How to Flirt with the Perfect Smize

Now that you have all read my last blog on how to meet more women, lets go over what you do once you have met them.

This is very serious because if you fail then you may fall into the dark labyrinth known as the friend zone.

Staying out of the friend zone starts at the very beginning. You want her to feel comfortable around you, but if you don't play the game at least a little bit she will only view you as a friend.

So to play the game, you must properly flirt. This is very dangerous because if done wrong, you may seem extremely creepy. Also, everyone has a different way of flirting. Don't ever change your personality when flirting. Be yourself still!

Even though every girl will be different and it's always a different game to be played, here are just a few tips on how to flirt.

Practice

Yes, practice flirting. Flirt with everyone and see what comes off as creepy and normal and you can get the hint. If something is creepy, then simply don't do it! Through practice, you will gain experience and

Eye Contact

The eyes will just about always speak more than the mouth while flirting. I am not saying that you look straight at her eyes the entire time without breaking eye contact! That is just weird and a little intimidating. Just make sure that you simply give each other that occasional look and then once you have good eye contact, then just give her a little smile. She won't be able to resist smiling back.

Then for the secret weapon. This is seriously lethal, so use with caution! The smize! Beyonce is Queen of the Smize! This will break hearts everywhere is you can learn how to properly use. For those of you who don't know what a smize is, it's smiling with your eyes. To do so, simply smile, then lower your mouth to normal position while leaving your eyes in the same position. This may take some practice, but girls won't look at you the same when you have a solid smize.

Listen and Participate

Girls are smart, that means you have to be to. They will see right through you if you are not listening. Don't let your mind wander and go somewhere else. Be involved in the conversation. Keeping conversation is one of the best forms of flirting.

All you #FutureHotDadsOfAmerica have been trained! Now go out and apply what you have learned!

How to meet women

You are out and about with some of your best buds and suddenly this girl catches your eye. Immediately you are smitten, and your heart sings majestically to you letting you know that you just must talk to her. You begin to walk over, but then what?? What comes next? How do I get this girl to talk to me? Here's the guide to introducing yourself.

First of all. Once you see the girl do not overthink it. React within three seconds and just go for it. She'll think you're soft if it takes you all night and she'll lose interest. It is the worst to be thinking of how to approach a girl and then have her leave, or another man who is not a Future Hot Dad Of America beats you and she is bored the rest of the night. DO NOT THINK ABOUT IT!! Train yourself to just go for it the second you see her. 

Now do not approach a girl from behind. It is creepy and the last thing you want is for her first thought to be, this guy is a creep. Do not EVER approach her from behind and then poke her in her sides!!! This is the weirdest thing anyone could ever do, SO DON'T! SERIOUSLY!! Some guys think this is flirty, but DON'T!

Also do not approach straight on, this can be too forward.

Simply approach the girl at an angle. She'll see you coming, but it won't be to forward, but just natural. This natural approach is exactly what you want. This will lead into a smooth conversation and it won't send off any alerts in her head. 


After you have naturally approached her, then comes the hard part.. Talking to her. 

Pickup lines seldom work. It is hard for something so cheesy to lead to anything real. It provides a quick laugh, but that's about all it provides. 

Start a normal conversation. This can seriously be about anything. Make sure to stay up to date on current events and make the conversation intriguing. Let the girl give honest and real feedback and then the conversation will carry itself. 


So now you have started talking to the girl. You're doing great! But now we do not want to get put in the friend zone! The key to staying out of this terrible labyrinth is successful flirting. When you are flirty, she will automatically think of you as something more than just a friend. 

So make sure to read the next post about how to properly flirt.

9 Tips for the Perfect First Date

Having a great first date is crucial in courting. There are a lot of little things that go into executing that perfect first date that will leave a girl wishing for a second. So here are 9 simple tips to executing a perfect first date.

1. Actually ask the girl out!

You may call the girl, or ask them out in person. Only that!! No texts, snapchats, Facebook messages, or any other social media medium of asking the girl out! It simply won't cut it.

Asking a girl out in person is scary, however, it is time to get over the nerves and do it. If you only feel comfortable talking to the girl over texts, how will that change on the date? Show her the respect she deserves and ask her out in person!

2. Plan the date!!

Girls do not like to be picked up and asked, "What do you want to do?" That is a HUGE turnoff and is not acceptable! Make sure that you have an actual plan and even a plan b in case your first plan does not go as expected.

3. Let the girl know what to wear

Personally I like to keep the plan a secret. It makes it fun for myself, and I like to see how the girl reacts to surprises and not knowing what is going to happen. However, girls want to know what to wear. They do not want to show up wearing something that doesn't fit the environment. Just the other day a friend was telling me about a date that she went on and didn't know the plan. She answered the door in a dress and light coat...they built a snowman!! This man failed to warn the girl on what to wear, and in turn did not get a second date.

