It is very necessary create a strong first impression and prepare some topics to talk about. 

When you’re going on a date, it’s important to present your best self to make sure that things go well. As long as you’re polite and considerate, show an interest in your date and make sure that they’re enjoying themselves, you’re almost guaranteed to fuel the fires of attraction and score the opportunity of a second date.

Be on Time

You may not have done it deliberately but regardless, arriving late on your first date isn’t the way to create a great first impression. In fact, being on time is one of the most important first date tips for men and women. Even though most people will be polite and not make a big deal about it, showing up on time demonstrates you care and take the person you are meeting seriously. To ensure promptness, I tell my clients to not schedule the actual time of the date on their smartphones but the time they need to leave their home or office to make it at the agreed time.

It will also help to incorporate 10-15 minutes grace time in your calculations to avoid unforeseen circumstances like traffic or parking. If you do arrive late, don’t pretend it doesn’t matter. Apologize right away and let them know this won’t be a regular thing, then move on and enjoy the date!

Get yourself clean

Wear clothing that is eye-catching and complements your figure. Choose an outfit that is appropriate for the venue where you’re meeting for your date. If you’re going to the opera, for instance, break out the fitted suit or evening dress, or wear neatly pressed khakis. A simple button-down shirt or a tasteful skirt and blouse will look great if you’re going somewhere more casual. Your clothing choices should be stylish yet comfortable so that you can look and feel your best all evening long.

• There’s no need to dress to the nines for a light lunch or a coffee meetup. Dress for the specific occasion so that you can show that you’re ready for any situation.

• Wear some color. Research suggests that clothing yourself in bright colors can give you the appearance of boldness and vibrancy.

Dress your best and in what’s appropriate

While looks alone can never hold a man or woman in a relationship for the long term, it does give you an edge if you dress your best for your first date.

For men, I recommend a good jacket or blazer and shirt, even in summer. It gives you a posh, classy look and a robust first impression that women like. I can’t tell you how many of my female clients complain that men show up shabbily dressed on dates without taking interest in their appearance. A good shave is also highly recommended.

For women, a feminine dress, long earrings and open hair are never out of fashion. You don´t want to show up “too sexy or revealing”. Though that may contribute to your sex appeal in front of men, it won’t help you build a real emotional connection with them. Both men and women should dress sharp and crisp and wear what is appropriate for the occasion. Don’t arrive in sandals at a high-end restaurant or walk into a coffee shop in a ball gown. Look fabulous but dress suitably.

Pay attention to your perfume

Smelling good is a turn on for both men and women, and an easy way to make a good first impression. If you take two minutes to put on your favorite perfume before showing up on the date, you´re going to get brownie points. But you want to be remembered for the right reasons – don’t overdo it in your excitement. If you go over the top, that intense smell of too much spritzing can be counter-productive and turn your date off rather than bringing them towards you.

Do something interesting

For your first date, plan an activity in which you can both get involved, rather than just sitting and staring at each other while trying to make conversation. Dinner and/or a movie is a time-honored option, but there are dozens of others: go for a long walk outside, try a new bar or restaurant, get tickets to a sporting event or find a quiet place to sit and watch the sun set.

• It’s a lot of pressure to try to sit and talk for hours with someone you just met. Attending events or participating in fun activities together will help you both loosen up, and you can reserve some time afterward to have some one-on-one interaction.
• The date will also be more memorable if you have something out of the ordinary planned.

Take care of your hygiene — wash your face, comb your hair

It’s hard to be clean and fresh when you’re a busy man. You don’t have time to take care of your hygiene every day, primarily if you work in an office or home.

The truth is that it’s essential to look good for the first date because this impression will stick with them forever. And even if they don’t remember what you wore on your first date, she’ll/he’ll remember how well-groomed you were. We are sure this will be an excellent start to a beautiful relationship.

Be confident and have fun

Dating is hard. First dates are even more complex. Trying to impress a date can be stressful and awkward, especially if you don’t know what they’re looking for. What’s the best way to have fun on a first date?

How do I make it through an entire meal without saying something stupid? Is there any hope of being more than friends after this date? We all ask ourselves these questions when we meet someone new, but few of us have the answers. There’s no need to worry anymore. It’s just simple. Be confident, respectful, and relaxed. Just simple. Don’t worry about anything.

Listen Intently

Both men and women set out to give the best impression of themselves but most of us go about this the wrong way. We talk and talk about ourselves from achievements to our family relationships, hobbies, work, travels, and so on. Don’t. Your date will feel turned off when all you are doing is talking about yourself and showing no curiosity about them.

This goes for both men and women. If you’re only talking about yourself and not showing any interest in what your date has to say, you’ll be viewed as self-involved and this is not attractive to anyone! The bottom line here is to speak about yourself but make sure you’re staying curious and listening closely to what your date has to say. Being genuinely interested in another person is an appealing quality to practice in relationships, not just on first dates and when trying to make a positive first impression.

Look for things you have in common

As you’re talking to your date, pick up on similarities between the two of you. Perhaps you're both dog lovers and can bond over pictures of your pets, or you might discover that you're both die hard supporters of the same sports team. Highlighting what you have in common is the best way to establish a deeper connection. It can also take some of the pressure off conversation starting out, as you’ll find that you have much more to talk about.

• Learn to appreciate your differences, too. If your date doesn’t happen to share your viewpoint on something, don’t automatically count in as a strike against them. Think about how their opinions speak to their character.

Ask for a second date 

If things have gone well, ask your date if they would be willing to see you again at the end of the night. Be assertive and make it known that you’ve had a good time with them. Leave your phone number with your date and encourage them to call or text you, or ask for their number if they seem open to giving it to you. If you’ve made a good first impression, you could be on your way to forming a strong, lasting relationship.

• Try to get a sense of how much your date has enjoyed themselves before asking for their phone number to avoid coming off as pushy.
• Call or text the other person within a couple of days after the date to let them know that you had a good time with them.

Conclusion: If you want to make a good impression on your first date, it’s essential that you’re on time (or early!), dress comfortably but nicely, take care of yourself by washing your face and combing your hair, be confident in who you are without trying too hard or pretending to be someone else just for them.
