Vanesha– Do not ask me, my mind is stressed.
Mansi– What happened? Just tell me?
Vanesha– He was hot, good looking but the moment he started talking I was like Oh my God he needs to learn how to impress his date and also how to talk in English.
Mansi– I see, it seems like you met a charming boy but as he spoke the charm went away. Well, let’s see what actually happened on your date.
- So, here is again an English role play experience to guide you ahead in your journey of speaking fluent English.

Rohan– Yes..Yes.. I like it. Are you still studying?

Vanesha – Rohan, I meant I’m going to the washroom? Toilet? (Irritated)
Rohan– Okay jao jao ( embarrassed )
Vanesha – Oh my god so that was a horrible date experience. I hope I meet a decent guy next time.So, from this roleplay, it is clear that Girl was totally annoyed with the guy on the date and of course, it was equally embarrassing for the guy as well.

Rohan– Wow I must say you’re very lucky. We are a nuclear family. My parents had a love marriage. They used to teach in the same college.
Mansi– Wow, mine had an arranged marriage. So do you believe in love?
Rohan– Oh Yes I do…
And the conversation went on and on. So, guys that’s how you can make a good impression on your first date.
Conclusion
Regardless of how well you dressed up on your date, or even apply the best perfume you have but all these things are useless until you don’t know how to express yourself you’ll lose that opportunity of making your first impression.
Because when you are able to express them you’re able to impress. And that is what Vanesha did when playing the role of Rahul, by having a genuine smile on her face, talking slowly so that the person understands about my likes /dislikes. And genuinely taking interest in the person who you’re sitting with.
And one more thing – It’s not just to make the first impression but also maintain it as well through your time on that date.
All you have to do is to be yourself.
Pay attention to what you’re saying. Take a keen interest in listening to the other person as well. You can even talk about the person’s family, occupation or dreams indirectly.
You must always give your perspective and respect her opinion too! And if you don’t understand or aren’t aware about something, it’s always a good idea to ask questions. This is the best way to keep a conversation going. And while asking questions ask open ended questions that invite someone to speak – do not ask questions that make someone uncomfortable on the first date.