So for example, if you are going ice skating, let them know to wear warm clothes, and probably high socks because of the skates. However, you do not have to tell them specifically that you are going ice skating, just make sure that they are prepared for ice skating;)

4. Pay

As a college student, "going dutch," is music to my ears! For those of you who do not know what that means, it means that you both pay your way. However when you ask a girl out, you are responsible to pay!

5. Be yourself

Relationships don't always work out, and that is fine. We should never change who we are so we can hope to have a chance with a girl. Being someone different will always come back to bite you. Imagine how it would be if a girl fell for you while you were saying that you really liked things that in actuality you despised. This builds a fake foundation and as a result there will be nothing to build upon in the future.

6. Be confident

The girl said yes to the date, do not act like she doesn't want to be there. I understand that at times it is difficult to have confidence. Listen to your pump up jam as you go to pick her up and keep those positive, confident vibes!

For me, I will be super confident the entire time leading up to the date. Then just as I knock on the door and start waiting, the stress comes! Waiting for her to come to the door is agonizing. "What if she forgot? What if I'm at the wrong apartment? What if she is hiding? What if this is just a joke and this is a guys apartment?" It's stressful and terrifying, however, none of that is important because life will go on! Even if one of those unlikely events are true, then just laugh it off and don't let that bring you down. Remain confident!

7. Think of time

Give enough time so that you can get to know each other, but not so long that you are both bored before the first date ends. There are a lot of variables that go into timing on first dates. Time may change depending on whether it's a group date or the activity that you are doing. Generally do not ever plan a first date longer than three hours!! That is super long and consumes a lot of time. Leave that to a second date. Generally a first date should be between one and two hours.

8. Walk her to the door, and don't kiss

This is the make or break moment to a second date!! Doorstep moments may be extremely awkward but they leave the lasting impression of the date. Attempting to kiss a girl after one date can spoil everything, so even if the date went perfect and better than any other first date, do not attempt to kiss her! You want the girl to want that kiss and that only comes from more dates.

This is where we must muster up the most confidence. Be natural and don't let the walk be awkward in the slightest. We must keep up conversation and leave the girl wanting to see us again. Look at her in the way that she thinks of a kiss, but don't let her think that you are going to try. Give her a hug, not how you will hug your sister or a bro, and not a creepy hug that lasts too long or involves a weird back pat, but just a nice affectionate hug. Then you walk away.

9. Follow up

Advice to all girls: If you enjoy a date, wait long enough for the man to drive home safe and right as he can think about the date, send him a little text. I promise this will bring a smile to his face! Throw the male population a bone.





Now men, if you felt the connection, ask her out again.

Simple Tips to Dress for Success

A few years ago I had a roommate who would always dress very nicely to school. One day I asked him why and he responded with the simple phrase of, "dress for success." Every test and quiz that he took he would make sure to dress for success. With a 4.0 GPA, this roommate of mine is getting ready to apply to med school.


Here are a few tips for the best way to dress for success:

Confidence completes the outfit

No matter what we wear, with the right confidence, we can make that look good.


Do not overdress

Often times we see people that have just dressed up too much. With so many people attempting to be fashionable this is becoming a serious issue. Peacocking is used in the dating world to draw attention. It may lead to a one-night stand, but no one returns to a peacocker. We want to be fashionable but not overdone. 

Look the part of what you want

If you are interviewing for a job, then dress as the CEO of that job would dress. Make sure to dress as the best person in that field would dress.

What is my style?

An attribute to Future Hot Dads of America is that they are always true to themselves. Often times we see people who have a certain style, but it seems to just not match their personality and who they are. One of the best ways to have style, is to match your style to your personality.

Use your style to show who you are as a person. One of our original Future Hot Dads of America, Miles Fawkes Anderson, constantly shows how to properly match your style to your personality.
Here you will find Miles in a complete outfit found at a thrift shop,
but looking as great as ever.
Miles loves to ski and play soccer. He is very easy going and shows that through his style. His favorite places to shop are Ross, Dress for Less, Plato's Closet, and any thrift shop. Miles commented "looking fly doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg, you just have to be willing to find gems in obscure places."

So as Future Hot Dads of America, we shall follow the example of Miles by being true to ourselves, and our style.

Are Future Hot Dads of America Chivalrous?

Many people lately have been asking about what it takes to become a Future Hot Dad Of America. This is a very hard question because it is not like you take a test where if you pass, then you receive a certificate and congratulations, you have the title. This is a very prestigious title of certain characteristics that elevate a person to the title.

I do want to put high notice that Future Hot Dads Of America are not perfect in the categories that this blog will feature, but they are striving and have the high aspirations of achieving such qualities. Being a Future Hot Dad is not about being perfect but rather about being better.

So for our first quality, Future Hot Dads of America are chivalrous.

