Going on a date? Looking your best you're all set to charm. Remember though that perfect dates are made of small details that get right down to the basics. Here are some absolute must-knows…

When He Compliments You…
Crimson face, disinterested looks--trying to cover up how good you felt? Learn to accept compliments gracefully. It is elegance and charm which define a lady so be like a lady. If your date compliments you on something, don't brush it off indignantly like you don't deserve it. Don't say things like 'oh it's nothing'. Of course you deserve every bit of goodness coming your way and if somebody has something nice to say about it learn to take it in your stride with élan. Learn to pamper yourself. After all the way you treat yourself is a direct reflection on how you treat others, right?

Even You Can Pay
You could drive a man away simply because he can no longer afford his dates with you. If he's on pocket money, his dates with you could be turning out to be a big strain on his pocket. Help him out by share expenses. Insist that that's the way you want it to be. Initially, he might resist, for he may be conditioned to believe that the man always pays (even though he very often can't afford to). Some gentle persuasion will help change his mind.

Body Language Rules
You may be the greatest talker in the world, but that won't get you very far with your date if you send him the wrong signals via your body language. Indeed, experts say that, more than your words, it's your body language that creates the most impact.

- Your eyes convey plenty, so maintain eye contact. The more you look into his eyes, the closer he's going to feel to you.
- If both of you are comfortable, you can hold his hand, or pat him on his arm. Your touch can make all the difference in winning him over.
- The tone of your voice also matters more than what you say. You may choose the most caring and seductive words, but if your tone doesn't convey those emotions, those words are of little use.

Talk, Talk, Talk
Girls remember it is ideas that are more attractive than people. So snap out of the habit of casting people in good and bad molds and discuss ideas instead, forget who proposed them. Your date is sure to be impressed with your grey cells especially if they dominate your thinking process. Discuss projects, assignments, almost anything to which you have contributed and watch your date's interest in you assume larger proportions. Clothes, hairstyles, gizmos are sure turn offs, especially if this is your first date, such topics only enhance in making you look like a bimbo.

Let Him Talk
No doubt you are dying to tell him so many things. Do so by all means, but not when he's talking. One of the worst things you could do to irritate him is to interrupt him when you are talking. If you keep hogging the conversation, he's just going to think that you are a self-obsessed woman who doesn't care much about the other person. And guess what: he would be absolutely right with that theory. For, by keeping on talking and not giving him a chance to have a say, you are showing your absolute lack of thoughtfulness for the other person.

Quick Tips
- Good manners are a key in ensuring that your date ends on a positive note. There is no replacing the demure disposition which marks the watershed between ladies and giggly girls.
- Dressing up for the occasion, wearing pleasant clothes and a smile will add to your charm and elegance which can never be replaced with all the tomboyish pranks or style.
- Courtesy and grace are known to have a tremendous magnetic pull even now `so don't' forget those manners.

Enjoy your date!
