Preparing Yourself to Meet Someone New!! Going for the first date!!
First impression can make or break your first meeting with someone new. First impressions may be your only chance to make an impression before someone gets to know the real you. Meeting someone new is almost like going for an interview or an Exam. Always remember all you have to do is make your assets shine and remove any liabilities. It is always important to look your best to make you feel confident. And keep in mind, the way you treat yourself gives the impression of how you will treat them.
This doesn't mean that a guy needs to look like James Bond or a woman like Nicole Kidman. Just don't go to your first date looking grungy and sloppy. Just keep in mind: Cleanliness, polished, confident body language and looking good are the words we want in your vocabulary when you fix yourself up for that first date. Next blog is a checklist for women. It will tell them what things to do to score a good impression.
Hey Ladies! Create a Great First Impression
♥ Make sure your nails are filed, at least painted with a coat of clear polish.
♥ Use makeup close to your skin color; so that they look natural and compliment your skin.
♥ Update your hairstyle. You don't have to change your hair to something wild. If your hair is down to your waist or hasn't changed in 3 years, go find a new hairdresser.
♥ If your glasses are more than 3 years old, have very large lenses, again, it is time to look for a new pair.
♥ Take a look at your wardrobe. Wear something classy and tasteful for the first meeting - pants or a nice skirt and blouse. Don't wear anything uncomfortable or too revealing.
♥Do wear sexy underwear. Even though you won't be showing, it will make a difference in how you feel about yourself.
♥ Wear some sexy underwear under your new clothes. It will make you feel cool and confident.
♥ If your teeth are yellow from smoking or coffee, try an over the counter whitening toothpaste. For the best results, spend the money and get the whitening gel and mouthpieces from your dentist. Nothing is sexier than pearly white teeth.
♥ Fragrance-Smell is an important attraction. Make sure you have a shower before your meeting. You may be used to your own body odor, but there is no greater turn on for a man than a woman who just showered with freshly shampooed hair and a light whiff of a good cologne/perfume. Wear a good clean fragrance.
Guys!! Get ready for your first date
♥ Scrub the dirt from under your nails. Clip your nails short. Men with untidy fingernails just look gross.
♥ Get a haircut and make it short. Long hair looks ridiculous unless you are in a rock band or are a model.
♥ The vogue for the goatee look was over 2 years ago. Keep in mind that many women have sensitive skin and kissing a man with facial hair is a turnoff. Ninety percent of women prefer a clean-shaven man. You won't see many men with hair on their face. If you are not getting dates, consider this part of the problem and shave all of it off for a while. Try, it works.
Most of the time a mustache makes the man's mouth look small and his facial expression sad. Sorry guys, but most of you grow these things to be in or macho and 60-70% of the facial hair women see on guys as scraggly and uneven, makes their mouth look small....well, you get the idea. If you are still reluctant in shaving then make sure they are trimmed well.
♥ Take a good look in the mirror. Do your eye brows run together? If so have them professionally tweezed or electrolysis to remove the unwanted hair. It gives a stern and unhappy look leaving you dateless. So go and fix it!
♥ If you wear glasses and your glasses are more than 3 years old, are aviator style, or large lenses, it is time to get a new pair.
♥ Wear something classy and tasteful for the first meeting. Wear pants, shirts and polished shoes. A good pair of loafers always looks good.
♥ If your teeth are yellow from smoking or coffee, try an over the counter whitening toothpaste or the whitening gel and mouthpieces from your dentist. Nothing is sexier than pearly white teeth.
♥ Fragrance-Smell is an important attraction. Make sure you have a shower before your meeting. Nothing is better than a light whiff of a good designer cologne/aftershave. No Old Spice PLEASE!
