Just because your a bachelor, doesn’t mean you can’t be a gentleman. If your going to be a bachelor, you should be the best damn bachelor you can be (this doesn’t mean join the army for those slower bachelors out there). Looking good only does so much until you open your mouth and let out a belch that will shake the earwax out of your date’s or future date’s ears (hopefully there isn’t earwax, but you can see where I’m going with this…)
So I’m going to school you on some simple bachelor etiquette that should help you close the deal (na-mean, na-mean).
1. When you pick her up don’t text her and say “I’m here.”
2. That’s fine when your picking up your homies to go on your bro-date but not when your trying to convince a girl that she won’t be wasting the next few hours with you.
3. Once you get to the restaurant pull her chair out for her. It’s a nice gesture that says “Sit down and enjoy this meal with me.” It will make her think your trying to do more than get into her pants (even though I’m sure you do).
4. Your not out on your bro-date, so start a conversation about something other than sports, booze, and how you just beat your prior kill streak on COD. Trying to sound intelligent can’t hurt either. I’m not telling you to sound like Einstein or pull some Shakespeare out of your ass, but try and have a somewhat stimulating conversation.
5. As previously mentioned, burping is a no-no. She isn’t going to be impressed that you can belch the alphabet because I’m sure her younger brother can, so don’t bother bringing that up either. This goes hand-in-hand with chewing with your mouth closed. She can see your food on your plate, she doesn’t need to see it in your mouth.
Simple right? I tell no lies. Hopefully you were a polite but not boring bachelor and you’ve managed to score a second date. If not, then stop and pick up a 6-pack on your way home and drink it off. There’s always next time, and practice makes perfect right?
