    “On a first date with someone we like, we really want - of course - for the evening to go well.
    There are many, varied bits of advice in circulation: don’t do all the talking; be funny and light; ask them about themselves; don’t pry; select a small, perhaps Italian restaurant; leave a generous tip; wear nice shoes…”

    This seems like good advice for making good friends too, being open and showing your vulnerabilities while also knowing how to handle them, being kind to others yet acknowledging their faults and accepting them. It's very insightful especially for someone (like me) who feel like you have to come across as this brilliant human for anyone to like you. It's nice to know that it is enough to not be a perfect adult but at the same time aware of what's expected of you. It also seems like a reasonable thing to ask of from other people in your life, other than just arbitrary rules about politeness.

    In order for someone to like you on the first date you just have to build a connection to them not just physically but also mentally. Good conversation is a must have for the first date because it helps you become a more attractive person. Being able to express your self without bringing baggage from the past is plus point to attract a partner.

      That means you have to get to know someone. Most people want sex on the 3rd date and a relationship on the 4th, without even knowing who they’re starting a relationship with. Most people don’t want to take actual time to actually get to know someone before jumping into bed/relationships.

    One shouldn't be too worried about making a good impression. Get deep with the other person by asking questions, and portray your own answers to these questions. Making a good impression should come naturally if you relax and take the date in stride, getting to know the other person. If you're thinking about them and how they're feeling, the way you're acting will appropriately be reflected and attractive if the other person is right for you. Whether you'd even be compatible with this person is what you should have in the back of your mind, as depending on your personality, it could be quite difficult to find a compatible soulmate.

      @@sebo641 That’s fair! I don’t remember this video, but I re read what I wrote and I stand by it in a general sense. I’m sure it’s tough to be autistic when dating. I think you need someone to be blunt and understand that you need someone to be blunt with you sometimes, when it might be unusual to be blunt for most people. Like if you end up going into too much of a conversation rabbit hole, you could have your date stop you and put in their two cents.
      You need that communication there somehow. I’m sure it would be helpful to get advice for dating as an autistic person as well, and it really depends on the personality of the person you’re dating. Whoever you end up dating long term will have to accept you for who you are, though, with all your quirks, including your autistic tendencies. You should be explicit at the start of the date that they can tell you if they’re feeling unheard or uncomfortable, and you don’t intend to be like that. Perhaps you can say you are autistic. If they’re too weirded out by that, they are not your person and both of you didn’t waste your time.

People who are blunt can come off as rude and most people with autism or who are autistic, have very poor social analysis skills and lack empathy, where they are blunt in a bad or hurtful or offensive way. So better they learn “empathy”.. hell, even people who aren’t autistic at all in this modern dogshit society need to learn empathy and compassion again. A lot of people in western culture and in this society really lack basic human decency and empathy and the skill to put themselves in each other’s shoes.

      i don't think i owe anyone explanation...but as you age you'll learn there's a huge difference between being a nice person and a genuinely kind person.
      if you're dating someone who despise your kindness then i think both of you got issues. give yourself a favor by finding another date. there's plenty of fish in the sea. life is too short for whining.

    • @BeautyAbExtra

      @rimiserk women despise weakness, not kindness. Many men conceal weakness with what at first appears as kindness. But women see through it quicker than you think.

      @Xpegasu 5 лет назад +6

      @rimiserk You are partially correct. Men must be better than a woman in some aspect for them to be attractive. However, money status and looks arent the only ones. Sometimes, for example, a rich dumb girl can get in love with a broke ugly dude because hes "smooth" (for example, my mother and dad haha). "Smoothness" in a way, represents his higher intelligence or maturity.

  • @crashbandicoot4500

    Ok so on this video there is mention of 2 techniques. The first is to show the not very attractive side of us but also show that we handle it in a mature way. The second is to show that we not only see the very attractive sides of our partners but also the unattractive. And to view them with acceptance. The core idea of this video is that viewing ourselves or showing ourselves to others the very fabulous can feel intimidating or untrue. So to also view the short comings and accepting them shows understanding and maturity

    Advice for men:
    1. Weight lift regularly. You'll feel great, be confident, have good posture and be fit over the long run. That shows.
    2. Don't take them on a dinner date for the first date. It's uncreative and an unhelpful and stressful format. Use your knowledge of them and your creativity to negotiate something more fluid and fun. Walk in the park, bar, art gallery. Have a format with flow.
    3. Learn how to flirt well.
    4. Get help to dress well.
    5. Shape your life into one that is fulfilling, or find the fulfilment in the one you have. Self confidence follows from that.
    6. Remember that (reasonably) irrational self confidence will get you laid, rational self criticism gets you nowhere.

    Recognizing our own failings/weaknesses is a skill few possess and even fewer pursue. Seeing people for who they probably are and being generous/empathetic with them regardless is even rarer still. I do these things, but I have historically chosen people who don't have the capacity to reciprocate. I'm doing better more recently though. Great discussion!

      @gnramires 3 года назад +2

      I share the ideal, but in practice that's not how we should see dating. Like in an interview, you're there for a reason: to understand if the relationship with that person is going to be good for both persons, if it will fit your visions of a good life. So you have to "make your case", show your interest in that person, talk about what you are most good at, and make pledges, so to speak, for a good relationship. You have to sell yourself a little -- why you and not someone else? That's not manipulative, it's just part of a negotiation we would need to do anyway, because there will almost always be other people out there, and we are forced to choose one person. Make sure to make this negotiation fair, representative and smooth for everyone involved.

    How to seduce someone:
    - Tell them you're nervous and instead of making small talk, put light on your failings to show them that you can accept yourself
    - Gently point out their flaws, and if/when they tell you about some unpleasant experience, use phrases like "I suppose you stayed under the duvet feeling sorry for yourself"
    Can definitely see how that would make someone want to have sex with you! Thanks for the laugh.

    Strong vulnerability and giving adoration, rather than needing adoration.
    That's why confidently saying: "I like you and want to take you out this weekend" is more attractive than saying: "Do you like me? Let me take you out this weekend."
    Never question whether or not the other person likes you, that's manipulative and none of your business. Only wonder whether you like them and act accordingly.
    There's no such thing as a person that can "get anyone". There are interviews with super attractive movie-stars where the actor/actress talks about being rejected. It happens to everyone, you can't control that outcome, and you don't need it to go well.
    There's no shame in rejection, only in covering up your feelings due to nervousness. It only takes a few successes to truly succeed, but that in turn requires a lot of failure.

    A truly inciteful episode, thank you.
    What I would like to know and possibly see in a future episode is, if you mess up on the first date - be it that you "over do it" and appear pathetic or under due and appear cold - can you steer the relationship back on course and what measures would have to be implemented?
    Any comments are welcome!

    *ADVICE FOR MEN* : don't just focus on getting her to like you, find out early if she's going to be reasonable and mature, or it's junt looking for someone to express her craziness. Women already do this very well by the way, they smart!

    Basically, view the other person as a flawed human being. And if you can still accept them then it's authentic. Don't put them on a pedestal where they are viewed as this perfect object of validation. It's unrealistic and unfair to both you and to them, and it is not authentic. Confident people don't put others on a pedestal. A confident person is self-aware of their flaws, or rather, neuroticisms and insecurities, but knows how to manage them. It is then expected that you can be aware of another person's insecurities with the understanding that they can also manage them well enough to be a functional person in a relationship. People want to be accepted despite their flaws. To pretend they don't have any flaws is not acceptance.
