Remember that men like women with confidence. If you like who you are, they'll like who you are.
Step2
Practice being independent. It takes a lot of the pressure off of men to know they don't have to take care of you.
Step3
Don't play dumb. If that's what it takes to impress a certain man, do you really want him?
Step4
Dress well. Wear whatever you have on with your own style. Guys like those black seamed stockings and flashy high heels, sure, but you'll be more fun if you're comfortable.
Step5
Don't worry if you don't look like a supermodel. After all, you don't demand that the men in your life all look like movie stars, right? There are more important things. Give guys credit for knowing that.
Step6
Be engaging. A woman who is sitting with a bunch of men is intriguing. Those guys are sitting with her for a reason. Other men will want to know what it is.
Step7
Notice what a man is wearing and compliment him. Men often go to a lot of trouble to look good, but rarely get as many compliments as women do.
Step8
Don't drink too much. Your inhibitions will be lowered and you might say or do things you wouldn't normally do.
Step9
Be appreciative. Say thanks when it's appropriate. Smile when you say it. It means a lot.
Step10
Ask the man about his work, his hobbies, his interests. Listen carefully and ask questions.
Step11
Find out what he's interested in. If you can hold your own in a discussion on baseball, stock cars or fishing, you're in.
Step12
Be relaxed and easy to get along with. The more comfortable you are, the more comfortable the people around you are. You might not be the only one who's nervous.
Tips & Warnings
While you're busy impressing your man, don't forget to take the time to make sure he's worth impressing. It's a two-way street - you should both impress each other.

Honesty! I have to admit, people in general tend to have this flirtatious 'date' persona that they go into when they meet someone that they like. As a guy I can't say that I'm a fan of it. There's nothing more cringing than a lady who forces her laughter. I think having your own ideas and a driving force will help you in the long run. Women that have a passion for something is a big turn on. Honesty is the best policy

Why are you trying to impress a guy? If you are looking for a long term relationship then just be your self and let those who like who you are come after you. If you get a guy by being someone else then you are going to get very worn out keeping up that persona esp. if the realtionship is for the long term.

Living your life - It's easy to be obsessive about your guy when first dating. I always try to take a step back and put myself first especially in the beginning of a new romantic relationship. It's sexy to have your own life--it shows the guy that you are your own person. It also makes you independent of him--if the relationship doesn't work out--you still would have your life intact. That's important--putting yourself and treating yourself first--

This is from my own personal point of view (I'm a guy) of what I look for in a woman to impress me:
I like a woman to be modest yet secure within herslef, not loud and boisterous; not full of herself, to where she thinks the guy has to cater to her every whim "just because he's the guy, and she's the girl". I cater to whims when I care, with *reason*, for the girl! Not "just because they're the girl". ;)
I like when a woman dresses conservatively on all occasions! It shows that she's not *trying* to make others drool over her; but is confident and secure enough in herself to dress 'non ****ty'. It shows that she respects herself, and thus gives *me* reason to respect *her*, in return. It shows she's willing to be with *one* person (hopefully me), not *just anyone on the street* at the same time. *Trying* to impress someone makes one only look pathetic. Don't try, just BE! If you're not yourself, then talk it out with a counselor first, before attempting to be in a relationship with another person.
Honesty is truly the best policy. You don't have to let us know your deepest, darkest secrets just yet! That's left for when you're deep into a relationship to where you'll know it's the right time he'll accept it and still stay with you. ;) But be truthful about many important things that you KNOW need to be said within the first few weeks / months (or even hours, depending on how deep the secret is) you get to know someone, if you expect the relationship to last. If you're not ever honest with someone about a trait of yours that you're hiding from them, then they're only *partially* atttracted to you, not *fully*! How does that make YOU feel? It's similar to a guy putting on a mask of Brad Pitt and attracting all the girls, but deep inside he feels like crap for not being who he really is inside, and knowing the girls aren't crowding around him... for HIM! Faults can be worked out with each other, (and this actually brings two people closer together) rather than meeting "the perfect person" that [supposedly] has nothing wrong with them. When you let someone know of a fault, let them also know you're willing to work on fixing it; as they should do themselves, in return, as well.
I like a woman that can kid around when the time is right, and truly be themselves!
About getting your first date a gift? If it has to be on the first date, I'd do it after I talked with them, and let them know I liked what I heard and saw, and thus gave me reason behind my gift; it's better than the usual and shallow "Well, I'm *supposed* to get him/her flowers because that's just the typical thing to do". Getting someone a gift because you saw who they are, is MUCH more impressive, than just doing it because you think you HAVE to, to somehow "earn points" in some game. This is not a game, it's a possible relationship. That's no joke. :)
