Executive dating made easy

Dating an executive is not as hard as you think. Picture the man in jeans and a T-shirt. Out of the suit, off with the tie, and he is just an ordinary person. A person who wants to let go in his free time and dive into another world. He has hobbies just like anyone else. When you date an executive, just be yourself.

Keep in mind, though, that you are dealing with an alpha. Executives reached their positions through strategy, hard work and/or sharp elbows. They see right through you easily and will certainly test you. You may notice it, or it may happen subtly!

My perfect executive date

This is how it looks for me, and maybe soon for you! The day has come and you are meeting in the evening for the first time. Dress so that you feel comfortable. If you dress up as someone else, he will notice. Adapt to the venue. Executives like women in dresses and skirts. They know pants and suits all too well.

If you are going to an Italian restaurant, wear a casual yet chic dress. If he invites you to an upscale place, adapt accordingly. Make sure the designer pieces stay in the closet. Otherwise you immediately give the impression that you are expensive. Good, nice, average clothing is appropriate. A discreet bag with no logos is best.

Keep your makeup subtle. Otherwise it looks artificial and put on. I always prefer a nice, subtle makeup look and a loose low ponytail or a nicely blow-dried hairstyle.

That way he will like you, and you will leave a good impression when dating an executive.

How to make the evening perfect:

  • Find out about your date. (Preferences, interests)
  • Dress attractively. (Less is more, spark the man's imagination.)
  • Pick conversation topics based on his interests.
  • Not too matter-of-fact, more personal and engaging topics.
  • A pleasant location that allows for a proper conversation.

What to talk about when dating an executive

Be curious and show interest. Do not grill him; instead, ask about his hobbies, what he likes and where he has been. Men love to be admired. Not in a forced way, but he will like a little admiration now and then for what he has achieved.

Tell him about what you do and what you like. I would, to put it mildly, firmly cross the word "shopping" off the list. Hold back on your biggest wishes in life. Talk instead about your hobbies and the places you have been. What challenges you professionally and how you want to continue your education.

When dating an executive, it certainly does not hurt to mention a language course you are just starting...
