Relationships are based on common grounds. If he is into marvel movies and you are not, being a good listener and eager learner will leave a good impact. Same goes for him. Test your flirting skills on him.


If he is shallow, then its only your looks that rock his world. People are different, but thats all I can say.

Excelent question. I think I will write a MyTake on that subject.

1) Be respectful but not a doormat. Be nice until given valid reason to not be nice.

2) Engage. Listen. Respond. Add to the conversation. Introversion or social anxiety don't excuse you from this. You gotta bring your A game, or you might as well stay home.

3) Leave politics at the door. This isn't the place to convert your date to red pill philosophy or 4th wave feminism. Nobody cares who you voted for in 2016, and if they do, then you're not obliged to justify yourself. Let that sleeping dog lie.

4) Don't brag, just bring your full attention and consideration to the date, and let them discover your awesomeness through the natural course pf getting to know each other.

5) Maintain an attitude of curiosity. You should show up with the mindset of "this person has something incredible about them, and I'm going to find that something". Rather than trying to win their approval, which makes you look weak and pathetic. To be interesting, be interested.

6) Flirt your ass off. This is a hot date, so turn up the heat! Break the physical touch barrier as early as possible, while maintaining social acuity and dialling it back at the first sign of discomfort. You can always try again soon.

7) Know when to call it quits. If your date is turning down every innocuous attempt at flirtation, being rude to waiters, ignoring you while they whatsapp their friends, or are just generally 'not clicking' whatsoever, then there's wisdom in knowing when to bow out. Don't get into a confrontation over it, just remind them why you're on a date to begin with, and if they show no interest in correcting their shitty attitude, then just pay your half and walk right out the door. Never lower yourself to uphold someone else's self-appointed pedestal. You want to put yourself on a pedestal and then invite them up to join you. Excellence begets excellence.

Don't expect the man to pay for your dinner like you're a child. That way, you don't owe him anything and he isn't wasting his time on a gold digger.
