How To Have The Perfect First Date
Managed to get your crush’s phone number but are nervous about going out with them for the first time? Do you dream of having the perfect first date with your crush? Do you have no idea what the perfect first date entails? Would you even know how to act to create the perfect first date? Here’s our guide to having the best first date imaginable!
1. Prepare.
Make sure you know where you’re going, and have made any necessary reservations. Getting turned away from the cinema or restaurant on your first date is probably the worst beginning possible!
2. Be confident.
Wear an outfit that you know makes you look good and that you feel comfortable and confident in. This includes shoes, accessories, scent, your hairstyle and, for the ladies, make up if you wear it. Make sure your outfit is clean and without rips, tears or stains.
3. Relax!
You date is out with you because they want to be. The first step has already been taken. Don’t be too nervous. Prepare in advance some topics of conversation so that you don’t run into awkward silences.
Here are 21 questions to ask on a first date!
4. Avoid topics of conversation which might be controversial.
Keep it light hearted and fun, and your date will be sure to want to see you again.
5. Smile!
If you look happy, you look confident.
6. Be interested in your date.
Ask questions about what they’re saying to show that you’re interested in them. Don’t be afraid to admit you don’t understand their job or hobby – use it as an excuse to ask questions and find out more about them!
7. End the date at an appropriate time to leave your crush gagging to see you again!
There’s nothing worse than one of you trying to stay out longer when the other one is thinking about getting up for work or college in the morning! Simply let them know that you’ve had a wonderful time and would like to see them again, make an arrangement to call them in the next few days, and end it with a small kiss on the cheek. Gauge their reaction. If they want to kiss you further, they will let you know!
8. Enjoy yourself!
Dating is fun. Sometimes it goes wrong, sometimes it goes wonderfully right. Enjoy the moment, and don’t take yourself to seriously.
