How to make a good impression

MMMhmmmmm....I know what ur thinking but this is not a post of professional self help.Its just based on my opinion of what and how v should manage ourselves to make a good and lasting impression on ppl we v would want to impress=)

1.Dress up
Honestly, no matter how many times u see this as the number one rule of making an impression, most of us simply don't care. I know how tempting and comfy it is to simply put on an old shirt and shorts with slippers to go watch a movie with a date. However, this has hidden consequences. You don't have to dress up like a drama queen...but you do need to dress the part to look like you respected your date. Nobody likes it when their partners look like a rag when they go out in a public.
But of course, if u were just going around the corner to have a cup of tea,for Lord's sake do not dress up like you're going to party all night.
Or when ur going to college, dress up comfortably but not too outrageous.Ur there to get an education, not to parade ur wardrobe.

2. Listen more, speak Less.


Nobody likes someone that hogs the conversation. Dude, listen to ur partner more. They're more likely to let u understand better about them if u listen and keep ur trap shut for a while. You'll get ur chance to talk soon enough.


3.Say nice things, do not complain.

Needless to say, v always need to say something witty and sarcastic once in a while to get our points across but it would be much nicer to have someone that doesn't swear or say foolish things when we are with them.

4. Keep eye contact

Our eyes are the windows to our souls. Ppl who avert their eyes when carrying a conversation is not only rude but also seen as insincere. Of course, ur not supposed to stare either. Proper eye contact is the key especially if ur partner is making a point.

5. Always Smile because it is contagious

A smile is our best asset. Always show ur pearly whites and be polite. U'll not go wrong that way. Or if all the above is hard for u to work on then u should have a nice smile as that will already earn u half a good impression=)

Until the next post, Sayonara my dear readers.
