We will be covering this topic over a few parts ie the "How " to have an interesting date for the evening & YOUR body language. How can I impress my date?
1) Can I be myself on a date with regards to my usual talking habits, speed or chattiness?
Well! Advice no. 1: Do not be a motor mouth.
Advice no 2: Do not monopolise the whole conversation.
Advice no 3: Do a little mental survey of your date of whether he/she is a quiet person or could converse easily. Your date may be doing the same of you too. Try not to size up your date by staring at him/her from head to toe on the first date. That would be very intimidating and would put some people off.
You do not want to bore your date by the 10th minute RIGHT?
More later!

Her: What should I wear?
Is it ok to dress to kill? dress sexily? or just simple dressing?
When you are going out on a 1st date, it is not advisable to dress to kill, plunging neckline or very short skirt. you do not want to give your date a wrong impression. Neither do you want to distract your date.
You want your date to focus on you when talking to you and not on your cleavage when talking to you. Of course there are those who say that if you have it, why not flaunt it? Sex & The City!
That depends on the situation you are in. You are not advised to flaunt too much on a first date. If you are meeting a guy for the first time, your safety is of prime consideration. You do not want to turn him on too much and ended up having a one night stand with him and there goes your date. Dress in a way that would make you look pretty with some accessories and yet at the same time make him respect you on a first date as a clean date.
We remember watching Sex & The City, and our favourite actress, Sarah Jessica Parker as the journalist wears great fashionable clothes and her Manola Blahnik high heels-3 inches or higher as she is considered short for the american standard. We love her clothes not to mention her great figure BUT why must she always wear her bra straps exposed behind a bare back? so ...no no! but she still looks great in whatever clothing she wears.
Remember , if you want to wear sexy clothes that gives a peek here and there. do not expose your under-wears, be it your bra strap, undies sticking out from your low cut jeans as you would be giving the impression that you are not bothered of your looks or just plain bad dresser.
Honestly, we would not recommend platform shoes on a date. One guy told us that he was rather put off by his date wearing a platform shoes that he never saw her again thereafter.
We will be writing more later!
Cheers!
Happy Dating!

Him: What should I wear?
Let's assume that you have a date set up this Saturday evening.
So, if you are a guy, what should you do next?
What should you do to impres your date? Do you need to memorise any poem to serenade your date?
Do you need to go out and rent a tuxedo?
First thing first, you have to make sure that you have made a booking at the restaurant where your date will have a meal with you. You also have to make sure that if you are going to watch a movie, you have already bought the movie tickets.
Never assume that you will have a good table at the restaurant or that you will be able to get good seats at the movie theatre. Remember! Never assume! As the saying goes, when you Assume, it makes an "Ass of you and me"! Many things could happen!
What next?
It is important that you look neat during the date. First impression is the last impression. Get your hair gelled, or trimmed. Wear a properly pressed shirt, properly tucked in with jeans or slacks/khakis. make sure the colours match. We highly recommend beige or brown coloured pants. it matches easily with blue shirts, white, red, green or any colour. Other suitable colour trousers besides blue jeans are black and perhaps white. Remember, if the tone for the shirt is soft, then you could wear a stronger colour for pants. if the colour for the shirt is strong like black/deep blue, then you could match it with lighter colour pants like white or beige.
We do not recommend men to wear floral shirts. We walked past one branded men boutique the other day and we saw a mannequin wearing a white floral shirt. Men who wear floral shirts look SISSY! unless of course if you are in Hawaii. Then it is ok !
Checks make you look square. It is not recommended to wear checks shirt and stripe pants. then you may just confuse your date's visions. :)
T-shirts are ok if you are on a casual date.
As for shoes, a pair of black leather shoes seem fine. NEVER WEAR SLIPPERS. DEFINITELY NO NO!
Lastly, spray on some nice and fresh smelling cologne to impress her! Brands that are a favourite are Davidoff, Polo, Chanel, YSL (try getting the scent for the macho men. The more classic scent are more for the businessman/older folks)
