Last Updated -1st October 2005
Make a Backup Plan
The weather can change quickly, restaurants can close for renovations,and your tickets can turn out to be counterfeit. Have a backup planin mind in case your date takes an unexpected turn.Plan a Short Date
No need to map out the rest of your lives together. Start with a simple,1-2 hour date. If things go well, you can always extend the date. However,there's nothing worse than being on an all-day tour when you realizedfive minutes into the date that you have no future together.Be Punctual
There's no greater sign of disrespect than being late for your firstdate. Get directions to your location, arrive early, and show your datethat you care about him or her and the plans you made.Agree on the Dress Code
When planning the date, talk about the dress code for the particularevent. It can be embarrassing if one person shows up in a suit whilethe other wears jeans and a sweatshirt.Compliment, But Don't Over Do It
A few nice words makes everyone feel special, but persistent commentsabout the other person's looks, personality, body, etc., gets old andcan seem desperate.Drink Responsibly
A few drinks may take the pressure off the date, but don't pretend you'reat a fraternity party. Drinking too much will likely bring out somebad sides to your personality and that can't help your chances.Balance Talking and Listening
Pay attention to the amount of time you spend talking versus listening.If the scale is weighing in either direction, look to balance it out.
What to wear on a first date?
Show your romantic side
Head-to-toe ruffles aren't necessary; a hint of femininity is. Pairsoft tops with structured pants or skirts; long, flowing skirts witha simple top. Pink is the ultimate romantic color (and it just happensto look great on everyone).Skip the sleaze
Dressing like Lil' Kim on the first date may get his attention, butit won't hold his affection for long. Instead try peekaboo styles thatdo keep something to the imagination: crocheted sweaters, sheer topsover a tank, slit skirts.Be comfortable
No need to hold your breath in tight jeans: opt for something with abit of stretch if figure-hugging styles are your thing. And stilettosmay look sexy, but your dogs will be barking in minutes if you go withtoo-high heels. Try leg-lengthening wedges instead or a sandal thatlaces at the ankle for added foot appeal.Reveal the real you
Whether it's your lucky charm bracelet or a groovy pin, let the realyou shine through with well-thought-out pieces or accessories.Simple ways to reveal bits of your personality:
- Wear your favorite color; hues tell a lot about the wearer.
- Don a sentimental piece of jewelry (your grandmother's necklace;your friendship ring from junior high).
- Dress in a familiar style (only a bit better). If downtown divais your thing, don't show up in Laura Ashley just to win his heart.
- Pass on status pieces
- Save your impressive designer labels for girls' night out. Rememberthat if you show up looking like too much of a fashion plate, he maybe intimidated by your shopping prowess (and start wondering justhow much money he'd be out in a long-term relationship with you).
Things that you must not to do on a firstdate .
- DON'T wear something you don't feel drop dead gorgeous in.
Wear something normal and comfortable for you, and you should feel finewearing that.- DON'T wear colored contacts on a first date.
What if you know the most beautiful blue eyes, and then you realizethat they were false? Not a good idea, just show what you are.- DON'T mention your last boyfriend/girlfriend six hundred times.
For that matter, don't mention anyone else of the opposite sex if youcan help it. I remember one of my worst dates with a guy who had managedto talk about four different women he implied were interested in himat the time. Needless to say, that was the last date he had with me.It just comes off as insecurity. If the other person is on the datewith you, chances are they find some value in you. You don't need topoint out the fact that you are, in fact, desired by all.- DON'T talk about yourself too much.
It's true that one of the best ways you can get some one to pay raptattention to you is to ask them lots of questions about themselves.It's amazing how well this works. Yet when you're nervous, you mighthave a tendency to babble on about your life endlessly, as you don'thave to think that much to pull that information out of your head.- DON'T talk wistfully about how many children you'd like to have...
It is is important to find out if a possible relationship candidateshares your goals, but save it for a few dates down the line, afteryou've decided that you might actually have the potential to get alongwith this new person. Just concentrate on having fun for now.- If it's a blind date, DON'T compare yourself to anyone famous, looks-wise.
Most of us all have someone famous we're compared to. Those comparisonsare obviously wrong. Most people look like a more slightly skewed versionof these famous stars. So proceed with caution. Unless, of course, youare drop dead gorgeous, then you can say the famous ones look like you.- DON'T check out other people!
Nothing is more that a turnoff than to be out on a date with someoneand notice him checking out the girl with the cleavage right in frontof your face! It might not happen often, and it's usually another signof insecurity.- DON'T drink too much!
No-one likes to see you get that drunk before they even get to knowyou. If the date sucks, then drink when you get home!- DON'T assume that he/she will automatically grab for the check.
No matter who invites whom, it's always a nice gesture to offer to payfor half the check even if you didn't do the asking.
