So, check these psychology life hacks out. You will be able to use these in any social situation, especially your date!
Being ready for a date isn’t always easy. Have you ever had a horrible date because you did one thing when you should have done another? Well, these life hacks can do you wonders. You can also use these in any social situation to make sure you’re on top of your game.
1. Find & Make Eye Contact
Making eye contact (not the creepy kind!) may help you continue a conversation. In the case that you ask someone a question and it’s answered partially, you can just take a short while before saying anything. Stay silent and try to maintain eye contact. This will usually encourage them to keep talking again.
2. Pay Attention To Their Feet
If you can, try to pay attention to their feet. Usually if you are approaching someone and they turn their torso and not their feet, it mostly means that they don’t want you nearby or really be in the conversation. So, first check if their feet are pointed towards you, it may help you figure out if your date or even just a general person likes you or not. However, don’t give up too easily! There are a lot more hacks for the rest of the night.
3. What’s her eye color?
Don’t ask her what her eye color is. Look at her eyes with a soft gaze and compliment them with a smile. You can look into their eyes for a second or two. This will let them know that you’ve noticed them. You’ll definitely have positive responses for this. After all, it’s a well tried and trusted gesture!
4. Power of Security & Suggestion
We’re not saying to mind control people, but it’s nearly something like that. Just kidding! This is actually more for yourself. When you alter your own psychological state beforehand, you can usually have things go your way. Visualize everything that you want to happen in your date or your social situation. Will you give her a kiss on the cheek? Will you help her to sit by pulling back the chair for her? It may sound like something out from a movie, but building yourself up for a good date will usually end up in a good date. Use the power of security and suggestion on yourself!
5. Stir Emotions
No! Don’t create drama! But do remember that people will always remember how you made them feel. Plus, if you can, try sparking a conversation that will initiate them to share. People love to share a lot about themselves once they are comfortable. So, make them feel more comfortable by asking questions about them and what they do and what they like. Something along those lines should help you get to know a person or your date more.
6. Body Language
Your body language is everything. If you want to feel confident, stand up straight and don’t slouch. Keep your hands out of your pockets and hold your head high. This will make you feel better and the people around you view you as comfortable. You can fake it till you make it. If needed, wear something nice. This can help show you that when you look good, you’ll also feel good, so you’ll do good!
7. Confidence Is In The Mind Of The Beholder
This is somewhat connected to the above point about Body Language, but more on your speech in general. Avoid using filler words like “uh” or “uhm” etc. You can use short pauses to help you bring together your thoughts. This will help you seem more sure of yourself, which has definitely is a plus for anyone to have!
8. Build Trust
Building trust is actually easy for the most part until some people decide to taint it. So, to build trust with someone new, subtly mimic their body language. Perhaps you are talking to a girl, mirror how they speak and move, so they will like you more. Don’t act all girly just because they’re girly. We mean more along the lines of posture, facial expressions, or even subtle general behaviors that you think they have. This will help the person you’re talking to feel comfortable and compatible with you.
9. Let Your Happiness Show
Getting nervous is normal, but that lack of overall comfort that you have will definitely show. So, pump yourself up every morning, before your begins. This will get you through the day and will make you happier in general as well. If you need to, remind yourself that your excitement is wonderfully contagious.
10. The Power Of Touch
Before I delve into this part, let me make myself very clear. Groping is NOT the way to go. Obviously, don’t grope anyone.
By touch, we mean casually touching someone on the shoulder or their knees to help create emotional and physical closeness. This is usually done when you have moments of laughter, joy, or excitement. Touching, in these cases, can positively reinforce the bond between two people. If you feel like both of you or even just one of you, is uncomfortable at this point, communicate with each other that there is nothing wrong with the entire situation. Make the situation feel like there is nothing wrong because there is nothing wrong with either of your intentions. If the woman still feels uncomfortable, both of you should stop. There is nothing more attractive than a man who listens. And not just to a woman’s words, but also to her body language.
11. Chew Some Gum
This is the last resort, but it can be done when you’re not having dinner.
Chew gum! Through the study of evolution, human brains have evolved to generally not have a “flight” response when eating. So chewing gum will trick the brain that you’re eating lowering your fight or flight response.
