Meetville.com has suggested a few things to bear in mind if you are about to go on a first date. So take heed and you might even find the one!
Relationships on Female First
If you have only talked over the phone, looked at a profile picture or texted each other- he really doesn’t know exactly how you look until you turn up on your first date. So making an impact with your outfit can be the difference between him thinking ‘wow’ and ‘she could have tried harder’.
Chiara Atik, a dating expert and author of “Modern Dating: A Field Guide,” is sure looks matter: “We asked men what the things they first notice about women were. One thing they brought up often was clothing. Indeed it does say a lot about who you are. The date uses clothing to determine if he might like you and if you might get along.”
Let’s start with the basics- from getting in from work- we walk you through the stages of first date preparation:
Brush your teeth- No one wants to kiss someone with day old breath- be thorough- floss and use mouthwash. When you smile you can do it with confidence. If you are not a first date kisser- then at least he can get a whiff of somewhere he wants to revisit later.
Wear your glad rags- Wear something that you would normally wear when you are dressing up and going out on a special occasion- try to avoid a new outfit as you might end up spending the night fumbling as you get used to your new attire. You can’t afford the distraction.
Don’t forget to moisturise- Make sure you have a healthy glow and not one from running down the street because you are late or what looks like that just pregnant dew- one that says you take care of your skin.
Wash- Shower with a nice smelling body wash and shampoo- smell is very powerful way to make sure he remembers you. If someone passes him on the street wearing your scent- he will automatically think of your date and of you.
“Choosing a genetically compatible partner can be difficult it today. Yet despite some extravagant industry promises, the attraction value in perfumes resides strictly in their pleasantness, not their sexiness,” says Bryant Furlow, celebrated medical journalist.
Colour- Different colours can be symbolic of aspects of your personality so choose one that describes you best and think about what impression you would like to give on your first outing:
Red- Your are exciting, dangerous and sexual. Men believe that you are more likely to agree to sex wearing this colour.
Adam Pazda, who has conducted various studies on the topic of colour, says: “Red is inextricably linked with romance and sex in Western culture — think of Valentine’s Day hearts, red lipstick and even red-light districts. Psychologists have found, in multiple studies, that whatever a woman’s intentions when she dons a red outfit, men respond.”
Blue- You are calm and encouraging and a creative thinker. Blues are associated with summer skies and clear oceans- holidays and days off come to mind when seeing this colour.
Grey- You are authoritative and have direction in everything you do. That is why many businesswomen choose this colour- one that encourages people to take you seriously.
Yellow- You are gentle, friendly and approachable. Think bunches of flowers and sunshine- it brings out the happy, carefree side side in you and your date.
White- Its bridal, virginal and symbolic of innocence, so it’s no surprise that men think that you are least likely to agree to sex in this colour. So of you are a third date kind of gal then this is the perfect colour to convey the message- ‘not tonight mister’!
