How to Make a First Date Impressive

So you thought the terrifying part was over when she said yes when you asked her out, but now you realize it was only the beginning. You now have to follow through on a successful date. This can be a stressful experience for both of you, but hopefully, this guide will put your mind at ease.

1. Plan where you want to take your date. The location of the date unquestionably sets the tone for the occasion. Reserve a table at a posh restaurant if you want to be more romantic and lavish. Consider taking her out for ice cream or to a casual bar if you want to be more casual.

2. Determine whether you will meet her at the location or pick her up from her home. In general, picking her up from her house is a good idea because it shows that you are serious about the date.

This will also allow you to converse on the way. It's an especially good place to ask her about her music preferences because you'll be able to listen to it in your car.

3. Consider purchasing flowers for her. Buy her flowers and give them to her when you pick her up if you want to be romantic. It's a nice gesture that shows you've been thinking about the date for some time.

If you're not sure what kind of flower to buy, roses are always a good option. Skip it if you think it's too forward or old-school.

4. Maintain a professional appearance. It is critical that you dress appropriately for the occasion. Wear nicer clothes if you're taking her to a fancy restaurant than if you're taking her to the movies and ice cream. Shower, style your hair, apply deodorant and cologne, brush your teeth, carry gum, put on a nice clean shirt, pants, and shoes, and don't forget to shave your face. Your time and effort in your appearance will show her that you care. If you're not sure what to wear to your destination, consider the following dress codes:

Casual: This is what you would wear to get ice cream, go to the park, or go to a bar. See our article on how to dress casually. A good outfit would consist of a polo, nice jeans or khakis, and decent shoes.

Semi-formal: This is appropriate attire for dinner and a movie at a nice restaurant and theatre. See our post on how to dress semi-formally.

Instead of everyday street wear, try to wear clothes that you save for special occasions.

How to get ready for a date

5. Consider messaging her ahead of time to confirm the date. Getting stood up is unpleasant for anyone, so try to avoid it. This will also demonstrate to her that you have been thinking about the date and are eager to make it happen.

Set your phone to silent mode. Checking your phone for texts or emails during the date will demonstrate to her that you are uninterested in the date. It communicates to her that she is not as important as your phone.

Inform her if you are expecting an important call.

Try not to appear overly dependent. If you've been obsessed with her since the first time you saw her, try not to express it on the first date. Instead, imply it with phrases such as "I'm so glad you decided to come out with me tonight!"

Consider what you want to say when your date ends to avoid awkwardness and to make it clear that you want to see her again.

Last but not least, follow up with her after the date to provide closure. It doesn't matter if you use texting, email, or a phone call; just make sure you tell her you had a good time. Also, if it is true, make it a point to express your desire to go on another date with her.
