The Lean Casual Dating Checklist

Standard

Eric Ries once wrote a book called The Lean Startup. It was about launching a product and doing so as quickly as possible with the bare essentials in order to be successful. Well, I was reading that book and I actually created my version of that called the lean casual dating checklist. It’s pretty much a checklist of everything that I think is essential when it comes to both using dating sites and being prepared for sex at any place and anytime.

Here’s The Lean Casual Dating Checklist

Have Condoms
You guessed it. If you’re using a dating site or app then you need to be prepared at ALL TIMES just in case that one chance comes along where you can actually get laid. In that case, you better have condoms on you. Don’t ask questions, just go get some condoms. Simple as that really. Do it and come back and read the rest of this post.  (And also read the first date advice article.)

Clean Shorts
A topic that some might be too embarrassed to admit but you my friend might be the owner of some old underwear. In which case, you need to lose those things and pick up a pair of fresh undies to impress. If you’re wearing underwear that’s just completely raggedy then you’re off to a bad start.

Money
Even if you’re not paying for it, you’re still paying for it. Have some cash on you at all times. I suggest having a minimum of one hundred dollars on you if you want to be extra prepared. No one likes to look like a chump with empty pockets and it’s certainly not going to get you anywhere with the ladies.

Credit Card
Just in case you run out of cash, I’d suggest having a credit card on your person at all times. I can’t tell you how handy this has been in the event that I run into someone I meet online and they want to get a hotel room right then to bang. Be ready for it.

Cell Phone
You will, of course, need a cell phone to connect via your dating website of choice. If you don’t have a smartphone then I suggest you step your game up today.

Excuse
Lastly and I hate to bring this one up but you need to have an excuse. What I mean by that is that you need to have an out if you decide you don’t want to go through with the hookup. Make sure you have someone on the back-end that you can count on to relieve you of this.

That my friend is that short and sweet lean casual dating checklist and that’s all you need in order to get your hookup success going!

First Date 101 and Things You Want To Happen

Standard

First dates can be a bit nerve-racking, even when you’re using a casual dating app to try and get lucky. For many that have removed themselves from the dating game for quite some time, it may leave you, even more anxious. I’ve created what I call the  “first date 101” list which lists a number of things that you’ll want to be aware of a first date in order to help you focus more on accomplishing tasks versus being nervous.

First Date 101 Checklist

Here’s a simple first date checklist that can be applied to casual dating as well as mainstream dating. There is a stronger focus on casual dating here. Sorry, I like hooking up. LOL!

Make Her Laugh

Women like men that have a sense of humor. You need to be sure to try and make her laugh. This is a definite your first date 101 list and it should be included. Making your date laugh can help break the ice and put everyone in a calmer mood.

Buy Her A Drink

I know, it’s probably assumed but I’m going to mention it anyway. You’ll want to try and buy your date a drink. Alcohol can really make for a fun date so long as both of you don’t consume too much.

Get Her To Share Something

This is a checklist essential! If you want to get in her pants, you’ll have to get her to open up to you about herself. I always suggest trying to get your date to share something personal and each time that I’ve been able to do this, I’ve increased my chances of getting laid for sure.

Get Her To A Hotel

You guessed it right here! You’ll want to add this to your checklist, especially if you’ve got your eye on the prize and by that I’m referring to getting laid. Getting your date to a hotel will put you one step closer to getting laid.

Get Her To Touch You

I’ve personally had seen my chances of getting laid increase when my date is more physical during a first date. Getting your date to touch you should definitely be on your checklist.

Yes, I know that it’s a really short first date 101 checklist but I believe in focusing on a few important things versus a lot of the little things. Once you meet someone using one of the best dating sites for hooking up, line up a date and read this again before you go out with them!
