10 First Date Mistakes Men Make – According to SirSquirt

Think she ghosted you because of “timing”?
Nah. She just didn’t feel it.

And chances are… you made one of these mistakes.

1. Being “Nice” Instead of Real
   You were polite, agreeable, and totally forgettable. You’re not applying for a babysitting job — you’re creating attraction.
   Instead: Be warm, but bold. Say what you really think — with a smile.
   
2. Over-Planned, Over-Serious, Overkill
   You don’t even know if she likes dogs yet.
   Instead: Keep it light. One location. One drink. One spark. Let the vibe decide the rest.
   
3. Talking About Yourself for 20 Minutes Straight
   You’re not impressing her. You’re losing her.
   Instead: Share stories with questions baked in. Get her talking. Curiosity builds chemistry.
   
4. Being Afraid to Flirt
   You looked friendly. Like a tax advisor.
   Instead: Eye contact, subtle touch, a well-placed compliment. She came to feel something.
   
5. Bragging About Money, Cars, or Status
   You’re selling. She’s not buying.
   Instead: Let her be surprised by your success — not bludgeoned by it.
   
6. Getting Wasted
   Getting tipsy screams insecurity.
   Instead: Drink with control. Stay one drink behind. Masculine energy is best when grounded.
   
7. Asking Generic Questions
   She’s answered “What do you do?” 27 times this week.
   Instead: Ask questions that make her feel alive. Be different.
   
8. Being Too Eager to Impress
   You think she wants effort. She wants essence.
   Instead: Relax. You are the favor. Own your space. Invite her in.
   
9. Not Leading
   Indecision is unattractive.
   Instead: Have a plan. Say “Trust me, you’ll like this place.” Confidence is clarity.
   
10. Not Making a Move
    Handshake. Side hug. You left her wondering.
    Instead: Read the moment. If the spark is there, act. And if it’s not — end with presence and respect.
