How to Leave a Lasting Impression on Your First Date

Going on your first date with someone you’ve been eyeing for a while is not something to take lightly, especially when you have to consider how it will determine the future of your relationship. If you’ve been thinking of taking your love interest to KFC and want to them one P.S. chocolate, we urge you to stop and think long and hard about the mistake you’re about to make. While it’s good to go with the flow, you have to be original with your first date, as this will leave a lasting impression on your prospective lover.

With this in mind, here are a few tips you should consider when taking out someone on a date.

1.       Take a shower

We know you take a bath, or at least we hope so. What we mean is that you should get real tidy with yourself. In other words, do some personal grooming before stepping outside to go fetch your date. For example, if you’re a guy and your nails have transformed into claws, clip them to the appropriate length. This will save you from the embarrassment of having to apologise for poking your date’s eye out.

Also remember to apply a unique scent, as a rich aroma can make all the difference.

2.       Get them flowers

Before going out with your potential significant other, you may want to consider sending flowers or a gift basket filled with treats your date likes. That means you should do your homework to find out what their personal interests are. This will allow you to pick the best gift, which will make them see how much of a charmer you are.

3.        Wear some clothes

The kind of clothes you wear is dependent on where you plan to take your date, so dress accordingly. Both men and women appreciate someone who dresses smart. This is not to say you have to wear the most expensive clothes, but your clothes must be at least cleaned and ironed.

4.       Choose a location

Most people think that expensive places are the best place to impress dates, but they’re wrong. It’s not the price of the menu that will woo your date, but the setting. If your date is into intimate themes, save some cash and cook them dinner. This is, however, dependent on your cooking skills. Both men and women appreciate a person who can cook, and if you succeed in creating a delectable dish you’re on the right track.

Leaving a lasting impression will require some effort on your part. You should try to be original and create a unique setting for your date to enjoy. And, everything goes south on the first date, you can always order flowers to apologise.
