Are you planning to go on a first date soon? If yes, then you must be juggling with nerve-wracking doubts and dilemmas. Should you wear that short silk dress, or should you mention your past relationships? The questions can be never-ending. Well, no worries. Read through this quick guide and get the hang of a few tips that you must consider for that great first date experience.

1.     Be Yourself

First impressions are the last impressions, and you should keep that in mind. As such, the first and foremost step to acing that first date is just being you.

This should not be done to the extreme wherein you blurt everything out. But at the very same time, try to bring out your authentic self over pretending to be someone else.

2.     Dress Well

It goes without saying, right? Putting on suitable attire is vital to attracting your date towards you. Try not to dress too casually or messy on the first date. You can pick some nice pants, a smart tee-shirt, or a short silk dress. But don’t try to overdo it; keep it classy, always.

3.     Engage in Conversations

Sometimes when a person meets someone new, they forget some basic etiquette to let the conversation roll. For instance, you should not talk about yourself continuously, no matter how much you want to.

The date should be an excellent platform for knowing more about your date. While you chat your way through the conversation, try being a good listener to what the other person has got to say.

You can bring up topics that concern you and see what your date thinks about them. Sometimes knowing whether your thoughts match or not is an excellent way of analysing if a future relationship has a chance.

4.     Use a Cologne

Another significant factor to be aware of, cologne, is a mandate. You wouldn’t want to stand next to someone who smells funny, let alone date them. So, it is best to go for a lovely smelling perfume or deodorant on the date. Meanwhile, ensure that the smell isn’t too strong either.

5.     Compliment Each Other

This holds true for both- girls and guys. While it is very common for a guy to compliment a woman, say about her pretty look or that short silk dress, very few girls would do the same.

So, you should be open to complimenting the other person on their looks, personality, or attire if you like it. A compliment is a simple yet subtle way of showing a person that you like them.

6.     Avoid Overdoing Things

Time and again, you must have seen people who pretend to do things or not do them just because it could be a dealbreaker for the other. So, it will help you figure out what comforts you before establishing anything on the first date. If you do something with your whole heart, it will undoubtedly leave a mark.

For any date you embark on, confidence is the key, and the rest follows. That being said, take note of all the tips mentioned above and carry yourself with ease to your first date.

First impressions might be last impressions, but good impressions are forever lasting. So, let your unravelling nerves take a day off and walk yourself down to that fancy venue with the right amount of self-love to be a hit on your date.
