According to etiquette first date It’s better to organize during the day, when it’s still light outside. This is considered proof of serious intentions on both sides. In winter this is difficult due to early sunsets. Discuss with your man a time limit for your meeting. This will prevent you from appearing frivolous and available, and will give you the opportunity to escape early if things go wrong.



Acquaintance happened, the guy asked you out on a date, an extremely important question remains: what to wear on a first date in winter if the weather outside is far from warm?

Clothes should be chosen in pastel neutral colors, then both people can feel more comfortable. But it’s better to avoid bright, expressive colors so as not to scare off a man. To make communication more relaxed, like with old acquaintances, do not dress formally. What you wear on a first date depends on the venue, but it’s better to wear something from your usual clothes. This way you will feel confident, without unnecessary nervousness.

Where to go on a date in winter

Statistics say: only 3% of girls would like to go to an exhibition or museum on their first date. The same trend is observed in males. So you can safely leave cultural events for later. Going to the cinema is also not a good idea. You won’t be able to talk and get to know each other more at the movies, and there may be difficulties in choosing a film that suits both. It is unsafe to walk on icy streets and it is very cold. The ideal option would be a small cozy cafe, where it’s warm and tasty, and you can talk a lot. Do not immediately choose expensive restaurants without knowing about the wealth of the gentleman and the ability to pay the bill.

What to talk about

You have decided where and what to wear on your first date in winter, and you begin to worry about what you will talk about with your date. We all love a man's care, but on the first date it is the girl who will have to take care of the guy. The male sex is much more nervous than the female sex. Try not to brag or complain, speak in a calm voice about pleasant things, using less “not.” Find common interests and ask questions that interest you; this is a sure way for a man to take his mind off his worries.















Psychologists almost unanimously assert that the beginning of a serious feeling arising in our heart is evidenced by the fact that after a date with a young man, we remember in every detail not our own, but his outfit. Some ladies really claim that this is no longer falling in love, but real mad love. Others shrug their shoulders doubtfully, being living evidence that there are many exceptions, and in general such a rule only works in one direction, because the opposite is not necessarily true. Be that as it may, no matter how well you remember your image as a pleasant memory or no matter how frivolously you treat your wardrobe in general, taking time to select an outfit is simply necessary. Especially when it comes to the first date...

The question of choosing an outfit for the first, and even for the second, third and twenty-fifth important date is worth asking in advance . The latest is the day before (it’s better to spend the evening in pleasant dreams and get a good night’s sleep). We carefully hang out the chosen outfit, check the heels on the shoes, bring cleanliness and neatness to perfection, look for a hair straightener/curlers/lucky comb/favorite set of decorative cosmetics/stylish and appropriate jewelry in advance. We make the most important decision about which scent to wear for the upcoming meeting. It is best to be light and loved by you, but it is also important to take into account the influence of perfume on our mood and on the perception of the male half. Magical Kilian perfume for mystery or a light train of Trezor in love from Lancome for feminine sophistication? All these preparations, from practical actions to the formation of an emotional mood, will help reduce the nervousness of the upcoming meeting, eliminate the creation of an image of ideal perfection in a hurry, when something will certainly fly out of your head, and also reduce the risk of being late to nothing. After all, a girl is allowed to stay only for a period of no more than 15 minutes, and not for a period of 3 times 15... And the chosen one, during the exciting wait, may well work himself up, after which the naturalness and ease in your communication may be in question.

What should a girl look like on the first date? Fashionable, sexy, stunning? The male half of humanity, supported by psychologists and stylists, believes that if a representative of the fair sex expects further meetings and is focused on long-term serious relationships, then the choice of outfit should be in favor of a romantic classic look . The highest rated ideal outfit for a first date is a dress or skirt with a blouse, heeled shoes, loose hair, and in the cold season - raincoats and coats, draped scarves, long but discreetly designed gloves.

Details are worked out taking into account your own tastes and convenience . If high heels make you feel like a tightrope walker, then a good idea is to choose ballet flats in which you definitely won’t fall if you stumble out of the blue.

The most ineffective outfits for a first date, as a rule, include jeans and sometimes trousers, in which contrasting femininity and airiness, sexual lightness do not become direct associations with the overall image. In the overall style of the outfit, avoid pretentiousness; accessories should not be too flashy, at least their number should be moderate. A man should be focused not on the bright accents you place, but on you - on your face, your eyes and lips . By the way, there is no need to prepare all the stocks of cosmetics, but you can’t neglect makeup on the first date.

