Making the first move

Despite moves towards gender equality in many areas, one quarter of women are still unwilling to make the first move when they meet someone they are attracted to (25%), according to a new survey from the makers of the Dentyl Active mouthwash range.

Furthermore, just four per cent of women say that they always make the first move if they see someone they fancy, compared to 10 per cent of men.

There’s no doubt that making the first move is nerve-wracking, but it’s not just women who find it difficult. Many men will also struggle when it comes to summoning the courage to make a first move, whether it be starting up conversation, asking someone out or moving in for the first kiss.

This is one of the reasons why online dating can be so valuable. It’s easy to hide behind the computer when reaching out to new people. You can confidently plan what to say to avoid tripping over your words; if you do receive any less-than-positive reactions, they will be toned down by the virtual distance; and it’s easy to put tentative winks out to people without having a full game plan in mind.

Another important confidence-booster when it comes to making the first move comes from the Dentyl Active range. When you do meet someone you find attractive, face to face, you can have the confidence that your breath is blissfully fresh for up to 18 hours.

KISS & TELL: The Dentyl Active range of mouthwashes is scientifically tested to kill and remove oral bacteria, leaving teeth and gums protected for up to 18 hours so that your breath is sweet and fresh…and you are ready to get up close and personal.

SAY HELLO TO DENTYL ACTIVE – SHAKE IT. SEE IT. FEEL IT. ®

The Dentyl Active range of alcohol free mouthwashes contain antibacterial ingredients – natural essential oils and Cetylpyridinium Chloride – CPC. Both ingredients, which have to be shaken together before swilling the mouthwash around the mouth, are proven to ‘bust’ oral bacteria which cause nasty breath. The bacteria and debris then stick to the clever mouthwash solution. When you rinse Dentyl Active out from the mouth you can see the bacteria, food debris and other deposits, removed and highlighted as small, brightly coloured masses in the sink. Now that’s just plain smart thinking from Dentyl Active!
