The secret to dating success, whether in-person or virtual
When it comes to dating and flirting in any setting, it can sometimes feel challenging to showcase your best qualities while being genuine.
Introverts who are in touch with both their strengths and weaknesses become more appreciative of themselves. Your self-acceptance will naturally grow into humble confidence, which is so attractive to women. That sense of ease and self-assuredness comes through loud and clear whether you’re spending time together on a dinner date, at a virtual dance party, or wearing masks at a board game tournament! True confidence is within reach no matter where or how you date when you follow a proven plan made specifically for introverted men like you! That’s why we created this free 22-page ebook (with a super helpful exercise on page 8!): to show you how embracing what makes you you is the key to successful dating.

Connect with women virtually
Many women are now on dating apps who you would have loved to meet pre-Covid but who maybe didn’t think that online dating was for them.
Now it’s for everyone who is single! Here’s how you can take your online dating apps to the next level now, since many women are excited to meet you across various platforms!
Before you get started, improve your online dating profile
When it comes to online dating, your profile is your first impression!
Make sure you are putting your best foot forward by taking a look through your current bio, answers to question prompts, and photos.
If you have a trusted family member or friend, you can invite them over for dinner and a movie, open a bottle of wine or pour a cup of tea, and ask them to give you their honest feedback.

Go on virtual dates
One hidden benefit of a FaceTime or Zoom date is that you can prepare in advance! By preparing thoughtfully for your date, you can become free to simply relax and build a connection through your words and presence on video.
There are 3 key ways to prepare well. Let’s get into them!
- Be sure that your environment is ready with…
- A clean, uncluttered background,
- Neat grooming, and
- Flattering lighting.
- Prepare some topics you want to talk about with her like…
- Anything from her profile that caught your interest,
- What she was up to that day,
- A treat that you cooked or ate recently,
- Fun places you’ve traveled to or want to visit,
- Something that you’ve done that she’d find interesting, or
- A movie, documentary, show, or podcast that you like.
- Finally, be ready to build chemistry with her through these wonderful actions:
- Complimenting her genuinely,
- Expressing that you’d like to see her again, and
- Letting yourself smile and showing enjoyment of her throughout the date.

Connecting with women safely in-person
The most important part of in-person dating during Covid is to get a feel for the other person’s boundaries and preferences as they work to reduce risk of exposure.
If your comfort level is different from one another, make sure that the least comfortable person’s desires are respected until more comfort is established.
Build chemistry with or without touch
Here’s how to flirt in this season of life:
- Enjoy the experience of getting to know her.
- Chat about surface and deeper topics to have a robust experience of each other.
- Bring a positive, pleasant, genuine spirit when getting to know someone new.
- Genuinely, naturally compliment her (both internally and externally).
- Tell her you can’t wait to hug her once it’s safe to do so.
- Express your interest, attraction, and enjoyment of her to build chemistry.
Some ideas for in-person dates during Covid
While talking about what you both feel comfortable with matters on the first date, it’s important to continue the conversation afterwards since your comfort level might change (in a happy way!) as you spend more time together.
Here are some fun date night ideas that allow you to connect while social distancing in smaller or private environments:
- Play video games (you could also do this virtually!)
- Walk around your local park
- Take a virtual cooking class
- Get (or make) dinner and see (or stream) a movie
- Play a new game (Exploding Kittens has some fun options!)
- Sign up for an escape room or host a murder mystery party
As long as the tone is one of respect and consideration, with clear requests and open communication, you’re setting the relationship up for success!
