Going on a
first date with with that hottie you’re having a crush on can be an exciting
experience. Yeah, a little nervousness is expected but if you follow these
simple tips, you are guaranteed to have a great time. Relax. You are
amazing
just the way you are, don’t put undue pressure on yourself because, trust me,
the struggle we show. Be yourself and know that he wants to be with the real
you. Dress smart.Don’t be tempted to reveal too much in your bid to impress.
Dress smart and appropriate. Don’t go over the top with your outfit, and don’t
under-dress either. Pick an outfit that makes you feel great, look great,
doesn’t reveal too much and is age-appropriate. Show respect. Show up on time,
be polite to the waitstaff, and give your date your undivided attention. (Don’t
worry. If you don’t hit it off, you don’t have to date him again. But while
you’re on the date, show off your social etiquette skills.) Turn off your
phone. Your friends and Twitter followers are not invited on the date. Let him
lead. If he wants to pay, let him pay. (Note: If you offer to split the bill,
be prepared to actually split the bill. Don’t play games.) Remember that he’s
likely nervous and is trying to figure out first-date rules, too. You’ll have
plenty of time in the future to figure out gender-role stuff if you develop a
relationship. In the meantime, respect his wishes to lead. Let him follow up
after the date, too. Be decisive. Hemming and hawing all night — “I don’t know,
what do you think? What do you want to do? It’s your call.” — isn’t attractive.
If your date gives you options, pick one. Be present. Show interest in your
date and be an active listener. Don’t let it be all about you. (If you talk
non-stop when you’re nervous, try to be aware of this and intentionally refocus
the conversation on him.) Address the elephant in the room. If something feels
awkward, if you wish you could take back something you said, or if your mind
just went blank and you can’t remember your mom’s name, speak up. By
acknowledging that your brain just failed you, you’ll be breaking the ice and
making him more comfortable, too. Establish boundaries. Be careful to not share
too much on a first date. This isn’t an arranged marriage; you’ll have second
and third dates to share more. Be clear about physical boundaries if he’s
over-eager. Don’t drink too much. A glass of wine is fine, but try to get to
know each other sober. You can always drink on your honeymoon. *fingers
