First Date Tips

Kudos, you met somebody you like (through friends, online dating services, on your own, or any other way…) and you're going on a date!

Here are a few basic first date hints to help you to get ready to your date.

Apparel is of course the hardest of them all, you need to look beautiful, but as though it took zero effort to accomplish this look. Well, I've to break the bad news to you – no one can look fantastic without any effort. Even those apparently slobby rock stars invest hundreds of bucks in their designer’s shabby jeans, and in their well-trimmed bristles.

Then again, you should not go over the edge on your first date, or you will send the message of over enthusiasm, which might scare your date away.

So what to do?

First off make sure you are clean and that you smell nice. Do not surround yourself with a scented fog, but it’s unquestionably a worthy cause to use that costly fragrance that gathers dust in your closet.

When it comes to picking out an outfit, you have to follow one basic – feel at ease.

You do not have to wear the most magnificent and costly item in your wardrobe. The main thought is comfort, and when you feel comfortable you're at ease and at your best.

Here’s a tip to women: amazingly, men usually do not bother what we are wearing: you're 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 may make you feel too self-conscious and ill at ease.

Lastly – don't change anything too drastic in your appearance prior to the date. Clearly when you got yourself a date, your partner already liked the way you look, so do not attempt to change your appearance in order to impress your date.
Be natural and relaxed and you will be at your best.
