Dear m'lady, might I have your permission to please place my lips upon yours? No, don't do that. Welcome back to the How to Get a Girlfriend podcast. I'm your host, dating coach and author, Conal Barrett. I'm here to help you confidently flirt with women, attract your dream girlfriend, and do it all by being authentic. No weird pickup tricks needed. Thank you for letting me be your dating coach for the next 30 minutes or so. And let me make a wild guess about something. You want fun, sexy, flirty, great first dates, right? You want that conversation to flow. You want that woman looking at you, smiling, touching your arm. You know, when the moment's right, you want to know when and how to go for that first kiss, almost like it just happens.
And then the next day, she's texting you, hey, I had a really good time. When are we going out again? That's what you want. But I'll bet that's not where you are. I'll bet that the dates you do have, the conversation is fine, but it's rarely like on fire, really connected and flirty and fun. And I'll bet you know that you should make moves. And you might even know some of the moves to make, but you're afraid. Something stops you. You don't want to come off as creepy. And the next day you get either she goes to you and goes quiet or you get that next day text. The whole, hey, I just didn't feel a connection. That's very frustrating. It's frustrating to have a lot of first dates that don't lead to second dates.
And it's also frustrating because maybe you're just not sure why women see you as just a friend. Well, I have been there. Oh boy, have I been there. So I've been a dating coach for 12 years now. And I've also been on, man, probably a thousand dates. I estimated I've been on a thousand dates. But there was a time when I was first working on my dating life when I got really stuck in the friend zone. And I had so many first dates end with women just saying, hey, Connell, you're nice, you're funny, but I'm just not feeling it. And so I want you to know that I know how to fix this because at first I fixed it in myself and I fixed it in tons of my clients. So on this episode, I'm going to give you seven practical moves that you can use on first dates to make an authentic, real connection so that you can soon have women saying, hey, when are we going out again? You can get a really great sexy, awesome first kiss that feels very organic.
And so I'm gonna give you my seven best moves, my seven favorite moves to use on first dates to get out of that friend zone and make sure you have really good, fun, connected first dates. And make sure you listen to the very end of the episode because I'm going to give you a bonus tip. Let's call it tip number eight. And at the end of the episode, I'm going to share my favorite first date game that I've played literally on dozens and dozens of first dates. I don't mean playing games like in the deceptive way. I don't mean manipulation. I mean, actually a game, a fun first date game that I want to teach you. It'll get women hanging on your every word. And also it might get you some free drinks or she'll buy the next round. So I'll explain that one at the very end of the episode. So, uh, yeah. And of course you're going to be able to do this, not as some weird pickup dude. not some strange fake alpha male persona, and not doing it with like memorized cheesy lines. We'll be able to do it with authenticity and genuineness. Because guess what?
It's really true. Women like you for you. They want to meet that real guy. So let's get to it. Here are my top seven. First date moves for fun, sexy first dates to get you second dates. And these moves are in no particular order. I'm not saying they're ranked from best to worst, or I should say from best to seventh best. These are in no particular order. And here is first date move number one. This actually predates the first date. First date move number one is send her a fun, flirty message before the date. There's a line in my book, Dating Sucks But You Don't, where I basically say, think of your text messages with a woman as coming attraction trailers leading up to the main feature, the main attraction, the movie, which in this case is the first date.
