英語資源頻道為大家整理的雙語新聞報道：5個超實用的約會指南，供大家閱讀參考。
I used to be so shy that speaking to girls made me break out in a sweat. It was so bad that if I as much as opened my mouth to say, “Hi,” my vocal pitch went up several octaves. As you can imagine, this didn’t exactly help me woo the ladies
過去的我非常害羞，跟女孩子說話我都緊張到冒汗。非常糟糕的是，如果我盡量多開口向女孩子打招呼，在“嗨！”這個詞的發(fā)音上，我的音調(diào)升高了好幾個八度?？梢韵胂?，這無助于我追求女士。
My troubles were a symptom of a common problem shared by many guys like you: I wasn’t confident in myself. Know the feeling? Let’s give your confidence (and dating life) a helpful shove in the right direction. This is how to ask a girl out and get a yes (almost) every time.
我的麻煩正如許多人分享出來的共同問題，可能你也遇到過：我對自己不夠自信，了解這種感覺嗎？讓我們在增強你的自信（以及你的約會生活）方面朝正確方向引導一下并助你一臂之力。
1. Ground Rules
基本規(guī)則
1) Your Posture Should Scream Confidence
擺正身姿增強自信
Most men guarantee a rejection before they even open their mouth because their appearance does not express confidence. Here are some simple cues to help you remember the do’s and don’ts of posture.
大部分男性甚至在開口約會之前就絕對會被拒，因為他們的外在姿勢表現(xiàn)得不夠自信。下面一些簡單的提示幫助你記住該擺的姿勢和不該擺的姿勢。
Do not: 不要
Stare at the ground 低頭盯著地面看 Cross your legs/arms 胳膊/腿呈交叉姿勢
Slump your shoulders 肩部向下耷拉 Fidget 坐立不安
Do: 要
Keep your chin up 仰首挺胸 Gaze forward 目視前方
Shoulders down and back 肩部向后挺直 Chest high 挺胸收腹
When in doubt, think about how much space you are taking up. Is it a lot, or a little? If you’re not taking up much space, it’s possible you are curled up in a sad little ball (which just doesn’t make you look confident). Take up as much space with your body as you can to reflect that you are comfortable in your body.
對自己的姿勢不確定的時候，想想自己占了多大空間，占的空間大還是小？如果你占的空間不大，可能是你把自己縮成一團的狀態(tài)（讓你看起來顯得不夠自信）。你的身體盡量多占空間說明你的身體處于一種很舒服的狀態(tài).
2) The Clothes Make the Man
人靠衣裝馬靠鞍
No, you don’t have to be donned in a freshly tailored suit when you ask a girl out. But that doesn’t mean you should look like a slob either. Dress in whatever style fits your personality, but keep it classy. No wrinkled tees, dirty shoes, or other fashion disasters allowed. Don’t sweat the specifics, but whatever you do, dress like the handsome and polished fella you are.
不，你不必在與女孩約會時非得穿新的定制西裝，但也不要穿得像個懶漢。穿適合自己個性風格的衣服又要保持優(yōu)雅的穿衣風格。不能穿皺巴巴的T恤、臟兮兮的鞋子或其他毀掉時尚的衣服。不要刻意打扮，但無論你穿什么，都要把自己打扮得有英俊瀟灑小伙子的范兒。
2. Gauging Interest
衡量興趣
1) Engage Eye Contact
眼神接觸
If a coffeehouse cutie catches your eye, shoot a few harmless glances in her direction. Linger for a brief moment before turning your attention elsewhere, but don’t voyage beyond the five second mark unless you want to be labeled a creeper. If she returns your gaze with a smile, this is a good sign that the feeling might be mutual.
如果咖啡館美女吸引了你的眼球，朝她友好地瞄幾眼，停留片刻多看幾眼，但不要超出五秒，否則會被貼上一個大色狼的標簽。如果她對你回眸一笑，這是個好兆頭，這種感覺可能是相互的。
2) Do Not Confuse Kindness with Attraction
善良和吸引力不要混為一談
Just because a woman smiles at or talks to you, does not mean she wants to take your friendship to the next level, so don’t get your hopes up without good reason. Not sure if a friend likes you or not? Ask her out and if she says, “What, like a date?” reply, “Yes!” without hesitation. Confidence is sexy (and even if she says, “No,” at least you’ll know for sure).
僅僅因為一位女性對你微笑或和你說話，并不代表她想要把你們的朋友關系發(fā)展到下一步，所以沒有充分的理由不要抱太大的希望。如果不確定人家喜不喜歡你，那你就可以約她出來，如果她說，“怎么，是約會的那種么？”你就不要猶豫回答：“是的！”自信是很性感的（即使她拒絕，至少你會得到確定性的答復）。
