8. Make sure you have sufficient funds.
Make sure you have the means to at least offer to pay, even if your date treats you. Verify that your preferred credit card is present in your wallet and that it is located in your jacket or purse. Additionally, it’s a good idea to have cash on hand in case the establishment you’re visiting doesn’t accept credit cards or to make dividing the bill simpler.
9. Check your bag and pockets for anything you might need.
Pack gum, breath mints, tampons, pads, condoms, a phone charger if necessary, cosmetics, perfumes, keys, and anything else you could need in addition to money.
10. Plan your route to a venue.
Look up the route at least a couple hours beforehand. You can always utilize a GPS program on your phone, but you should absolutely estimate the travel time and choose your mode of transportation before you leave. Give yourself additional time and leave early if you’re driving or taking public transportation during rush hour.
Make sure you have the appropriate transportation in addition to directions so you can arrive at your date on time. Don’t rely on your date for transportation unless you have been dating them for a while.
11. Check your attire in advance.
Decide what you’ll wear a few days before your date if you truly want to be proactive. To avoid scrambling at the last minute to find the ideal shirt, it is advisable to do this sooner rather than later.
12. Dress to impress.
Of course, what you wear will depend on your personal preferences. However, you should consider the type of date you’re going on as well as outside aspects like the weather, location, and time of day before choosing an outfit.
While dressing appropriately is important, comfort in your clothing is just as crucial. Finding the ideal balance is the trick. Choose a look and feel-good attire, and you’ll project confidence the entire evening.
If you’re unsure whether the appearance suits you, skip it and store it for another occasion when you can ask your pals for their honest judgment. A bad message might be sent out if you spend the entire date checking yourself out to see if you look decent while attempting a new trend.
13. If needed, trim or shave.
Take some time to groom your face and body hair before your date after you’ve thoroughly cleaned yourself.
- Make sure your beard is perfectly groomed if you have one.
- If you think your date might get intimate, you might wish to groom your pubic area.
- If you’re proud of the way your eyebrows are sculpted, check them out and remove any stray hairs you see.
- Be sure to pluck or trim your ear and/or nose hair as well.
14. If you wish, put on cosmetics.
When going out, a lot of individuals, particularly girls, use cosmetics. What cosmetics you wear depends depend on the type of date and the look you’re going for, much like your choice of clothing.
Remember that men can also wear cosmetics. The majority of guys who wear cosmetics like a natural, “no makeup” appearance.
