I wonder if my make-up is ok. What will I say to him? Carefully, I stepped out of my car as my date made his way over to me.
“I’ve got you something,” he greeted me with a huge smile on his face. “Something every girl secretly longs for (渴望).” Standing in front of me, he slid something into my hand. I looked down to find candy — but not just any candy — A Sugar Daddy!
I relaxed immediately. This was the funny man I had been talking to. Little did he know, my secret longing was really to make a good impression on him.
A good first impression is important. So, how do you, when you’re meeting someone for the first time, make certain he or she doesn’t get the wrong image of you?
A study concluded that the first 30 seconds make or break the connection between two people when they meet for the first time. Another study conducted by UCLA found that “people evaluate one another by using the three V’s: visual (appearance), vocal (voice) and verbal (what you say).”
Before you head out on your next date to meet someone new, let’s concentrate on these areas:
●How others will see you. (Visual) Are you dressed well? Do you look like this date is important to you? Did you take some time with your appearance? Watch your manners: people don’t like bad manners.
●How others will hear you. (Vocal) Is your voice too soft? You might come across as insecure. If you speak softly, make an effort to speak clearly — don’t make your date have to work to hear you.
●What others will hear you say. (Verbal) People have a natural desire to connect — let them know you’re interested in what they have to say by repeating it back to them. Don’t say the same thing everyone else is saying.
