3 First Date
 Rules That
Make You Or
 Break You
The lack of information in the PUA
 Community about taking women on
 actual first dates (much less dating and
 relationships) is a bit misleading.
By the small amount of instruction and
 education the community and pick up
 artist forums offers, one tends to think
 that Same Night Sex is the majority of
 outcomes from cold-approach pickup.
 Frankly, it‟s not.

                        Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
I know we‟ll be in a bit of hot water with
 the „Same Night Lay‟ companies out
 there, but allow me to explain.
A cold-approach pickup is a tumultuous
 art that can result in several outcomes.
 From a cold-approach, you can get a
 number, you can get a makeout, you can
 get a makeout and a number, a Same
 Night Lay, or even the infamous double
 cold approach threesome made infamous
 by Johnny Wolf! Frankly, the possibilities
 are fairly numerous.
                        Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
However, assuming you’re a normal
 guy and not an obsessive compulsive
 PUA Community guy with a warped
 perception of reality, then the most
 common (and emotionally healthy)
 outcome is a first date.




                     Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
Since you and a lady have exchanged
 information at the club (or bar, or
 bookstore, or café) and she‟s now
 chomping at the bit to see you, it‟s your
 job to make the first move towards a
 first date both memorable, interesting
 and romantic.




                        Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
You‟ve taken an ABCs Bootcamp or
 attended and pre-ordered Gareth Jones‟
 iGame: From Text To Sex program, so
 you already know how to get a girl‟s
 number and get a date lined up (right?),
 so we‟re going to skip that part and get
 right to discussing the rules and
 guidelines that make a date good so that
 you can set one up yourself.
If you ask 1,000 women to describe their
 idea of a perfect date, you’ll get a
 multitude of answers.
                       Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
If you ask them to describe best date
 they‟ve ever been on, you„ll get even
 more; Some will say a guy took them
 rock climbing or some preferred a quiet
 date at the movies.
 I went out with a girl that said I took her
 on the best date of her life, and all we
 did was drink 2 Diet Cokes at the bar
 across the street and then make out on
 her couch for an hour before hopping in
 bed. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
                         Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
I can‟t design the perfect date for you (I
 mean, I can, but I„m not going to), but I
 can help you craft your own awesome
 date that she‟ll never forget by teaching
 you the three rules of first dates. These
 are rules to live by.
First Date Rule #1 is all mental, and you
 have to accept it if you‟re ever going to
 have a successful first date.



                        Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
First Date Rule #1: The Man Is In
 Charge. Period.
Now, don‟t get me wrong; this is not old-
 fashioned chauvinism. This is the only
 way to ensure everything happens the
 way we want it to. If we want to make
 sure we get to a location in a timely
 manner, we need to be in control of the
 mode of transportation, whether it be to
 drive or to research the transportation
 effectively.
                       Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
This is about being well-prepared, well-
 planned, and in control of logistics.
For example: If we want to make sure
 that place will be able to accommodate
 us when we do arrive, we need to make
 the reservations. If you want to make
 sure you don‟t spend an hour getting
 lost, either have GPS or printed
 directions. Common sense first date
 rules.

                        Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
Accept 100% of the responsibility so that
 if she offers to do something (foot the
 bill, get the drinks, order the deserts), it
 will not only be a weight off our
 shoulders, it will be a pleasant surprise.
When we accept 100% of the
 responsibility in arranging and
 executing a date, we are in complete
 control and being DOMINANT.



                         Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
Now that we‟re ready to design a date,
 we have to choose some things to do.
 It‟s logic. I say “some things” because
 one activity does not a date make. „Going
 to dinner‟ is not a date, it is going to
 dinner.
To make it a date, we must incorporate
 the second rule of ‘giving good date‘.




                       Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
First Date Rule #2: Dates Need
 Multiple Locations (i.e. Mini-Dates)
Take time out to plan several places that
 you can bounce to in the event that one
 gets a bit stale. So many dinner dates
 fail because the woman feels trapped
 while guys struggle to talk about all the
 things she wants to hear. At best, you
 have a great conversation and at worst,
 you both awkwardly pick at your food
 and wish you were somewhere else.
                        Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
I‟ve been there and it‟s no fun. You need
 to incorporate a few different locations
 (or activities) so that you can achieve
 different things on the date, not just
 talking and eating.
How do we choose the right places to go
 to on a first date? That is where rule #3
 comes in:




                        Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
First Date Rule #3: RESIST the Urge
 to “Give Bad Date”
In order to make sure these places
 you‟re choosing are date-worthy, run
 through our RESIST checklist by asking
 yourself the following questions, making
 sure that you can „resist‟ planning a lame
 date like every other guy.
The 5 Resist Questions you need to ask
 yourself are:

                        Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
Is It Romantic, Sensual, or Sexual?
First and foremost, dates are not
 “hanging out”, so let‟s not assume they
 are. Don‟t go to the places you go with
 your buddies when you need a cheap
 drink, make the effort to choose a place
 that is aesthetically pleasing and will help
 you create the story of a romantic first
 date.



