Congratulations, you finally landed your dream date with that guy. But there's something incomplete in your preparations as the day draws nearer in your calendar. Even though you have your clothes all figured out, there are still some things you need to prepare.
And this is, in fact, true, because, while you don't want to over overthink about your date, you do not wish to under-think it as well.
So, what to do? It's simple, we've put this into perspective to hopefully give you a bit of comfort and organisation in preparing yourself.
Now there are thousands of tutorials available to help you prepare your physical appearance. This is not one of those blogs. This one is about helping you to develop mentally, emotionally or even spiritually.
Self Confidence
It doesn't matter what kind of personality you have are you comfortable in your skin? Seriously? This guy likes you which is why you are going on a date, but the key here is to be confident in you.
Make sure you do a self-assessment before you step out on this date and remind yourself to be completely you. Remind yourself of how beautiful, unique and amazing you are and to be confident in you. There is no need to be nervous, anxious, or fearful. All that does is makes you act strange so cut that way of thinking today, for the rest of your life.
Local, National and international events
Keep up to date with current affairs, locally, nationally and internationally. Why?
It makes for interesting conversation for one, shows you are engaged in the world around you and is good to have in the back pocket just in case your date is even if you are not.
The critical take away with this tip is to prepare for interesting conversations. If you have a lot of interests, then this will come easy for you, but if you do not have many hobbies then prepare some general topics that may be useful for the conversation to break the ice.
Expectations
Rid yourself of all expectations. Yes, that is correct! The issue with having high expectations is it stunts the growth of the element of surprise. Another way of looking at it is, don't try and have it all worked out or try and control the whole event. Try and be as liquid as possible and go with the flow. When things happen naturally, that's where the real magic happens. Prepare to let go!
Prepare your attitude
Put on an open approach. Don't rule out excitement, adventure, fun, laughter, and all those beautiful things life has to offer. What does this have to do with attitude? Everything, because if you expect these things, usually you draw them to you through your perspective.
Have you ever seen someone that expects fun and excitement talk to people with a depressed voice? No. That is because your attitude reflects your perspective, so get that in check before you even think about dating.
Smile
Nobody likes a sourpuss. Smiling is one of the most effective non-verbal communications available to send positive signals to another person. This suggestion encompasses every other preparation into one. The smile you wear tells a person a lot about you at first glance.
The critical take away here is to check your smile is sufficient for the task at hand. If you find you are not happy with the condition of your smile, then grab yourself a DIY Teeth Whitening Kit or invest in a Charcoal Teeth Whitener from a good supplier. We want your smile to reflect all the best bits about you that people don't see.
