Let the Real You Shine When Dating

Are you ready to take the next step and actually meet someone you’ve connected with online? No doubt the thought makes you both nervous and excited. Follow these tips from the dating expert to ensure a fun afternoon for your first date.

First, the most important thing is to be yourself. Just like you want to meet the real person behind the keyboard, your date no doubt has the same objective. As you decide on what to wear for your first date, don’t add anything dramatic to your typical routine, and don’t eliminate anything you normally do. The closer to your comfort routine you stay, the more apt you are to present a sincere first impression. If you generally take advantage of Groupon coupons for eyelash-extensions, by all means, continue with that process or you’ll feel like part of you is missing! Select an outfit that’s comfortable and you know you feel and look your best in. Know that the absolute most important thing you can wear to a first date, or any date, is a genuine smile and quiet self-confidence. Pairing these two are always a winning combination. If you try to be someone you’re not, you risk your date actually likes the person you’re pretending to be but may not like it when the real you emerges. No one likes to be fooled.

Finally, to minimize the stress – try to focus on the impression you’re having of your date. Don’t stress out about whether or not you think your date likes you. That’s a definite buss kill. Bottom line, be yourself. That will prove to be a winner in the long run every time. Take it one date at a time and enjoy the moment.
