Tips before a first date

So today at Label’ Emotion London we want to help all the single girls who need some advice and support before a first dinner, a first drink, a first movie or just a first coffee with this PERFECT guy you met a few days ago! Girls, let’s give you a few tips before a first date, cause we know that a first date can be tricky…

This is the kind of moment you feel lost and stressed for nothing, the kind of moment you need your girlfriends to help you find the prefect outfit, the same kind of moment before your first day at High School when you spend an entire day trying to find what you are going to wear just because you have to show that you’ve changed during holidays, and because teenagers always have to prove something by their outfit…
Teenagers or not, we are all the same, girls that’s all.

A lot of questions in your mind right now, too much I can guess, silly questions we all ask ourselves before a first date, questions like … What if he’s a weirdo? What if we run out of things to talk about? What if I don’t like him at the end? What if he realize I m not his type ? What if he has a girlfriend already?
What if he’s the one ??? You never know… Love can knock on your door anytime, this is one of the few things I am sure about.

Let’s be honest, the first thing that can make you look attractive and confident is your outfit. It seems obvious but some people don’t really care about this, and don’t really think about what they should (or shouldn’t) wear when they woke up or worst, for a first date!
And let’s face it, this is not superficial to think about the way you dress, especially when you meet a potential target/lover/boyfriend/husband !! 😉
So you have to think about it very carefully to avoid mistakes and there is nothing more terrible than picking up the wrong outfit for a first date, you will feel uncomfortable and just, not you.
So as I always say, if you are having trouble finding the perfect outfit, less is more.
You can’t make any mistake with something simple but pretty, something that suits you well, something you know will make you look and feel beautiful.

When you finally meet him, be yourself, this is the magic word here girls.
If you are here today with him that’s for a reason and up to now, you were yourself with him, he liked you for what you are and this is clearly not the moment to change and be someone else to impress him or any bull**** you can find to explain this sudden “other personality”.

Have an opinion. Don’t be afraid of saying what you think, what you want or what you don’t want on the contrary! Make decisions; please don’t be the “I don’t know” kidda girl… I can assure you that boys will definitely prefer a girl with opinions and character than a girl without any input.

Eat what you usually eat. Well, everything is relative of course but what I mean is just don’t order half of the veggie salad in the starters menu as you entire meal, he won’t think you are healthy and skinny, but more like a food issues girl.
Or conversely, don’t choose the only 90 pounds meal in the menu just because you are not paying.
Education issues, he will think.

Give him a reason to see you again. The fact that you look super hot is important but not that important at the end. Boys are animals but when they like a girl they can think (a little bit) like us.
He will want to learn things about you, hear about your funny stories (be reasonable for the first date) and just begin to know you.
Please, if you really like him, play it soft and don’t be to “easy” (in every sense of the word) keep some mystery (but not too much either) and give him reasons to remember how fun you were, how interesting you were etc…

Last (but not least) , we will never assume or accept this vicious part of us girls, but just in case you know a girl who knows a girl who has a first date soon, you can advise her not to stalk him (too much) before it.

The pictures of his ex won’t really help you or knowing things about him and his road trip in California last summer before he tells you about it can be awkward and you, oups no SHE might forgot what she learned from Facebook or from him and mix the stories in front of him… Just sayin.. 😉

ENJOY xx