As for color, then It is best to choose pastel or softened colors . So our beloved black and red turn out to be too “talking” about sex and high ambitions; they may well scare off a man at the subconscious level, and therefore are undesirable. It is also better to exclude pink and yellow - they very openly hint at the frivolity of a pretty woman and push a man to be frivolous or excessively relaxed. In the previously published article “: 11 colors of your sexuality” you will find tips on the effect produced on the stronger sex by other color options. The top choice for a first date goes to impractical white, which men perceive not only as the most feminine option, but also as a compliment - after all, this amazing girl is now with him .

Your and his outfit on a date, his expectations

Let's return to what we can never do without in our lives, to exceptions to the general rules... How successful the chosen outfit will be largely depends on the style of your chosen one (and on the plans for your common day/evening) , and not just from your taste and skills in male psychology. So, if a young man can’t get out of his tracksuit, then you’re wearing dizzying heels, the embodiment of style and the latest fashion trends, and on your first date with him you may well suddenly find yourself “out of style.” The same is sometimes true with regard to the sweet simplicity of a woman’s appearance, when a companion appears in a parade - in shoes polished to a shine, in a tie with a perfect knot and an elegant pin, and, of course, in a suit. A couple that differs greatly in style will look a little funny, and the girl and boy in it will experience a certain awkwardness.

It is worth highlighting separately that at a romantic meeting, a very strong change in image, even if undoubtedly for the better, is not always a good decision . They will recognize you, but by inviting you, it is quite possible that he was tuning in for something completely different. So Miranda, the heroine of the TV series Sex and the City, was once very surprised when a new admirer literally ran away from her, beautiful and perfect, on their first romantic date. It turned out that the whole point was that initially he was captivated by her sweet naturalness and awkwardness - without makeup, disheveled and in a sports gym outfit.

What is he thinking about?

What do women want, what do men think about... You shouldn’t question the Universe by addressing it with such philosophical topics... Your ease and naturalness are the key to success, it’s not the packaging that decides, but how it’s presented. Surveys among men show that a woman they really like is attracted not by anything in particular (outfit, bust or hairstyle), but is remembered by her general image as a whole. It is difficult for men to highlight details, but the first impression of harmony is very important for them. Packaging, presentation... the main thing is the content, your inner beauty, which needs to be emphasized, revealed on the first date and on every next one, only in a different, new way, because a woman is a mystery that a man must solve throughout their life .< div>

It’s worth straightening your shoulders, taking an open pose, looking a man in the eyes, smiling - and consider that a date with him is practically guaranteed. This is where the second question arises: how to properly organize a winter meeting so that you don’t have to regret wasted time later.

According to the rules of etiquette, the first date is best spent in the daytime. This indicates the seriousness of the parties' intentions. Alas, the winter period is characterized by early sunsets, so most likely you will be able to meet after dark. In order to smooth out this moment and not seem too frivolous, accessible and frivolous to a man (and as soon as the sun hides behind the horizon, all women begin to be seen by men in this light), verbally stipulate the limited time of your date. This way, you will kill several birds with one stone: you will relieve the man of the responsibility for having to be with you for too long (and at the first meeting everyone is a little afraid of this), you will have the opportunity to escape if you don’t like the date, and you will minimize the risk of winter discomfort. In the cold season, long walks can be tiring; more often you want to go to the toilet, and generally go home to a light but warm robe, favorite slippers, a blanket and such a cozy night light.

What to wear

Even if you love expression, you should not dress too brightly on the first date, so as not to alienate the man. Let him fall in love first, and then he won’t care what you’re wearing. At the same time, don’t try to radically change your usual image just to please him. Look for a middle ground.

For a first date, it is best to choose clothes in pastel colors. It will help both of you feel more comfortable. To make a man feel more relaxed, as if you have known each other for a thousand years, opt for a less formal option. Of course, it all depends on where you are going. But, in any case, let it be one of your usual and favorite things. This will allow you to act more naturally and avoid the typical first date nervousness. By the way, you shouldn’t expect your partner to comment on your clothes. According to psychologists, it is their absence that will indicate that the outfit was chosen correctly.

where to go

Only 3% of girls, according to statistics, would like to spend their first date in a museum or at an exhibition. The same applies to men. So leave the educational program for the future. Going to the cinema is also not the best option, because you don’t know each other at all yet, so it will be difficult to find a film that would suit both of you. Of the two classic options - a romantic walk or a trip to a cafe - it is better to choose the second. It’s cold and unsafe to wander the slippery streets, but in a small warm restaurant you can relax and enjoy socializing.

Choose an inexpensive, cozy establishment. A tiny cafe crammed with tables and visitors is not the best option, because for a first date it is extremely important to create a personal space in which only you and your partner will be. You will also feel awkward in a chic VIP-class restaurant, especially if you remember that a helpful waiter will come up to you every now and then to inquire about your well-being and wishes. Such a dinner “for three” is unlikely to help you relax and improve relationships.

