“YOU never get a second chance to make a first impression” may sound cliché, but did you know that during the first five minutes of meeting with a man, he has already formed an opinion of you?

    Many times we wish for the right person to come into our lives and we don’t understand why we can never seem to attract them. What exactly are men looking for in a woman? This is a question that seems to elude most single women.

    The universal feedback clearly indicates that the answer is actually quite simple. For a woman to capture his heart he wishes she would have these qualities:

    1. Confidence

    Not with a big ego, mind you. But to feel secure in who she is and to assume she’s awesome in her own right. That she would remain genuinely interested in finding out what is also awesome about the man she has just met. Confidence in a woman is actually very sexy.

    2. A tasteful sense of humor

    Not shallow and not laughing too often or too long at what may not be funny enough. Nor agreeing too quickly before he has expressed any actual points or ideas, either. And above all, not being sarcastically funny and making jokes at her date’s expense. She could just be sincere and skip the sharp-edged wit. A good sense of humor is a woman’s greatest asset.

    3. Being fully present

    Focused on what a man is saying instead of fidgeting with her napkin, her hair, or shuffling through other thoughts such as, “I wonder what he does,” “How do I look?” “Will he be the guy I marry?” Totally clear her mind and hear the words of the man she’s with instead of being mentally distracted.

    Look at him, really commit to listening. He could feel her attention, her eyes on his lips and her reaction to the words he’s saying. There’s nothing more romantic than letting the man she’s with know that she’s totally present with him.

    4. Having passion

    Passionate when sharing her ideas, her hobby, her job, her art, her family or anything it is that she’s into. It doesn’t matter what it is that she’s conveying. She’s letting him know what she wants in life and what she’s actively pursuing. When he hears her passion, he’s able to understand her better and also know that she will support whatever it is that he may be passionate about.

    5. Trust in her own opinion

    So many women form opinions of men they encounter by what their friends or family may think of him. Mentally inviting people to sit on the judge’s panel and perhaps disqualify him immediately after they meet is a serious mistake.

    It doesn’t give her a chance to get to know the real person he is. Many women have the habit of testing the man they meet on their very first date rather than giving themselves permission to discover what exactly they may like about each other.

    6. Being well-groomed

    She should take pride in every detail of her appearance, not just the clothes she’s wearing and her hair. Little things like well-manicured nails, oral hygiene, a soft and subtle scent instead of reeking of perfume. Most men notice all the little details and appreciate a woman who takes care of her appearance from inside out.(SD-Agencies)
