First Date – For The Men Online Dating

The first thing you should know:  females make judgments quickly, and those judgments tend to be permanent.  We overanalyze absolutely everything, but we won’t breathe a word of it!  So if you turn up to the first date – particularly if you met through online dating personals or dating chat – as though you just jumped out of bed, we start to think:  “Why didn’t he make any effort?  He doesn’t like me!  This is a pity date!  He must not be looking for anything real.”

This may sound cracked, but honestly, who wants to go out with a person who turns up looking like they don’t want to be there?  So firstly, understand that the way you dress on a date could actually determine straight away whether that date might become a second one, or maybe something more.

If you think, “But she said yes to going out on the date, so I don’t have to do all this!”  Let me tell you:  you are so very wrong!  If I can presume that you asked her out because you do want this date to be followed up by a second one, let me share the number one tip for your dating wardrobe.

Think about what you will be doing.  If you are a big walker or if you are going to the beach or on a paint ball skirmish, then dressing formally in an attempt to display your wealth and class is definitely not the best idea.   If it’s a traditional but always acceptable dinner-and-a-show evening, then dress appropriately for the film and dinner venue.  That said, even if (for some reason) you are frequenting MacDonald’s and an animated film (please, please don’t!) it doesn’t matter – frat boy attire is still not acceptable (regardless of what your display picture in your online dating chat room is)!  Make the effort and dress to impress!