"Chivalry is Dead" has become a very common and widely believed saying. Chivalry is generally associated nowadays with the respect that men show (or don't show) to women; however it is much much more than that. Chivalry originated with the noblest of Knights. The Chivalric Code was used by the Institution of Knighthood and Future Hot Dads Of America strive to live by similar principles as to the Knights of Old.

Old Chivalric Code consisted of items such as "thou shalt love thy country in which thou wast born" and "thou shalt remain faithful to thy pledged sword." Worthy causes without a doubt but as time has changed, a few updated bullets shall be added. A few items I would add are:
  • Thou shalt always open a girls door
  • Thou shalt pay for the girl on a date 
  • Thou shalt offer your jacket
  • Thou shalt respect everyone's opinion
  • Thou shalt walk a woman to the door after a date
  • Thou shalt say "thank you"
No woman while talking with a Future Hot Dad shall ever think that "chivalry is dead." As Future Hot Dads of America we strive to demonstrate to the world that chivalry is stronger than ever.

What gives Future Hot Dads of America the edge?

About a year ago a novice Future Hot Dad of America challenged me to a dress off. He had acceptable style and so I gladly accepted the opportunity to teach him a few lessons in style. Both being student leaders at Southern Utah University we were assisting an event on campus where we had to put on our finer clothing, providing the location and time to our dress off. 

My friend showed up with great style. Supporting a sport coat and a flashy bow tie, he looked sharp! However, I knew what absolutely makes an outfit. This is a new style that has caught flame and is now being used with Future Hot Dads everywhere! This idea is to match your socks with your tie. 

Without needing to go into great detail on what I wore, I have provided a picture to show how my sock and tie combo made my outfit pop but we will let you be the judge of who was better dressed this day;)

As well in the second picture provided you may see how much of a difference the socks provide to an outfit as two of us have completed our outfit while the other, who still looks good, just could have done a little more.

Why are dates with Future Hot Dads of America so fun?

As Future Hot Dads of America we understand the importance of respecting woman, because without them we would never arrive to the high esteemed position of Hot Dad of America. We must show woman proper dates where at times we can dress to the finest... And, of course when we dress up, we dress as the best!

Dressing to the best can improve when we ask that special someone on a nice date using this kinda funny, but extremely cute, tactic that the ladies love. Which is to match on nice dates. I have planned matching dates countless times now, and the girl always loves the idea! I am not saying that you match from head to toe, just that you have a cute level of correlation of one solid color or something of the sort. Plus we are the ones who truly benefit because matching only makes your best outfit even better;).

This picture gives two examples of how you can softly but surely match a date.

Future Hot Dads of America

I was sitting in a very uncomfortable chair with a desk at an unusual level on the bottom floor of Southern Utah University's library in a slick black suit that was tailored to me in Mexico about two years prior for the low price of roughly $100. In a covered panic I was rehearsing everything I knew about politics and all current events for I was about to walk into an interview with one of Senator and President Pro Tempore Orrin G. Hatch's staffers. 

Understanding that not everyone esteems politics, I will explain my nerves by stating that I was interviewing to intern with the man who is fourth in line to be President of the United States. I was more nervous than a fat man at the gym with a mind full of my deficiencies. However my one single SUPER HOT black suit and checkered black and white skinny tie provided me with the confidence that I needed.

With such style I was able to muster the courage in finding the skills that I needed in order to dominate the interview and leave an impression landing me an internship in Washington D.C. with Senator Hatch. 
It did not take long after being offered the internship to realize that my closet and its single black suit would not suffice in competing with the “suits” of America.  

Living the college lifestyle I did not have unlimited funds into an account that would allow me to go out and buy whichever suit I would like. So I needed to be as frugal as possible while wearing a suit every day that would qualify me for the prestige of the office where I would be working. 

Rapidly I started to look for the best deals I could find while not breaking the bank. Much to my surprise, the deal was found at Express, a much nicer store than expected. I found a deal where for every $300 spent you get $120 off. Soooo obviously, we did not spend one lump sum over $300, and instead we barely surpassed $300 with multiple purchases and then reaped the benefits of a great deal! This allowing me to buy two well fitted and top class suits, two pairs of slick dress pants, a sport coat, and multiple pairs of socks ($3 socks always barely put me over the $3oo for the deal) for around $550!! I know that is still a lot of money but compared to the $900 it should have been, I consider it one heck of a deal! 

These suits gave me an edge and a confidence that led to a remarkable experience and style that made all others jealous of the style and profession that joined my every step at our nations capitol.
Strutting the streets with such style I found better ways to mix and match my few suits with creativity and personality. Helping me to understand some of the most important parts of an outfit not only with suits but also with everyday attire that will match who you are as a person.
Future Hot Dads of America will show how to make the most out of your outfits while not breaking the bank. Featuring some phenomenal stores and other Future Hot Dads that have style of their own.
