Work on your time/phrasing (solution: get a metronome and listen to keith jarrett and brad mehldau). Harmonically (the notes you're playing), it's fine, but if you want to impress women, you've gotta have good time. Big points if you wrote that yourself.

I've never impressed a woman with my guitar playing (have barely had any opportunities to, honestly, I think the next date I go on with whatever girl will be to a park for lunch and I'll just play a lot of the jazzy pop tunes on an acoustic I've written over the years) and I went to a renowned music college for a year and practice literally all day when I have free time (every weekend, lol).

I bet if you do play the guitar in the park for a date you'll definitely woo her. I could be a lot better on the piano. I've only been learning for a year.

It's perhaps not a bad idea for getting your foot in the door but you'll need to think past that too. What else can you offer her as well as being a wicked musician?

At the moment I can't offer anything else but in September I'm starting a cookery course, so if the fates permit me success in that venture I'll be able to offer tasty food to a potential lover as well.

I couldn't get it to play. It said "download slot has expired." Perhaps YouTube?

Download didn't work, but anyways; playing the piano well impresses me. If I see a guy playing the piano brilliantly, my first thought is: I really, really want to play the piano like that guy.

It works in your favor that's for sure (unless said girl is hard of hearing or deaf o.O ) .

being good at something artistic is often a big help but seriously you don't wan't to be trying to "impress." You want to be interesting and atractive as a person, though appearance can help too. Humor helps.

One thing I've found women like is if you're not needy. Neediness translates in other peoples' minds to anoying and sometimes insincere behavior. Insincere because being needy means you're in the relationship to satisfy a need rather than because you care about the other person, or thats how its been described to me.

One way not to be needy: instead of asking a woman "do you want to come to X with me" you should say "I am doing X tomorrow. You should come. It'll be fun" and she declines you should say something that acknowledges you're going anyway. The lesson is that you're on your own little mission and it would be great if she came along but you're not so needy that it hinges on her involvement.

So how does this apply to this thread? Here's how; you have this playing piano thing that is important to you. You're not doing it for her. You play even when she isn't around because it isn't about her. You'll gladly play for her but you'll play regardless. Its what is important to you. Women like that, or at least the ones I have known. Even if this doesnt describe you, this is how you should come off if you really want to be attractive.

You're better off getting her to blow your horn, after you play with her bongos lol