What to talk about

Each of us expects care from a man. This is true, but on the first date it is the woman who will have to take care of her companion. He will certainly be attacked by tongue-tiedness or shown talkativeness, because men are much more worried when they first meet a woman. Your task is to reassure your counterpart and reduce his anxiety. While eating, men are extremely receptive to information (which is why many of them are able to combine breakfast with reading newspapers and watching the news). Talk about pleasant things, find common ground, try to listen carefully to your partner and actively ask questions that interest you. A man will cling to them as an opportunity to distract himself from anxiety. This is the most favorable moment to find out everything that interests you.

Don't complain or brag. Use the particle “not” less often in conversation. Remember that every man wants to see a woman nearby who is both independent and in need of his care.

To make the conversation more sincere, choose a corner position at the table, to the left hand of the man. Do not sit opposite the interlocutor - this is a negotiating position that is not conducive to a frank conversation. You should smile with restraint, because a smile that is too wide can be taken personally by particularly sensitive individuals. This does not apply to those moments when the two of you laugh at something. In this case, laughter is very unifying.

What to order and when to leave

On a first date, it’s better not to limit yourself to just coffee, but also not to get carried away with full-fledged heavy meals. Salads and dessert are the best choice. These dishes will help you to be remembered in his eyes as truly feminine, and it is femininity that turns men on most of all, forcing you to remember a beautiful image every now and then. If you order too expensive dishes, you always run the risk of having trouble paying the bill; What if your companion doesn’t have enough money to pay? The cheapest menu item can make you feel like you have low self-esteem. So choose dishes that are familiar to you, not too expensive, but not cheap either.

Keep an eye on your partner. Frequently changing positions, leaning back in a chair, looking around - all these are signs that it is time to end the meeting. It is important to leave at the peak of interest in you, leaving only pleasant impressions. You can secure the meeting if the man offers to accompany you. On the way, draw his attention to a building you like, a romantic lantern or a snow-covered tree. Subsequently, when passing or driving by, he will always remember you - this place will become, as it were, a common place, the first anchor of your future relationship.

Today we will talk to you about what to wear and how to behave on a first date with a guy or man, what can be done and what is strictly forbidden, it is better to postpone it until later.

Agree: first date is one of the most exciting social events. As this day approaches, tension and nervousness grows like a snowball. Only one thing is clear: nothing is clear.

To reduce the number of awkward situations to a minimum, one thing remains: carefully consider how to confidently play yourself in this exciting performance and make your own very best.

Before the first date a real lady always calculates all situations in advance. She knows all the answers to all the questions - how to behave when the bill arrives, and how not to die of shame if the cafe she chose for the meeting turned out to be disgusting.

How to behave on a first date with a guy or man?

Choosing a meeting place

If the right to choose a meeting place or pastime is given to you, choose only places or establishments where it is not very expensive. If you are choosing a cafe or restaurant for a first meeting and are completely unaware of the taste preferences of your counterpart, then it will be better if it is not a themed cafe where there is only Japanese or Italian cuisine, but one where there is a classic menu + cuisine from other countries.

Why such difficulties? - you ask. We answer: for men everything is always very complicated. It should not be ruled out that he is allergic to pizza/seafood/sushi/whatever. In addition, vegetarian or raw foodist men are not a myth, but a reality!

Look at the agenda broadly. There is no need to drag a guy or a man to an impressionist exhibition or offer to go skiing (if it happens in winter). Suggest a walk in the park, where there is a lot of entertainment and something that will definitely suit both of you.

Direct meeting with a man/boyfriend

Ideally, you meet at a pre-agreed place and then he accompanies/takes you home. Another good option is that he picks you up near your home and brings you back after the meeting. We also recommend getting in touch on the day of the meeting and confirming that you will attend. Most likely, you will hear/read a text saying that he is going to meet you. If he got scared and his plans changed, you will know about it before you start getting ready for the first date and save time. And in this case, you definitely won’t have to wait for him at the appointed place.

They say that as you age, a first date becomes more like a job interview.

In the cafe

Watch your posture. Constantly.

Sorry to say platitudes, but this is very important. Scarlett O'Hara and other ladies never slouch or put their elbows on the table. Of course, if you get carried away and after some time find that your elbows are on the table, calmly remove them and... think about it tomorrow. (With)

Forget that you have a phone, and it contains the Internet and virtual life. Because the most positive emotion that you will evoke in your interlocutor on the first date (and on the second too) with your phone is boredom.

