12 components of a successful date and a romantic dinner
1. It will be best if you send a beautiful invitation card to your date;
2. Call your date a taxi to avoid belated arrivals;
3. Order flowers (you can use quality rented paper flowers for decoration);
4. Tidy up your apartment: if you want to have an apple-pie order in the house, order cleaning service;
5. Buy and arrange candles (opt for scented);
6. If there’s not enough light, light up a few lamps but they should not be too bright;
7. Carefully select quality music equipment for the appropriate musical atmosphere: you can play music from your laptop but it’s much cooler to have a beautiful turntable. You can create two playlists - one for the dinner and the other for the continuation of your date.
8. Buy a nice table cover, dishes and other utensils.
9. Place humidifiers with pleasant essential oils around the room:
10. If you want to cook your romantic dinner in time without much trouble, borrow or purchase necessary modern kitchen appliances;
11. Choose light dishes with natural aphrodisiacs, like avocado, wild rice, eggs, honey, almond, greens, oysters and other seafood.
Among the fruits it’s worth mentioning coconuts, bananas, strawberries, mango.
It’s incredible but onion and garlic are also strong aphrodisiacs!
Here’s your ideal list of dishes for a romantic dinner: seafood and mushroom salads with green veggies, baked sea fish, shrimps on sticks, fresh vegetables and fruit, strawberry with whipped cream.
12. Purchase a bottle of quality wine to go with your dishes.
Keep a bottle of champagne in the fridge for later.
Tips for Him
• Order a table in a good restaurant and try figure out whether you can afford it;
• choose neutral clothes: nice pants, a button-down shirt, elegant pants with a polo shirt, dark socks and classy shoes;
• Shave yourself: you can use electric shaver for a well-groomed stubble look;
• Pick an quality perfume with an attractive bouquet, but do not abuse it;
• wear a nice watch.
Pay attention to your behavior:
• behave naturally;
• do not tell her a lot of your past memories;
• do not be tedious and boring;
• try to show that you are a little nervous;
• make yourself believe that she likes you!
What can you give her on a first date:
• flowers;
• a plush toy;
• a heart-shaped keychain or any cute clothing accessory;
• sweets - chocolate is a timeless classics;
• a quality cute souvenir;
• perfume;
• beautiful underwear.
Tips for her
• Body: make manicure and pedicure.
• Hair: experiment with your look in the beauty salon: refresh the hair color, do the highlights, but do not change your look drastically.
• Face: it's time to visit a beautician, but do not do face cleaning right before the date, opt for a mild peeling instead. This way your skin will look fresh and beautiful.
• Make-up: choose a nude make-up, but do not put too much of it (better visit a proven makeup-salon). Even if your date is in the evening, a bright evening make-up will be extremely inappropriate in a movie theater, a plain coffee house or in the Botanical Garden.
• Outfit: it largely depends on the format of your date. He might choose to arrange your first date as a climbing or a carting adventure, so an evening dress and stilettos shoes would look weird and out of place. On the other hand, going to an expensive restaurant in jeans is also a bad idea. The same could be said about walking in the park in the evenings wearing platform boots and a mini skirt. Therefore, simply ask him where you would go, don’t be shy!
• There are several types of versatile outfits: for example, classy pants with a cute turtleneck, a blouse and/or jacket top are appropriate almost everywhere. In combination with comfortable, but beautiful and stylish shoes you could rock this look both in restaurants and hiking sites.
• Perfume: light and unobtrusive, but attractive. Do not shower with perfume!
Best gifts for him for a first date:
• A souvenir: a simple and original way to show attention to a man would be a statuette, a small picture, a beautiful magnet, a keychain with a unique detail corresponding to his hobby.
• A book: the most important thing is to choose his favorite genre and make sure that this book is not yet in his home library.
• Impressions: tickets to the cinema, to the concert, to the skating rink, to the exhibition, to the zoo, to a football match or to the party. A good idea is doing something together, like bungee-jumping, visiting the quest room, or travelling to a different city.
• His favorite movie or music on a DVD: such a gift will appeal to a true music lover or a movie fan.
What gifts (to Guys) should be avoided on the FIRST date:
• expensive gifts (perfume, wallets, watches, jewelry), even if you can afford it;
• what he definitely would not like (if the young man, for example, is afraid of heights, he will not be able to share your joy from bungee-jumping);
• gifts that mean to much (with declarations of love, plans for your future life together, etc.).
