While there is no formula on how to have the best date ever, there are general truisms that can help you. So if you're about to jump into the dating jungle once again and feel that your moves are already rusty don't lose heart. The following dating advice for men will surely get you back on your groove:

1. Be self-assured. Confidence goes hand-in-hand with looking good. Relax and just imagine yourself having the greatest time of your love with a wonderful woman with you.

2. Smile and make eye contact . Give her a taste of your dazzling smile and knock her off her feet. Smiling will make her feel at ease and diffuse the initial awkwardness of this getting to know you stage.

Also, make it a point to look deep into her in eyes when you talk to her. Nothing says "you're interested" to a girl more than your complete and undivided attention. It makes her feel special - like she's the most important thing in the world. And it also doesn't hurt that this gesture will surely score you some good points.

3. Compliment her. Women like it when their dates appreciate the effort that they have gone through to dress up for a night out. Don't let her fish for praises. Instead, give an express approval of how gorgeous she looks. A flattering remark or two will go a long way in setting the mood for the rest of the night.

4. Mystery is the key. Never reveal too much information about yourself. This is not the time to talk about your Friday night sports and drinking sessions with the guys. Tell a little about yourself but make sure to keep her guessing.

Do not turn your date into a one-man show. Instead, take time to listen and get to know her. Ask her questions. Women love to share something about themselves. You'll get bonus points if you remember even the little things that she likes.

By keeping these tips in mind, rest assured that you'll make a positive impression. She will be telling how great you are to her friends and you'll surely have the second date in the basket.
