First impressions don't always go the way we wish they would. Well here are some legitimate suggestions that will help you on that important first date.

Gentelman, do you know what you are going to wear? She is already thinking about it. Choose an outfit that matches the scene you will be in. Are you going to a nice restaurant, a club, concert or is this a simple cup of coffee? The more comfortable you look and feel in your surroundings will help put her at ease. If you can't figure out what to wear call someone with fashion sense. Let us take the standard dinner date scenario. Call the restaurant make reservations and ask what the dress code is. They tell you upscale casual no need for a jacket. So choose a nice pair of pants and a button down dress shirt no tie. Guys you should have a good pair of black dress shoes that go with pants or jeans. Chances are she will know more about your shoes then you do. The shoes say a lot. Don't forget to shower, shave and clean under your finger nails. Next you want to have enough of the evening planned to show her you thought about the date but never go over board. You don't want to come off as a stalker. Treat the host, the waiter and even the busboy politely. If you get to the restaurant and the hostest says they lost your resvervation say something like; that's disappointing, please try and find us an extra special table if you would, we will just joureny over to the bar. I know these things happen. When it comes to drinking chose your poison wisely and never get drunk. Listen to what she is saying over dinner, don't interrupt but defiantly ask a few questions. When eating, eat slowly don't inhale your food. You might even catch her staring at your mouth. Dinners over, you pay, this is your first date no going dutch and you leave the tip. If she wants to buy you a drink at the bar you go to after dinner that's fine. Now the night is over and things seem to have gone well. On the ride home both people are thinking about a first kiss. The tensen. Should I? should I not? If you can't pick up her signs on your own rememeber this, if she has already made physical contact. Did she grab your arm while laughing at your joke? She may also get fidgety or nervous. Last but not least always open the door, go up to the door (don't beep the horn) and treat her like a lady.

Ladies, love the dress and that necklace goes great with that pattern. Dress to accentuate your best features. When it comes to make-up less is best. If you have nice eyes watch the goop, easy on the blush Annie and don't check your make-up every five minutes, it's not going to fall off. Also go easy on the perfume it comes in a small spray bottel for a reason. Next and others can say what they will but you should be ready. When the guy comes to the door you should be able to say "just let me grab my purse". If he is shy once you hit the road, ask about his music selections. What CD's do you have in here? The ice has to be broken before you get to the restaurant. If not something about the flow of the whole date seems off. When getting seated wait a moment before reaching for the chair, give him a chance to pull it out for you. If he does great, if not it will make him look manner-less. When it is time to order don't order the most expense thing on the menu, simply order a dish you like and avoid messy foods. The check comes, he pays and this is a good time to powder your nose. If he doesn't have anything planned after but he lists a few ideas, just pick one. No need to have the back and forth. The place with the live bands sounds great. The night is over but you want to hang out more and invite him in. One way is to bring up parking. You can park in the driveway or there are usually spots open around the corner. This lets him know the night isn't over yet. Second way is to bring up something you were going to show him. Do you want to see the warrior mask we were talking about. He says I would love to see it. ".

Both people need to be confident, comfortable and need to be them selves.
