Dating Advice: First Impression is Everything

Learn how to iron, if you can’t hit up your dry cleaner…seriously. You may think hanging your clothes in the bathroom while you showered worked, but it probably didn’t. First impression is everything, so make sure whatever you choose to wear is freshly pressed to perfection.

Make A Great First Impression On a Date

Be yourself. Yes, easier said than done, but if you have a strong sense of self, once you get over your nerves, you should be able to settle into your actual and true personality. Don’t try to be someone else or make jokes that are inappropriate, because even a stranger can tell when someone is putting on pretenses. Sure, jokes are fine, but make them jokes that you, the person you are, would tell. There’s no worse injustice than not being you.
