Hẹn Hò Đầu Tiên Thất Bại Thường Xuyên? Bí Kíp Tạo Ấn Tượng Mạnh Mẽ Không Thể Quên

🧠 What Happens On First Date

The "Halo Effect":
First impression creates "halo" - nếu positive, mọi thứ sau đó được view qua positive lens. Nếu negative, ngược lại!

The "Primacy Effect":
People remember first things better than middle things. First 5 minutes và last 5 minutes matter MOST!

The "Similarity-Attraction":
We're attracted to people similar to us. First date là lúc discover commonalities!

The "Reciprocity Principle":
When you show interest, they're more likely to reciprocate. Energy begets energy!

The Follow-Up Technique:
Don't just ask questions. DIG DEEPER!
