First date tips - Getting ready
Congratulations, you met someone you like (through friends,
online dating services, on your own, or any other way...) and
you are going on a date! Here are some basic first date tips to
help you to get ready to your date. Apparel is of course the
trickiest of them all, you need to look gorgeous, but as if it
took no effort to achieve this look. Well, I have to break the
bad news to you - no one can look terrific with no effort. Even
those seemingly slobby rock starts invest hundreds of dollars in
their designer's shabby jeans, and in their well-trimmed
bristles.
On the other hand, you shouldn't go over the edge on your first
date, or you'll send the message of over enthusiasm, which may
scare your date away.
So what to do?
First of all make sure you are clean and that you smell good.
Don't surround yourself with a scented cloud, but it's
definitely a worthy cause to use that expensive perfume that
collects dust in your closet.
When it comes to choosing an outfit, you have to follow one
basic - feel comfortable. You don't have to wear the most
brilliant and expensive item in your wardrobe. The main idea is
comfort, and when you feel comfortable you are relaxed and at
your best. Here's a tip to women: surprisingly, men usually
don't care what we're wearing: you are most attractive when you
feel attractive, therefore you should wear only the things that
make you feel this way, and not tiny dresses (or any thing else
for that matter) that might make you feel too self aware and
uncomfortable.
Finally - do not change anything too drastic in your appearance
before the date. Clearly when you got yourself a date, your
partner already liked the way you look, so don't try to change
your appearance in order to impress your date. Be natural and
relaxed and you'll be at your best.
