How to be a charming woman

I am not writing this article pretending to be perfect, because nobody is. BUT i know the key personality traits and everyday actions that a woman requires to make men wish they could marry you, companies want to hire you and people wish they'd be your friend!

Take a look at yourself. How much time do you spend(if your a mother) thinking about your kids, husband, job or even household chores everyday of your life?How much time do you spend(if you are a teen or a young adult) thinking about fashion, shopping, t.v. shows, or boyfriend? After analyzing this in the most honest way possible, with no if ands or buts,you probably spend too much unnecessary time on things that are indeed important, but yet how much time do you spend on yourself(unselfishly speaking)and other issues outside your life?To be a charming, well rounded woman you need a lot more than good looks and a fancy wardrobe and i mean MUCH MORE.
Step2 You don't have to become Mother Teresa, but there are plenty of ways to get involved, do some reaserach! Be active! And with that said, i mean:
1)Join a gym and attend at least 2 days a week. I discovered Zumba and Yoga for example, which are two classes that are so much more than a good workout. Zumba is a latin dance class that teaches you in a fun fast paced way how to dance. Men love a woman who can go out and dance, have fun! It's sexy, attractive, extremely fun and brings out energy you never knew you had.
And yoga, what can i say...it's a lifestyle! In this class you release so much stress its amazing, you get in touch with your inner peace and become more flexible and tone your muscles at the same time without feeling like you can't breathe of how hard your panting or stressing your body out.

2) Do something(anything!)to help out the community. Volunteer, donate, learn and be informed because if you're in your house right now and have food in your fridge believe it or not, you are more fortunate than 80% of rest of the world. Yes, 80% of the world lives in EXTREME poverty. We are very lucky and should never take anything for granted.

Step3 Smile at people you see, it's contagious.If somethings funny, let it out! Are you a bit of a "potty mouth"? Try not to curse as much specially in public because whether you like it or not it gives people a bad first impression.
Smile! Nobody likes a serious old grouch, and I'm not saying to be a ray of golden sunshine all day long(because most of the time thats not possible)but just try to smile, think of positive things and take deep breaths when somethings been bothering you because believe me it can ALWAYS get worse.

Step4 Whether you do it at home or at a salon, it's a great way of feeling beautiful and surprisingly in control of your life! Now my last tips are mostly so you can feel better about yourself therefore achieving a higher self esteem, projecting positiveness and confidence. There is nothing more charming or attractive to a man than a woman who is secure of herself and has her OWN LIFE TO LIVE!
People want to be surrounded by positive personalities, so listen up!

1)Take care of inner self. By that i mean eating well rounded meals and not starving yourself either! Vegetables, meats(in moderation),fish, nuts fruits are all great feel-good foods!After all, you are what you eat.

2)Take a few minutes out of you oh-so-busy schedule for some YOU time! At home you can pamper yourself, take a nice warm shower, fix your hair nicely, groom yourself :) maybe even go get a needed manicure pedicure or haircut every once in a while! When you forget about yourself you slowly start letting yourself go and caring less about how you look when all of a sudden you don't like how you look anymore and your self esteem is down on the ground.

Note:
Be honest! It's hard to tell the truth all the time(specially to strangers)but believe me most people know when your lying and there's nothing worse than a liar.

High self-esteem is great! But don't let it get too high because there is nothing further from charming than someone arrogant!

Take care of your image but don't overdo it with the makeup because you don't want to pretend to look a certain way, when your completely the opposite. Besides, its not good for your skin!

How to Impress a Girl or Woman on a First Date

Every woman wants Prince Charming to sweep her off of her feet. You may not be anything from a fairytale, but this article will help you impress a special lady on your first date.

Step1-Ask her out, if you already haven't. A date does not have to be anything really fancy- it can just be lunch or a cup of coffee and dessert. Avoid going to the movies on the first date because you do not get a chance to talk and get to know one another. Offer to pick her up.

Step2-Once you have secured the date, start grooming. Wash your clothes. The date of the date, shower and shave. Put on some cologne and your fresh clothes. Make sure that you have some cash in your wallet for the date. Buy minty gum before the date.

Step3-If you want to go the extra mile, pick up a flower for her. A bouquet of roses may be a little bit formal for the first date if you do not know the person very well, and she may feel uncomfortable. However, a single rose will impress her and seem very elegant, classy, and romantic. Give her the flower when you pick her up for the date. If you are picking her up, clean your car.

Step4-During the date, be a gentleman. Open the door for her. Offer her your court. We're suckers for those gestures.

Step5-Before the date, think of a few things that you can talk about. There is nothing worse than an akward silence during a first date. Ask her abuot herself, and let the questions lead the conversation: Where are you from? How long have you lived here? Where did you go to school? What do you like to do for fun? Think of some interesting things to say about yourself that you can highlight. Don't gloat about yourself, but if the conversation seems appropriate, mention your good points.

Step6-Relax and enjoy yourself. Even if the date doesn't go well, you will have met someone new. You may even learn something about yourself. Only kiss on the first date if she initiates it. You want to keep her wishing for more.

Notes:
DO NOT make your date pay for her dinner/ entertainment. That will not impress her at all, especially on the first date. If you can't afford to pay for her, then you don't get to go out with her.

Remember that the first impression is very important. Brush your teeth, floss, and smile. You want to seem like a nice guy.

If the date seems to be going smoothly and you need to relocate to your place, make sure in advance that it is clean, especially the bathroom. Make sure the bed is made, otherwise she will think you are lazy... plus, you don't want her to have to worry whether or not the sheets are clean. You don't want to gross her out with your body hair that you shedded. Have wine and protection on hand.
