Of course, first date is an essential event in the life of a teenage girl. So, if yours is about to happen, congratulations! It is not only a small achievement of the youth, but also a chance to start a happy relationship with a new boyfriend. However, it is important not to spoil everything from the very beginning. So use these simple first date tips to leave a breathtaking impression about yourself and ensure the one you like is sure to come again.
First Date Clothes for a Teen Girl
What to wear?! That is a desperate question of all the females going on a date. But don’t worry. A solution always exists.
First of all, it would be great if you found out where you will go. Will it be a sports event? A romantic dinner? A movie theater? Or, maybe, his sister’s wedding? - If you have the answer, then the situation is saved – just put on what is appropriate for the place.
If, however, the plan for the date is a mystery, choose something neutral. At the same time, though you might look casual, there must be something special. A dress is, of course, always a good choice – not too fancy, not too sexy, but the one that makes you look special. On this matter you might be interested in reading A Quick Guide to Wearing Dresses.
Any other clothes will do too, but make sure to add some special element to your look, so that your boy realizes that the event is “slightly” important for you. It may be a beautiful necklace or high heels you don’t usually wear. So, something slightly unusual is a must.
Make Up for a First Date?
That is the question. Well, the best option is always to stay on a middle ground. Of course, some make up won’t worsen the situation. On the contrary, why not try to look better than usual? At the same time, it is important not to overdo. A too bright or provocative make up may look vulgar and aggressive – that is not exactly what a first date calls for. Light lipstick or shiny gloss, light shadows or a thin line of an eyeliner plus some powder – that’s just enough considering that youth and beauty will complete the picture.
First Date Conversations
Definitely, you will be talking about something – what can be better than a face-to-face communication?! However, be careful regarding what you talk about. The prohibited topics include politics, religion and your achievements. As for politics and religion, these themes are rather difficult to avoid and, even if they are touched, just move on to something else. As for your personal achievements, watch your words and do not boast – it is not the best idea to make your boy feel miserable in comparison to you.
The ideal situation is when he talks more than you – people love being listened to! Ask questions and express interest in what your friend is telling you. This will ensure he will consider you to be great company and will want to see you again.
Who Will Pay?
Well, if your mate is a gentleman, he will pay for everything to be paid for. If you are not comfortable with that, let him know as early as possible, so that the two of you don’t start arguing at a most unpropitious moment.
However, even if you agree that the male should pay, we never know what might happen or what he actually thinks. Therefore, it is just obligatory to have some cash with you! Just in case…
Some General Dating Advice for Teen Girls:
- Be on time for your first date. It’s not good to make the young man wait on a first date – he might get worried, scared that you won’t come… and leave before you come. That will be disappointing.
- Take a cell phone with you. In such a case both you and your parents (especially the parents) will feel more secure – you will be able to call someone when you need it.
- Don’t start disputes or conversations about something you have no idea about – a minute of silence may save a conversation, while a silly or ignorant statement may ruin a chance for relationships.
- Leave all the problems at home - they are not something a potential boyfriend is interested in when you meet for the first time.
- Do not show your boyfriend how interested you are in him, otherwise he will just get bored. Let him court you and strive for your liking.
Finally, do not worry and relax. We all are people and we all make mistakes. For the same reason a minor mistake you may make at your first date will also be forgiven. The most important is for you to feel comfortable with whomever and wherever you are. So, if at the most crucial moment you happen to forget any of the above dating advice, simply act as if it was an ordinary day with a friend. Don’t worry, everything will be fine!