What to do if a guy/man takes out his cell phone? — Give him a bold minus in a special mental notebook and go out and paint his lips. If he continues to read the feed even when you return, look for ways to retreat citing business, in other words, end the date as soon as possible.

What to talk about on the first date?

Ask questions to your interlocutor and listen carefully to what and how he says. Answer questions about yourself, but make sure that your dialogue does not turn into a monologue: talking only about yourself is bad form. If you feel like the conversation isn't going well, try asking him what he thinks about a movie or current event that's on everyone's lips.

Something like this

Questions you can and should ask on a first date

Here is an approximate list of conversation topics and questions that are convenient to ask a guy/man on a first date.

Where were you born, if you have brothers and sisters, do you play sports/what kind, who is your favorite artist, actor, favorite movie, what music do you listen to, who inspires you/who is your idol, if you have a cat or dog, what your favorite movie, do you like to read, and if so, what was the name of the book you recently read. In general, that's all.

Taboo topics on the first date

  • Policy
  • Religious views
  • Material condition
  • Former
  • If a dispute arises, never, under any circumstances, become personal or use obscene language.

Ordering dishes

Pay attention to the prices on the menu. The fact that a guy or a man has invited you on a date does not in any way mean that you need to use the opportunity to order all the most expensive things for yourself! We also advise you to pay attention to what your MCH or simply H ordered and order the same or similar one. This approach almost guarantees that your dishes will be ready at the same time and the question - is it possible to start if they haven’t brought it - otherwise everything will get cold - will disappear by itself.

From alcoholic drinks, choose something light for a girl and only if the guy also orders alcohol. Under no circumstances drink a lot - one, or maximum two glasses.

On a first date, you make the first impression. And you are a lady, yes.

NB! Be careful with parsley, oregano and other herbs - they stick unsightly to your teeth.

Table etiquette

Just in case, we write: be sure to use a knife. If you ordered a chop, do not cut it into pieces immediately, but cut off one at a time as you eat it.

You received a bill: what to do and how to behave?

Another 10 years, we wouldn’t even write about this - according to the rules of etiquette, men paid. This has been the case since time immemorial, and there was nothing supernatural about it. Nowadays, a man can think anything, even to the point that you came on a date with him to eat normally. Or he may simply be fixated on the fact that since you, say, believe that women have the same rights as men, then you are now paying for yourself, like a dear.

Of course, you are not one of those who depend on other people’s opinions and pay attention to the excessively violent fantasies of individual males, and, most likely, your counterpart is not one of them.

According to the rules of etiquette of our days, when the bill arrives, you are supposed to reach into your purse for your wallet. Most likely, they will stop you and offer you to pay on your own. In this case, do not insist on a separate bill, even if you believe that equal rights should be equal in everything and you do not need to. Thank God you are not in need, but we are talking about etiquette.

If your attempt to pay for yourself on a date will be taken for granted, don't be upset or feel offended. All this means is that the guy/man’s outlook on life is different from yours. That's all. In addition, if you did not order the most expensive dishes (as we advised you), then you can easily pay on your own. Think positively - what a horror, horror and embarrassment it would be if you came to the first date with an empty wallet, ordered all the delicious things, and then... No, this definitely won’t happen to you!

Farewell after the first date

There are only two options - you either continue dating or not, and there is no recipe for how to increase the chances of the next meeting.

Saying goodbye after a first date is one of the most awkward moments, so if you find yourself unsure where to put your hands, that's completely normal.

When returning from a first date, you should (logically) clearly understand whether you want to continue or not. If you want, try to make the guy/man feel it and see your desire in your eyes.

According to etiquette, you should not kiss on the first date (maximum on the cheek and only if the guy takes the initiative).

If you do not intend to continue the relationship, say goodbye to him politely.

What to wear on a first date for a girl/woman

Remember that the words “extravagance” and “elegance” are antonyms.

Dress appropriately for the occasion.

If you have agreed to have a date in a cafe, then clothes in the style smart casual- say, an elegant dress or blouse with a skirt combined with stylish jewelry is your best choice. Shoes can be anything, depending on your preferred style. Denim clothing is very welcome: it is fashionable and stylish.

If you are invited to a restaurant, put on a non-pretentious cocktail dress and elegant shoes on your feet. Instead of tote take a clutch or a small theatrical purse.

Have you been invited to the park? — Wear comfortable shoes, and it will be better if they have flat soles.

From our point of view, on a first date, it is better for a girl or woman to wear a dress or skirt with a blouse/shirt rather than trousers or jeans. Skirts and dresses they look many times more elegant and feminine, and at the same time the overall image is no less seductive. But if you feel comfortable in jeans/trousers, feel free to wear them.

remember, that well-groomed appearance It starts with a manicure and... eyebrows. We won’t even talk about the fact that makeup should be natural or at least not very bright.

