impress her. Second, use your compliments wisely. An attractive girl has heard a million different variations of “you’re beautiful.” She’s tired of it. To separate yourself, get specific. Find a feature you like about her and tell her about it in a way that’s not overly patronizing or sweet. Oh, and please don’t make it a body part. That’s just creepy. The final and simplest basic rule of making an impression on the opposite sex is to just act like a man. Though gender lines have trended towards the blurred side in recent years, women are still impressed by a masculine guy. It’s natural. Be sure not to overdo this, as it will come off as disingenuous. Just maintain that air of confidence and your own natural masculinity.
  3. Impressing her in the first few stages of courting is as simple as staying a little mysterious. Guys too often reveal a ton about themselves early on. This usually leads to a loss of interest on her part. To avoid letting this happen to you, just keep the first few conversations about her. Ask her questions, and when she asks about you, stay a little vague. In this way you’ll both pique her curiosity and impress her quite a bit.