                         Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
Maybe it‟s uber-romantic and has got
 soft jazz and candle light (good for
 strong connections), or maybe it‟s less
 traditional and there‟s rock on the juke
 box and kitschy, vintage colored lights
 (good for injecting some indie fun into a
 date).
Either way, make sure there is an
 ambience that is different from her
 standard trip out of the house, so you
 can build the connection and create a
 movie-like experience.
                        Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
Is It Entertaining?
When you go to this new place, will you
 have to be constantly filling time with
 questions and stories about yourself, or
 will there be times where you can both
 sit back and enjoy the environment?




                        Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
Whether it be a museum with interesting
 exhibits or an amusement park with a lot
 of things to see and do, make sure
 you‟re in a dynamic environment that
 can stimulate her senses and take a little
 of the load off your back.
Adrenaline is also a great addition to a
 date, so be sure to choose at least one
 location that gets her blood flowing, like
 bumper cars or rock climbing.

                        Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
Is It Simple?
This is the other side of the „Entertaining‟
 coin: You don‟t want an activity that is
 too complicated to enjoy. Playing a game
 of ping-pong is a fun activity that is both
 competitive and simple, therefore,
 making a great date activity.




                         Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
Entering into a Texas Hold „Em
 tournament might seem fun if you‟re
 both into it, but it will be a very
 complicated affair .
The two of you will be doing so many
 other things that you won‟t have time to
 build a connection. On top of that, you
 will sacrifice most all of the other
 elements of a good date location, as well!



                        Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
Can You Isolate?
Whether it be to increase intimacy in
 conversation (building deeper rapport) or
 pure sexual escalation (when the time is
 right!), make sure that your location has
 the option of letting you two be alone.




                       Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
Being on a date with someone that isn‟t
 enjoying your company is pretty bad, but
 being on a date with a girl who is ready
 to go home with you when there‟s
 nowhere to do it is even worse! Make
 sure that you two can get a little private
 time together, if need be.




                        Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
Is it Suitable?
This is a really important aspect of a date
 and fits in the VERY important category
 of “Calibration”. Is your date location
 somewhere you think your girl (or ANY
 girl) would want to go to, and is it even
 appropriate for a date, at all?




                        Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
Good examples of places that are
 suitable for first dates are:
Museums
Cafes
Planetariums
Amusement parks
Beach




                      Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
Bad examples of places that are NOT
 suitable for first dates are:
The movies (how are you going to talk to
 her?)
Family reunions (she„ll feel awkward not
 knowing anyone!)
Any kind of memorial (depressing!)
Or hit-or-miss options that she might
 REALLY like (in which case, they would
 be good) or might not care about at all
 (like a concert or art gallery).
                       Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
Hit or miss options are best saved for
 second or third dates, when you know
 the girl better.

Where and How Do You Take Her
 Afterwards?
Much like „Isolation‟ being able to extract
 from a particular location is really
 important.


                         Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
Whether it be to move to your next date
 location to jumpstart a fading night or to
 head back to your bedroom for the final
 element, does this place offer a quick
 opt-out so that you can move onwards
 and upwards?
Now that you‟ve begun to understand the
 important elements, you can easily craft
 a great first date yourself. Start by
 arranging a time and place to meet,
 discussing travel details and then choose
 your locations!
                        Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
A Few Helpful First Date Tips:

You only need a few good locations
 to make a lasting impression: Choose
 places you know well and control the
 variables of.




                     Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
Enhance your strengths to
 Demonstrate Higher Value: If you are
 terrible at pool, playing pool is not a
 good date activity.

Instead, head over to miniature golf,
 where you can teach her a thing or two,
 and look impressive while doing it
 (sorta).


                       Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
Always have something to talk
 about: Whether its writing interesting
 things down or practicing your improv
 and bantering skills, ALWAYS assume
 that you will be in control of the
 conversation for the first 30 minutes to
 an hour.




                        Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
Even if a woman is attracted to you,
 sometimes they‟re waiting for you to give
 them something to go on. So have a few
 conversation topics ready and obviously,
 avoid the first date conversation killers:
 religion, politics, and death.




                        Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
Get it on your terms, but be sensitive
 to her: When making the date, be sure
 to be in control, but also know that
 things may arise that you didn‟t expect.

If she‟s allergic to fish, swap out the
 sushi place to keep the date flowing
 smoothly




                         Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
Stay flexible: Along the lines of the last
 tip; having a plan is great, but it should
 not be limiting. If she keeps talking
 about how much she‟d like to see a
 particular movie that neither of you have
 seen, head on over to the theaters to see
 when it‟s playing, even if it‟s not on the
 agenda or the ideal situation. Your
 spontaneity will impress her more than
 the arcade you had planned will.


                        Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
Like anything, practice makes perfect, so
 be sure to refine and tweak each
 individual element, rule, and guideline
 every time you date so the next is always
 better than the last!
Good luck planning and executing your
 great first date!

