What to do before a date

  • Do some research.

It always pays to be ready even when it comes to first dates. And part of your preparation should include doing some research. Spend some time beforehand doing research on great conversation starters. There are a lot of things that you can learn from the internet. This can help you avoid awkward silences during the date and make sure you or your date don’t get bored. Look for interesting and fun conversation topics to make your time together more enjoyable and pleasant. Make sure you find some time to check some helpful tips online.

  • Work on looking good and feeling good in advance.

Date preparation is something you can do not only on the actual day of your date but in the days before it. Spend some time for exercise, getting enough rest and eating healthy. Feeling good inside will boost your confidence and will reduce your nervousness.

  • Plan what to wear early on.

Choose and try on the clothes you will wear on the date. This helps you avoid last-minute panics in case your outfit doesn’t work out the way it should. Early planning means that you should also have a ‘Plan B’ in case something happens with your first choice! Having several choices can also help you try different styles so you can choose the one which will look and fit the best.

  • Listen to good music.

It’s natural to feel nervous when you’ve only got a few hours to go before the date. To help you calm down and be in a positive mood, listen to some fun and upbeat music. Choose the kind of songs which will get you in the mood for having a good time.

  • Clean up on the day of the date.

This one may seem like a no-brainer. But you really need to make sure you look neat on the day of the date if you want to make a good impression. Cleaning up means more than just being good looking. It means you should have clean hair, skin and nails and that you smell good. However, you should also avoid using heavy cologne or perfumes because your date might be allergic to strong scents. As for the ladies, just use light make up because the more natural you look, the better. Lastly, make sure your teeth are cleaned thoroughly.

  • Do a quick background check.

If you have some extra time before your date, it won’t hurt to do a little background check. You might want to get a little more information on your date’s social media accounts just to get an idea of the kind of person you’re meeting. This will also give you an idea of how you can make a good impression.

  • Be positive.

When you’re about to go out on a date, don’t allow yourself to be overwhelmed by worries and fears. Remember, you are going out to have a good time, so make the most of this experience, have fun and enjoy!
