Before Tonight’s Date Tip #2: Freshen Your Spiff
Second, race home after work and spiff up a bit before the first meeting date. If you don’t have the time to make it all the way home and then back over to where you’re meeting the lady on your date, then use the gym at your office or stop off and use the nearest branch of the athletic club where you have your gym membership and use the locker room facilities and showers there. Ideally your first date outfit is on a good wooden hanger and hopefully fits in your gym locker so your clothes still look all neat and well-cared for after you dress post-showering.
Guys, I can tell you right now, the ladies already do this. It’s part of our being female. We head home after work and made a point to freshen our personal grooming, touch up our make up, and likely changed into something a bit more romantic than our office work garb. She probably put on a skirt or dress and is looking fabulous.
If you have the time, take a quick shower and take care of that “5 o’clock shadow.” Do add a single splash of your best aftershave. Change your shirt, run a comb through your hair, and do a quick cleaning of your finger nails. Did you know that one of the first things women notice in person with men is their finger nails? You can quickly and powerfully positively impact her impression of you just by cleaning your nails.
Before Tonight’s Date Tip #3: Be the Early Bird
Third, get to your first date venue a little bit early. Sure, we are all facing the evening commute traffic.
By aiming to arrive early, if there is an accident on the freeway, you’ve already allowed for it with your advanced planning. If there is extra traffic tonight, by aiming to arrive a bit earlier than your date time, you’ll still be there on time. Women want to see that the man is already there when they arrive and go up to the hostess station. You can either already be seated and waiting for her. Alternatively, put her at greater social ease by waiting for her at the station. They you’ll be able to greet her standing up. Approach her with a smile and your hand out out to shake her hand and be open to giving her a hug if she is comfortable with that. Let the lady determine how much physical contact she wants with you in those first moments of meeting.

Don’t just close the date with the cliched “I’ll call you” when you have no intention of ever doing so again. Flirt with her just a little with your wit and body language, and then ask her then and there for a second date. That’s why you call her later, to work out the second date details.
If she responds softly with a yes, do move in for a kiss! Now that’s the best way to end and ensure it’s a Great First Date!