Don't wear all the most expensive things at once: modern style is the ability to combine things high end & low end within one image. Let the bag and shoes be expensive. In addition, Ines de la Fressange is sure that a woman in extremely expensive clothes usually looks older than her age. Why do you need this?

Don't be naked. A low neckline, a very short skirt, or shorts that resemble panties are not suitable as clothes for a first date. Why do you need to reveal all the cards at once?

With a lace insert, the main thing is that there is something to “catch onto.” And want to know what your inner world is like.

The success of your meeting largely depends on what you will wear, whether you will be comfortable in it and whether your outfit can quietly tune your partner to the wave you want. Here are some tips that we hope will be useful to you.

1. Little black dress

No matter how trivial it may sound, it is still a win-win option: always fashionable, very feminine, and suits absolutely everyone (the main thing is to choose the style that really suits you).

By the way, black is more of a cliché from a phrase than a mandatory color for a dress (choose the color scheme that you like and suits, as long as it’s not too flashy).

It would be fair to note that, for example, in February, wearing a small dress will not be freezing for long. But no one says that the dress should be made of weightless chiffon!

One of my friends, many years later, cannot forget the image of one girl: “She came in a knitted turtleneck dress and stiletto boots. Only the hands and knees were visible. I've never seen anything sexier!"

2. Two "K"

When it comes to shoes, there are two K’s that reign here – heels and quality. The first drives men crazy (proven by numerous surveys!), the second is visible from afar and is the key to comfort when walking (or while dancing), so wear the best pair.

3. Without jeans - nowhere

For some reason, did you decide that a dress is not your option? Then feel free to wear jeans (the main thing is that they are clean and match your body type, emphasizing your strengths and hiding flaws).

Jeans will help if you are going on a date from the office (taking a dress with you and changing it in a cramped toilet stall is not the most convenient solution).

In addition, jeans are very affordable clothing (today they are appropriate even when going to the theater) and you can choose so many top options for them - from a sexy bustier top to a classic white shirt, the top button of which you will naturally “forget” to button.

4. What is hidden...

Even if it's your first date and you're serious about going home alone, wear your best lingerie set.

Firstly, we assume, and fate has it, that your plans may change (it will be awkward to ask a hot man to wait while you change your underwear); For the same reason, choose the kit. Secondly, the knowledge that you are wearing a beautiful thing under your clothes will give you even more confidence.

Before you leave the house, take a good look at yourself in the mirror from all sides.

The silhouette of the underwear should not be visible through the fabric of the clothing, panties should not be visible from under the trousers, and the bra should not peek out from the neckline (with the exception of dresses that have this option in the cut).

5. Better not

If this is your first date, it is better to avoid: mini skirts (it will be difficult for a man to relax and appreciate you as a potential lover when half the restaurant is looking at your slender legs); a formal outfit (a pencil skirt with a silk blouse is very beautiful, but at first communication it may give the impression of being too strict); sportswear and shoes - no matter what kind of date this is for you (unless he invited you to go hiking in the mountains).

6. Dress yourself accordingly

“First decide who you are, then adorn yourself accordingly,” said the ancient Greek philosopher Epictetus many centuries ago. This remark is also relevant today.

Choose jewelry and accessories based on the look you want on your date. Remember that it is easy to go overboard with decorations.

For a romantic evening, you should give up a large bag - today you are a sexy, in love and very fragile young lady who is not able to lift anything heavier than a spoon, you generally need to be carried in your arms today!

A few more tips:

  • Have you been together for some time? Then surprise him, and he will definitely remember this date! For example: most often he sees you in trousers - put on a dress; If you don’t get out of dark-colored clothes, dress up a little brighter than usual; If you hardly use cosmetics, put on some makeup! And don’t be afraid of experiments: it’s better for him to be surprised than to notice with a smile: “you, as usual, are in gray...”
  • Try to find out more about the place where the date will take place (what if there is a dress code there?)
  • It is very important that you are comfortable in what you are wearing. “Choose the clothes and accessories that make you feel most comfortable. Remain yourself under any circumstances - this is the first sign of style!” – Italians advise Dolce and Gabbana.
  • The fabric of clothing should be pleasant to the touch. Do you want to touch a scratchy sweater or scratch your hand on a metal buckle again and again? Only a bad date is complete without touching, so take care of your partner and make him feel you through your clothes, not clothes without you.
  • And don’t forget that every person has beauty inside, and clothes and jewelry only emphasize it!
