Tough Love #1: How to Create A Positive First Impression

Steve Ward and his mother JoAnn have done something pretty amazing. 

They’ve been able to take a reality show and not only make it entertaining, but also educational in many ways. The balance of drama and personal growth is something you rarely see in reality TV these days.

And it’s important to have shows like these on the air because it’ll continue to build awareness of how to carry yourself in this new digital age.

Now, let’s talk about first impressions.

I saw this in my Twitter stream and had to share it with you. There are too many people that TALK about what they're going to do. I don't listen to them until I see them actually DOING it.

If you're not happy with your love life, it's not enough to just talk about how you WANT things to be different.

Step up. Take action. Make it happen.

If you want more inspiration like this, be sure to follow my friend and history-making matchmaker, Paul Carrick Brunson on Twitter.

"Get recjected every chance you get."

While my clients are focued on being more successful in attracting women, I always encourage to push themselves as hard as they can.

Things are going well? Keep pushing forward.

The trouble with this concept is some people haven't had enough success in their lives to take those kinds of risks.

How About We Date In Front of A Webcam?

The beginning of a beautiful relationship?On Monday, I had the privilege to not only watch two people go on a first date, but also give social commentary, through an online chat room.

For those who weren't around to see, I had polarizing comments for James and Bianca.

I thought Bianca was very open and pretty much the perfect example of how a woman should show interest to a man.

On the other hand, James was awkward, couldn't hold eye contact, seemed very nervous and didn't initiate any contact until well after an hour -- where he got a high-five.

Appearances are very deciving so let's talk about some of the factors that played a role and then give some tips.

Every Wednesday I will share a thought, message or quote that will be not only applicable in your dating life but also every other aspect of your life.

I had the pleasure of talking with Judi Huck, Community Manager of Producteev, an online task management tool.

We talk about if flirting had a to-do list, what it would look like. So after talking about video games, racing and boss battles, we finally came up with a solid list of things that I feel will help you.

Thanks to Judi for the write up.

P.S. If you need a task management tool, I've been using Producteev for months for me and my team and it's honestly the best I've ever used.

Tip Tuesday: The First Date

Don't mind if I do.Every Tuesday, we ask people from Team Wingman & Twitter what they would like me to talk about. It could be a general topic or a direct question. I’ll choose the best one and later that day, I’ll write something and give tips addressing that topic or question.

"Question: Got any advice for a first date?" 

This what I said in 140 characters on Twitter [follow me]:

It's pretty straightforward but I'll break each point down a little more.

Monday Maverick: People Watch

"Observing the people around you."

If you know me, you know I am a big fan of practice over reading. You just can't replace that kind of real-world experience.

It's the reason why companies prefer people who have already worked in their industry. Why hire a rookie when you can hire a seasoned veteran?

At the same time, I get it. It's not that easy to just go out there and do whatever it is you're supposed to be doing...

Truth of the matter is, most people don't know what they need to do in order to improve their social skills. This is why most people lean toward reading -- to gain understanding and knowledge and feel better about what they're trying to do.