  • 15. First Date Rule #3: RESIST the Urge to “Give Bad Date” In order to make sure these places you‟re choosing are date-worthy, run through our RESIST checklist by asking yourself the following questions, making sure that you can „resist‟ planning a lame date like every other guy. The 5 Resist Questions you need to ask yourself are: Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
  • 16. Is It Romantic, Sensual, or Sexual? First and foremost, dates are not “hanging out”, so let‟s not assume they are. Don‟t go to the places you go with your buddies when you need a cheap drink, make the effort to choose a place that is aesthetically pleasing and will help you create the story of a romantic first date. Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
  • 17. Maybe it‟s uber-romantic and has got soft jazz and candle light (good for strong connections), or maybe it‟s less traditional and there‟s rock on the juke box and kitschy, vintage colored lights (good for injecting some indie fun into a date). Either way, make sure there is an ambience that is different from her standard trip out of the house, so you can build the connection and create a movie-like experience.

  • 18. Is It Entertaining? When you go to this new place, will you have to be constantly filling time with questions and stories about yourself, or will there be times where you can both sit back and enjoy the environment? Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
  • 19. Whether it be a museum with interesting exhibits or an amusement park with a lot of things to see and do, make sure you‟re in a dynamic environment that can stimulate her senses and take a little of the load off your back. Adrenaline is also a great addition to a date, so be sure to choose at least one location that gets her blood flowing, like bumper cars or rock climbing.

  • 20. Is It Simple? This is the other side of the „Entertaining‟ coin: You don‟t want an activity that is too complicated to enjoy. Playing a game of ping-pong is a fun activity that is both competitive and simple, therefore, making a great date activity. Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
  • 21. Entering into a Texas Hold „Em tournament might seem fun if you‟re both into it, but it will be a very complicated affair . The two of you will be doing so many other things that you won‟t have time to build a connection. On top of that, you will sacrifice most all of the other elements of a good date location, as well! Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
  • 22. Can You Isolate? Whether it be to increase intimacy in conversation (building deeper rapport) or pure sexual escalation (when the time is right!), make sure that your location has the option of letting you two be alone. Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
  • 23. Being on a date with someone that isn‟t enjoying your company is pretty bad, but being on a date with a girl who is ready to go home with you when there‟s nowhere to do it is even worse! Make sure that you two can get a little private time together, if need be. Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
  • 24. Is it Suitable? This is a really important aspect of a date and fits in the VERY important category of “Calibration”. Is your date location somewhere you think your girl (or ANY girl) would want to go to, and is it even appropriate for a date, at all? Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
  • 25. Good examples of places that are suitable for first dates are: Museums Cafes Planetariums Amusement parks Beach Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
  • 26. Bad examples of places that are NOT suitable for first dates are: The movies (how are you going to talk to her?) Family reunions (she„ll feel awkward not knowing anyone!) Any kind of memorial (depressing!) Or hit-or-miss options that she might REALLY like (in which case, they would be good) or might not care about at all (like a concert or art gallery). Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
  • 27. Hit or miss options are best saved for second or third dates, when you know the girl better. Where and How Do You Take Her Afterwards? Much like „Isolation‟ being able to extract from a particular location is really important. Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
  • 28. Whether it be to move to your next date location to jumpstart a fading night or to head back to your bedroom for the final element, does this place offer a quick opt-out so that you can move onwards and upwards? Now that you‟ve begun to understand the important elements, you can easily craft a great first date yourself. Start by arranging a time and place to meet, discussing travel details and then choose your locations! Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
  • 29. A Few Helpful First Date Tips: You only need a few good locations to make a lasting impression: Choose places you know well and control the variables of. Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
  • 30. Enhance your strengths to Demonstrate Higher Value: If you are terrible at pool, playing pool is not a good date activity. Instead, head over to miniature golf, where you can teach her a thing or two, and look impressive while doing it (sorta). Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
  • 31. Always have something to talk about: Whether its writing interesting things down or practicing your improv and bantering skills, ALWAYS assume that you will be in control of the conversation for the first 30 minutes to an hour. Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
  • 32. Even if a woman is attracted to you, sometimes they‟re waiting for you to give them something to go on. So have a few conversation topics ready and obviously, avoid the first date conversation killers: religion, politics, and death. Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
  • 33. Get it on your terms, but be sensitive to her: When making the date, be sure to be in control, but also know that things may arise that you didn‟t expect. If she‟s allergic to fish, swap out the sushi place to keep the date flowing smoothly Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
  • 34. Stay flexible: Along the lines of the last tip; having a plan is great, but it should not be limiting. If she keeps talking about how much she‟d like to see a particular movie that neither of you have seen, head on over to the theaters to see when it‟s playing, even if it‟s not on the agenda or the ideal situation. Your spontaneity will impress her more than the arcade you had planned will. Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
  • 35. Like anything, practice makes perfect, so be sure to refine and tweak each individual element, rule, and guideline every time you date so the next is always better than the last! Good luck planning and executing your great first date! Find out more about First Date Rules for Men : http://www.abcsofattraction.com Copyright: http://www.abcsofattraction.com
