You did it!  You have a date with the guy of your dreams, so congratulations!  But now what?  What should you do in order to get ready and be prepared so that you are confident and sure of yourself without coming across as “too much?”  Unfortunately, a lot of women forget this part of dating, and they feel like they have to pull out all the stops to make themselves appealing.  Think about it though, you have got the date so did you not already seem appealing enough?  Let’s take a look at the things you should not do on your first date.

1. Let him be in charge.  If a man asks you on a date, then let him take the reigns.  You might typically be a control freak, but this is one time when you absolutely need to let that go.  You should enjoy yourself on a date, so beforehand take some time to relax.  Take a bath, burn some relaxing incense–my favorite is legal herbs direct, and get ready in plenty of time so you are not stressing.  When you are calm and let him take the reigns, you are sure to have more fun…so will he.
2. Be yourself, and look like yourself.  So often, women get more than dolled up to go out on a first date.  It is probable that the man who asked you out sees you on a regular or occasional basis so he is familiar with how you normally look.  Do not wear so much make up or style your hair in such a way where you look like a totally different woman.  He will appreciate that you take some time to look nice, but he will not understand if you don’t look like yourself.
3. Have fun, but watch how much you drink.  Having a glass of wine or a cocktail on a date is perfectly respectable.  Having five or six might not be the best idea.  Limit your alcohol consumption so that you do not get too silly or sloppy.
