Make Preparation for dating
In a dating world where girls can ask guys out and nobody knows
who should pay, those old rules about dating from the 1950s no longer apply. If
the gold standards of dating behavior are now obsolete, how are singles in the
new millennium supposed to act in the dating circuit? Dating is not as rigid as
it used to be—which can be great for enhancing spontaneity and bring diversity
into dating partners and activities—and with flexibility also comes ambiguity.
Keep reading to learn the new dating rules and how to ensure a great first
date.
The Days Before
•
Do not go into a fi rst date without a plan.
Where are you going to go? How much money will you need? How
are you going to get there? How should you and your date be dressed?
•
Communicate with your date.
Is there a special way your date should dress? What time are
you going to pick him/her up? Let them know what your plan is so they can
prepare as well.
The Day of the Date
•
Groom.
Take a shower, wash your hair and brush your teeth.
•
Dress fashionably and appropriately.
Men should wear pants (either khakis or nice jeans), and
women should wear clothes that fl atter their bodies. No matter what, you
should wear clothes that are comfortable, fl attering and that fi t. Sexy but
understated is the best look. When you are deciding what to wear, think
“understated elegance.” Men, no holes in your clothes. Women, make sure the
girls are locked, loaded and covered.
•
Smell good, but not overpowering.
Go easy on the aftershave and perfume and remember breath mints!
It’s Date Time...
•
Know where you are going and how long it will take.
If your date lives in the boonies, know how far away it is
and the twisting/turning roads to get there. And, don’t get lost.
•
Be punctual.
Being late gives a horrible impression, and you want this
night to go really well. You will be setting yourself up for success if you are
on time.
•
Clean up your car.
You don’t want your date to smell your leftover lunch from
last week or wonder what he/she is sitting on.
Your car does not have to be spotless, but at least picked up
with no weird smells.
