First Date Tips

Hello, friends! I'm sure that sometime in your life, you are going to encounter that wonderfully spectacular, yet horribly awkward moment known as your first date. This may be your first date in forever or with a new guy or girl, but we can all say that dating can be intimidating. Now, I'm not the love expert, but I do have some tips that I've collected from experience in dating and from other people that I would love to share with you today. 



  1.  When going on a first date, you want to look presentable, yet simple. Wear something that you feel good in, that's slightly classy, and super comfortable. If you don't like heels, don't wear them. Don't torture yourself for vanity. That being said, I wouldn't recommend bumming it. What you wear can be a reflection of who you are and you don't want to off put your date by wearing something too casual. A cute shirt, jeans, flats, and an accessory are my go to for casual dates. For something more dressy, I would recommend a dress and comfortable heels or flats. As for guys, I would recommend khakis or jeans and a nice shirt. Try a polo or a button down shirt.
  2. Girls,it's also great if you keep makeup to slightly above what you would normally wear. That being said, let's try not to go too over the top. Guys don't like it when you wear too much makeup. They think you're beautiful just the way you are. If you do feel the need to wear makeup, however, go for light foundation, a neutral eye, blush, and lipgloss. Guys, do with that what you will.
  3. Wear deodorant and some fragrance or cologne. You don't want to be smelling bad on your date!
  4. Keep your breath and teeth in check
  5. When on the date, don't check your phone to often. Even though you may be nervous, being on your phone when someone else is with you is not only rude, but shows uninterested in the other person. It shows that what ever is on your phone is more important than the date you're on right now.
  6. Guys: expect to pay. Chivalry is not dead. Be polite, courteous, and treat her like a princess.
  7. Just breathe. If you have any feelings of nervousness, that's completely fine. Expect some awkward silences. Just know that your date is probably just as nervous as you are. Be kind, friendly, and yourself. 
Alright, guys! I hope you enjoyed these first date tips and that you found them helpful. Above all of these, just remember to be yourself and that dates are meant to be fun. Get to know the other person! Enjoy!
