“Do you make and hold eye contact, and are you authentically smiling?” Anderson said. “Or are your eyes evasive and you look ill-at-ease? Again, the former signals confidence and the latter lack thereof.”
Nick Notas, a dating coach who works with men, also underscored why eye contact is so important.
“Looking into someone’s eyes helps create a sense of connection,” he said. “Avoiding eye contact can make her feel distant from you and set an awkward tone.”
Similarly, a warm smile can “go a long way towards diffusing tension on a date,” Hoffman said. “A smile says that you feel comfortable with them, that you’re having a good time and that they can relax around you.”
To make a good first impression, online dating coach Joshua Pompey of Next Evolution Matchmaking suggested “creating the aura of someone who is happy and excited about life” by approaching your date with a smile, enthusiasm and open body language.
“This will increase the odds that your date is instantly put into a positive state of mind as well, filled with excitement and positive energy,” he said.
