What makes for the best impression on you?

Someone who's interesting yet mysterious. Not too eager (evidently this makes people seem "desperate") but not too aloof. Well-dressed, casual, relaxed.

What makes for the best impression? What makes for the best memory?

Hahaha. I'm guessing first dates aren't really memorable for anyone?

It's been a long time since I've been on a technical "first date", but I'll take a stab at this one.

For me, I love the "fly by the seat of your pants" thing. Arrange for someplace to start and be completely open to see where it goes. I have found that you find out the most about a prospective mate that way.

I'm not into that whole "aloof" thing. But, then again, that relates directly to chemistry for me. I decidedly do NOT dig guys who play any sort of games. If you feel the desire to express something, then do it, and see where it goes. What's the worst that happens? You don't get a second date? So be it. I'm not saying that you should be airing all of your dirty laundry on the first date, for sure, but heck, to start a potential relationship with game-play? No thanks.

The best impression is how we get along together. It's not how he is individually, it's how we are together and the fun we have that matters. If he plays games and acts like he doesn't care, I'm out.

My most memorable first date was a simple one, a dinner and a concert with another couple. I don't remember the meal or the band but I remember the chemestry I had with the guy. We just GOT ALONG and had a lot of fun. It wasn't awkward in the least.

Chemistry. Sparks that have the distinct potential to ignite fire. That's all. If just happens, or it doesn't.

I'm afraid I'm getting stuck on the word, "memorable." I can think of dates I've had that were so completely awful that I'm sure I'll never forget them!

But, I assume you're looking to make the date a good experience for both of you, so I'd suggest that you just stay focused on her. Don't be leering at whoever happens to be passing by, and be sure to really listen to what she says. This may seem pretty obvious, but you'd be surprised at how rarely a woman gets a man's full attention. She'll definitely remember it!

Looking attractive always makes a good impression. Aside from that, being relaxed, open, funny, and chivalrous would be good too.
