1. The pregame: Get a self-esteem booster

Start with yourself. To ease those butterflies right before the first date, get yourself a self-esteem pump up! It's all about getting your mind right. Your date will quickly recognize if you feel confident in your skin, your appearance can initiate a huge impression in a non-verbal way. 

How to do this?

1. Exercise a few hours before the date starts - even if it's just a walk down the streets or in the park. This will make you feel healthy, energized and get your endorphins flowing. Perfect conditions to create a sense of well-being and impress your date.

2. Listen to your favorite playlist while getting ready. 

2. Get your date look Which songs always bring you into a good mood? Just sing along, dance and—as a charming and useful side effect—feel happy. 

3. Create a list with three awesome things about yourself, even when it's only in your mind, and play them up on the date. Think about your best characteristics. Do you have the ability to make people laugh?  Use these things as an advantage. This also works out for physical properties you can play to the gallery. 

The mindset is one of the fundamental preparations. If we enter into a date feeling unworthy or defeated, those feelings will be hard to grow out of and accompany you through the whole date. Allow yourself to hope for something great: Get ready to have a perfect time!

Take your time to get physically ready. Your looks are part of the essentials of your date prep (this counts for men and women alike). You don't know what to wear? Remember this tip: Think of your favorite photo of yourself. If somebody would ask you to show them the best picture of yourself, which one would you choose? You can also request a friend which photo they think of when hearing this question. Ta-da! Problem solved! This is an outfit that makes you feel comfortable and looks suitable for outsiders. Just pray that it's's clean and ironed if your date is today.

So, to have enough time for this part of the prep, don't sandwich your date in between other appointments so that you won't be time-pressured.
In general, what you are wearing should match the date activity you both agreed to. Don't be overdressed, yet also not like you give a damn about your looks. (No high heels on a hike, no hoodie in a restaurant)
