First dates can be pretty nerve racking for some people. With all the dating and relationship tips for woman out there, most women are not sure what to do, say or even how to act. I know how overwhelming it can be, so here are three tips you should follow so you can stop worrying and enjoy the date.
1. Do a Dress Rehearsal: This way when it comes down to the night of the date, you have everything picked out and ready to go and you do not have to worry at all. About two or three days prior to the date, pick out your outfit- try it on and make sure you are comfortable and feel good. You don’t want to run around the night of the date ranting you have nothing to wear. Do your hair, make up and pick out the jewelry you want to wear. When you are on a date and you are stressing about your looks, hair, clothes etc. you are never really mentally on that date. You are so concerned about the superficial things and you spend the evening in your head worried about what you look like and running to the bathroom to check in the mirror. By doing the dress rehearsal, you know everything looks good and your focus is on the date and not on how you want to be relaxed and confident.
2. Talk to your date: I know that may sound weird, but some women are so nervous about what they are going to say, they end up not saying anything. No one wants to be on a date with someone who doesn’t talk. An easy way to make conversation is to start out just asking basic questions( where did you grow up, brothers/sisters, etc.). Always start with the basics because it is always easier for people to talk about things they know and who does anyone know better than themselves. Definitely do not start out asking where do you see this relationship going. The more you are talking about something you are secure about the more you will talk. The less breaks in conversation the better. Once you are feeling relaxed and a little more confident you will open up a little bit more. The more secure and relaxed you are that will help make your date a little less uneasy (yes, men get nervous too)
3. Don’t drink too much: I have learned this one the hard way. No one wants to be with a drunk -let alone on your first date. Talk about lousy first impressions. It is alright to have one or two drinks on a date, everyone needs a little help to take the edge off. First dates are a two drink maximum. I don’t care how well you can hold you liquor. The other person doesn’t know who you are and might notice how much alcohol you are consuming instead of how great you are. Wait until you know him better to let yourself go a little. A drunken mess is a total turn off for anyone.
In the end no matter what dating and relationship tips for women you have read, just remember to be yourself and everything will go great. Be focused on having a good time. Because even a good date that doesn’t go past the first one-is still a successful date and great practice for you!!
