In you stroll, looking hot in that new outfit! You know you look good and you’re feeling confident. Does that ring true?
This is not to say that we need to spend a king’s ransom on the latest designer gear, fashions and style. However, when we dress well we feel good. So when dating, it’s important to look good because if you do, you will feel good too.

Here’s a few tips to impressing your date:

• Dress attractively but comfortably. Don’t wear clothes that make you feel stiff or self-conscious.

• Be aware of your posture – it speaks volumes about you. You want to appear alert and confident by sitting up straight.

• Compliment your date. Don’t just say ‘I like your shirt.’ Be sincere and notice something that he or she took time with.

• Learn to flirt. Try it out and have some fun! Don’t overdo it, though. You don’t want to overwhelm your date.

• Realize that you don’t have to tell people how great you are. It’s better to show them instead.

• Be interested and interesting. Listen actively to what your date says. Ask questions and don’t interrupt.

• Enjoy yourself, no matter what. If you’re easygoing and fun to be around and if you can roll with whatever comes your way, you can’t help but make a great impression.

• Thank the other person for the date – always, without exception. Good manners will get you far.

Remember that your efforts will be appreciated even if nothing is ever said. In one short phrase, first impressions count.
