INPUT ARTICLE: Article: While it is important to make a good impression, don't try too hard. Your effort to make a good impression should be subtle, yet noticeable. Aim to find a balance in all that you do to prepare yourself for the date and in your behavior as well. For example, don't wear overly dressy clothes just to make a good impression. Wear something that is nice and comfortable, but also suitable for the occasion. Get clothes that fit you and aren't too baggy or tight. Choose a style that makes you feel comfortable and confident. Don't choose flashy clothing just to make a good impression. You'll feel more at ease and the date will go better if you feel comfortable in the clothing that you're in. If you're a bigger guy, consider avoiding horizontal stripes or clothing that's overly baggy or tight. If you are skinny, consider avoiding the monochromatic look and choose lighter colors and fitted shirts. If you're short, consider accessories like a necklace or watch and avoid wearing big prints or graphic t-shirts. Short rise pants may also help you look taller. Button down shirts, clean slacks, jeans, and clean t-shirts are all good options for a casual dining date. It's important that the outfit you want to wear is clean and pressed. It will show your date that you put in effort to look nice, and may impress them. Wrinkled or stained clothes give off a vibe that you don't care about the date, and that your date's impression of you is not important to you. It also serves as an indication of how organized you are in other areas of your life. The way you smell has a big impact on whether your date will find you attractive. Remember to shower or bathe before your date so that you smell fresh. Wear underarm deodorant if you are prone to sweating, and consider wearing a cologne or a fragrance if you typically have body odor. Don't overdo it on cologne, aftershave, and body sprays. Keep it light to avoid an overpowering scent. Before you make your plan, talk to your parents and ask for permission. Then, talk to your date and ask them what they enjoy doing to get ideas for the date. If you're going to see a show or movie, you can ask your parents to buy tickets in advance just in case they sell out. Planning in advance will show initiative and will put your date at ease. If you want to go to a nice restaurant, be sure to make a reservation. Planning a date will also show that you're confident in your decision making, but make sure to ask your date what kind of things they enjoy, instead of assuming. Keeping your plans for the date a surprise can be a nice way to build excitement, but don't do this if your date doesn't like surprises. Think about how much money the date is going to cost and make sure to bring extra cash to cover all of your expenses. If you don't have your own money, ask your parents to help you. If you asked your date out in the first place, it's good etiquette to cover the costs. It's important to set the pace for the date. Giving them a hug hello might set a friendly tone for the rest of the date or put it in a romantic tone. Don't go for a hug if your date doesn't seem eager to hug. You should be able to notice this if you go for one and they pull back or just stand there. In this case, greet them and start talking to them. Make sure that you talk to your parents before you plan a date to get permission. You should also introduce yourself to your date's parents when you pick them up. Shake their hands when you meet them and explain what your plan for the date is so that they know where you are going. To introduce yourself say something like, "Hello Mr. Green, my name's Gerard and I'm here to pick up Lilly for the movie. How are you today?" Be sure to tell her parents about your plans, but try to keep some of your plans secret from her, unless your date insists on knowing and doesn't like surprises.
