How do get ready for a date

One of the most important things to remember when you are getting ready for a first date is to remember to be yourself. If you love a classic and simple outfit, wear that for your date. Worrying about every little thing about your appearance will likely just ruin the chance of your date going anywhere.

If you spend the whole date messing with your hair or stressing about your appearance, you are probably not focusing on the conversation and getting to know your date as much as you would be otherwise. Be confident in yourself, nothing is more attractive than someone that is comfortable and happy in their own appearance. Remember your date is not perfect and likely has things that they worry about themselves.

So, stop overthinking every little thing and try to just enjoy the date instead. Take this time to really get to know one another. There is no point going on a date with anyone if you are too stressed to relax and enjoy it. Rather than spending the time before your date stressing or worrying about your appearance or what you are going to say, take some time to just relax.

Do whatever makes you feel good and calm, whether it be meditating, reading or going for a walk. The most important thing to focus on during a date and when preparing for it is the conversation. Think about what you would like to talk about and learn about your date, rather than simply worrying about your appearance.

Going on a date is about getting to know someone and finding out whether or not you are compatible with one another. Taking a bath before your date and making sure to really pamper yourself and make yourself feel good and relaxed.

It is important to feel nice and clean before your date. So take the time to look after your body by taking a long soak in the bath, followed by moisturising your whole body. Taking the time to relax will make all the difference. It is a good idea to treat yourself every now and again and what better time than before a date. Go to your favourite shop or order from your favourite online store. Just remember to pick something that makes you look yourself. Before you go on your night out, take the time to try on a few different outfits to pick the one that you love the most.

Choosing something that you love will make you look confident and comfortable. Take the time to look after yourself properly. No outfit is complete without your favourite jewellery and accessories. Take the time beforehand to pick your jewellery, bags and shoes that perfectly match your outfit. However, if you are wearing accessories, make sure to find the right combination. If you like to wear perfume, spray your favorite scent before you go out the door.

Whether you prefer something fresh or musky, perfume can help ensure you are feeling great you when getting ready to go out. A signature scent helps to improve your confidence and ensure you are feeling great throughout the evening. Brushing your teeth is one of the most important steps that everyone should take before leaving for an evening out. Make sure to floss too to make sure that your teeth are perfectly clean.

Remember you will be in close proximity to your partner for the whole evening so you want to make sure you make a great impression. If your dinner is booked for early in the evening, try to do your makeup in natural light. Making sure to do your makeup in a brighter or more natural light will help you to make sure you have properly applied it and blended in everything.

Doing your makeup in a badly lit room can result in too much blush or bronzer that you may regret when you look in a mirror later on. If you are wearing makeup for the evening, make sure that you use a primer and setting powder so that it stays in place. Try out the makeup look the day before so you know how it will last.

It is not always a great idea to experiment before a night out, as this may result in stress and a rush at the end. If you want to wear a new colour of lipstick, make sure to try it the day before so that you can test it out and decide whether it is the right one. Changing your lipstick a few times before you go out can result in you having to redo the rest of your makeup.

Whether that's a full weightlifting session or a quick jog on the treadmill, you should work up a sweat and release all that nervous energy that's no doubt built up over the last day or so as you've looked forward to this night.

But be sure you leave plenty of time to take fully prepare for the evening. Speaking of…. You know to shower, comb your hair, brush your teeth, and shave off any Unabomber beard.

It also shows your date that you've made an effort. It's a compliment and that's a great way to make a great first impression. If you fail to clean off the grime from under your fingernails, trust us: she'll notice. And she won't like it. In the same way that you want to elevate your grooming routine, do something a little classier with your wardrobe.

Nothing feels quite as good as it does the first time you wear it. So use that to your advantage by adding something new to your wardrobe before the date. That may be a perfectly crisp shirt, a brand-new belt, or even a fresh pair of socks you just picked up. Whatever it is, wearing an item you just tore the tag off of is going to give you that so-fresh-and-so-clean feeling like little else can.

Depending on the woman or the date, that may mean projecting the look of a professional who's successful and satisfied with where he's at. Or it might mean a more fun-loving, energetic guy up for a memorable night. Whatever impression you are aiming for, that should be top of mind as you select your clothes and accessories. Whether it's an important job interview or professional test, studies have shown that imagining yourself succeeding in a high-pressure situation makes it more likely that you will succeed when actually in the high-pressure situation.

The same logic applies to a date: Do a mental walk-through of how things will go, from the moment you step out of your place to picking her up at hers, from dinner to dessert, dancing to returning home hopefully together. Imagine the most charming, charismatic version of yourself throughout, and how the conversation will naturally flow from light jokes and occasional teasing to more romantic topics, from a few incidental touches to more intimate contact. Do all that three times, and it's going to be hard for the evening to go any way but great, even if you tried to tank.

Confirm you have her address and the address of the restaurant, double-check your reservation and any tickets you've got for a show or movie. It's easy to get so caught up in the excitement of the date that you don't realize until it's too late that you actually booked dinner for a different night or thought she was on "Fifth Street" instead of "Fifth Avenue.
