Have you ever felt nervous and overwhelmed on the eve before an important or exciting date? You could be nervous because you are just jumping back into the dating world. This can often be a daunting experience. Or, it’s possible that you are desperate for it to go well which is putting your nerves on edge. Regardless of the situation, there are steps that you can take to calm your nerves and ensure that you do make the right first impression with the right level of confidence. Here are our suggestions.
Focus on what you love
Everyone has an area of themselves that empowers them with more confidence. This could be your eyes, your hair or a certain part of your body. Once you find this area, then it’s important to focus on it when you are getting ready for your date. Choose a new outfit that shows off that element of your figure. Or, if it’s your nails use acetone to get rid of old nail varnish and dress them up so that they look amazing. The little details can do wonders to your levels of confidence.
Have a killer getting ready routine
Going on a date should be fun, so make it so. Get ready in a way that makes you feel good about yourself. Put on some music, do a little self care and dance around. Choose your favourite clothes and give yourself some TLC. I promise it’ll help.
Have an early tipple
We’re in no way suggesting that you get drunk before your date. However, there’s no harm in having one before the date begins. This is a great way to loosen your nerves and ensure that you feel more relaxed. Or, if you want the healthier option, try meditating or even have a play. Masturbation can be incredibly relaxing and if you try this before a date then you will probably feel far more at ease.
Plan different exits
Finally, it’s possible that you’re nervous about the date because you’re worried it’s going to go badly. If that’s the case, then you should plan a date with sections such as dinner, entertainment and an activity. This gives you various points where you can duck out of the date if things aren’t going well. Don’t forget to have a friend ready to call with an excuse to get you off the hook too. This isn’t mean, it’s expected these days and a far better option than prolonging an evening that isn’t going well.
Now you know some of the best ways to prepare for a date if you are feeling just a little nervous. Don’t worry, we’re sure whoever you’re meeting will absolutely adore you. If that’s not the case, then it is certainly their loss. You just need to keep moving forward.
