Love is in the air this time of year. If you are headed out on a first date, or even a third, there are a few things you should do to take care of you and make sure you are headed into your date with your mind in the right place.
Set aside time for your mind
Nerves can get the best of anyone, so make sure to carve out a little time to clear your mind. Give yourself plenty of time to get ready, and then extra time to change your mind. Put on your favorite play list and take your time. If you rush yourself, you will not feel put together and prepared. Once your mind is relaxed your body can follow along. Try to keep your body relaxed, to keep your body language open.
Think Comfort not Sex appeal
There is nothing sexier than confidence. So, skip the tight pants that make it hard to breath and the tank top that makes you wonder if you shaved your pits and go for something that makes you feel sexy while also keeps you comfortable. Throw on some extra highlighter and channel your inner Lizzo. You will feel your sexiest and most confident when you are comfortable.
Be yourself
If you’re eyeing the bacon and blue cheeseburger but are feeling pressured to order a salad, or you’re super passionate about being vegan but are worried about telling your date, try to push those nerves down and be true to who you are. If they can’t accept you based on something as simple as what you order you are sure to run into even more problems down the road.
Before you head out the door give yourself a mental pep talk. You are fabulous. Whether you laugh really loudly or love to wear see through acid washed t shirts, you don’t need to change who you are in hopes of impressing someone else. The right person will be totally into you because you’re you.
