The first date can be stressful if you are serious about this special man. How you greet, what you wear, your conversation style and even your drink matters. A man makes his decision within the first 10 minutes of meeting you by your overall appearance. Here are a few relationship tips that you can follow for your first date.

Dress

Appearance matters in the first date. He will notice your dress, in fact it's the most important thing in the first date. Depending on what you wear he will label you as a girlie girl or a tomboy. Dress accordingly. He will decide immediately whether he wants to move forward or stop at this date. It's advisable to be yourself in your first date.

Smile

Give a genuine smile when you meet him for the date. While its nice to express your interest in this man, there is no need to appear too interested. Smile and laugh at his jokes only when you find them funny. At the same time don't be too serious. Remember people love to be in the company of fun people.

Your bag

The contents of your bag tell a lot about you. Avoid carrying too many things on your date, as it gives the appearance of a high maintenance person. Most men are afraid to date a high maintenance girl.

Appealing look

Give special attention to your appearance. Dress appropriate to the place you are meeting. Avoid a glam doll look if you are meeting on a coffee date. But if you are meeting at a party take pains to look like you are dressed for it. Otherwise you will feel uncomfortable about your appearance and won't be able to concentrate on your date.

Can you talk?

Talk on a topic only if you have some knowledge on it. For instance if he talks about golf and you don't follow it, tell him you don't have much knowlege on the subject. But do not fake interest on the topic as the conversation may go deeper and you may be embarassed after some time.
