Summarize the following:
Take a hot shower, wash your hair and brush your teeth. You're going to want to make sure that you're clean, fresh and ready to put your best foot forward from the skin outward. It can be awkward going on a date with someone who smells bad or has food stuck in their teeth, so start by taking care of your basic hygiene needs. Washing up isn't just about making yourself presentable; the cleaner you are, the more put together you'll feel. Put on deodorant and give your mouth a quick rinse with some antiseptic mouthwash. You'll be thankful you did once you and your date get up close and personal. Wear clothing that is eye-catching and complements your figure. Choose an outfit that is appropriate for the venue where you're meeting for your date. If you're going to the opera, for instance, break out the fitted suit or evening dress, or wear neatly pressed khakis. A simple button-down shirt or a tasteful skirt and blouse will look great if you're going somewhere more casual. Your clothing choices should be stylish yet comfortable so that you can look and feel your best all evening long. There's no need to dress to the nines for a light lunch or a coffee meetup. Dress for the specific occasion so that you can show that you're ready for any situation. Wear some color. Research suggests that clothing yourself in bright colors can give you the appearance of boldness and vibrancy. After you've cleaned yourself up and selected the perfect outfit, take a last look to ensure that the rest of your appearance is in order. Style your hair to make it neat and attractive. Trim your fingernails if they're too long, or paint them to be more eye-catching. And, of course, remember to put on deodorant before you head out the door. Assume that every detail of your appearance will be noticed. That way, you won't miss anything when getting ready. Feel free to spritz on a subtle scent before your date, but go easy. Too much cologne or perfume can be overpowering. Be prepared to do a lot of smiling. If you're nervous or feeling uncomfortable, don't let it show. Instead, keep smiling and act natural. Not only will smiling make you more attractive to your date, it can improve your own mood, as well. Smiling displays positivity and trustworthiness, and tells people that you're fun to be around. If you're nervous before or during the date, smiling can help keep you at ease.

summary: Get yourself clean. Pick out a sharp outfit. Style and groom. Put on a smile.

Always maintain excellent hygiene for the workplace and whenever you meet with a potential employer or client. Take a shower, brush your teeth, style your hair, and make sure your nails are well groomed. You can also do your makeup if you like wearing makeup, but keep it simple and understated. If you wear nail polish, stick with clear or neutral colors. Avoid wearing bright or bold nail polish in the workplace. Less is more with makeup in the workplace! Opt for a tinted moisturizer or light foundation and some neutral lipstick. If you wear eye makeup, stick with a neutral, matte shade of eyeshadow and a coat of mascara. Get regular haircuts to keep your hair looking nice. You may wear your hair down to work as long as you keep it brushed and out of your face, or you can pull it back into a ponytail, bun, or braid. Avoid wearing items that are too small or large on you. This will result in a sloppy look, which can reflect poorly on you in a professional setting. Employers and clients may see this as a lack of effort, which can subconsciously reduce their confidence in your abilities. If you have lost or gained weight, look through your wardrobe to see what items you ought to retire. For example, if you have several items that are 2 sizes too big, you may want to donate or sell these and replace them with items in your current size. If you notice any wrinkles in your clothing, iron them before you wear them in a professional setting. Never go to work or an interview in wrinkled clothing because this sends the message that you are not detail-oriented. It can also reduce the employer's confidence in your abilities. Having a neat and stylish appearance will help to communicate to others that you are a professional. Check for stray threads, tears, and pilling on any items that you plan to wear to work. If an item is damaged, you can try to mend it or you can replace it. However, never wear a damaged piece of clothing to work as this sends the message that you don't pay attention to details. Don't pitch everything in your closet just because it has a small defect! You might be able to do a simple fix on some items in your wardrobe, such as by sewing up a torn seam, cutting off stray threads, or replacing missing shirt buttons. Wearing a tasteful necklace or pair of earrings is appropriate for women in the workplace. However, wearing lots of jewelry can be distracting. Stick with simple jewelry and accessories, such as a pair of stud earrings or a delicate necklace. If you like to carry a purse, get a stylish black handbag to store your items.

summary: Practice good hygiene and grooming. Make sure that your clothes fit you well. Iron your clothes so they are wrinkle-free. Check your clothing for damage regularly and mend or replace damaged items. Keep jewelry and other accessories to a minimum.

Summarize the following:
Avoid wavering and appearing indecisive, which can confuse the other person. If you're firm when you turn them down the first time, you probably won't have to have the conversation twice. An ambiguous reaction from you could make the person feel like they still have a chance, which wastes their time and isn't fair to them. It also increases the likelihood that you'll need to repeat this awkward conversation with them in the future. Approach them with a smile and keep your demeanor as calm and relaxed as possible. Use positive body language, such as sitting or standing up straight and looking the other person directly in the eye, to convey that you are serious. Negative body language, like slumping or not looking them in the eye, indicates a lack of confidence in your own words. If you truly aren't interested in dating this person, make that fact clear. Statements like "I'm too busy with work right now" or "I just got out of a long term relationship" may seem like kind responses, but to the other person this could sound more like, "Ask me again in a few weeks." Avoid making it sound like there is a possibility for a future date, especially if you know there isn't. Don't continue to stay in contact with a person that you have zero plans to ever actually date. Sometimes it can feel good being around someone who you know really likes you, but unless you are serious about returning the sentiment, you are simply feeding your own ego by doing it. Don't re-initiate communication unless you're really interested. It can be tempting to reach out to someone who you've turned down in the past, especially if you are going through a rough patch yourself. Unless you are truly interested in the person, there is no need to call, text, or even be Facebook friends with them. The infamous drunk dial (or text) is a common way people end up re-initiating contact. A momentary lapse of judgement on your end can cause a lot of confusion and despair for someone else. You'll also be putting yourself in the position to have to reject them again. Do you really want to be friends, or are you just trying to spare the other person's feelings by saying so? If it's the latter, just don't say it. If you truly do want to remain friends, give the person some space after you reject them. Give them a chance to get past their bruised ego and embarrassment. It's possible that the other person may not feel capable of being friends because of their romantic feelings for you. If that's the case, you will have to respect that.
summary: Be firm and absolute. Speak kindly and directly. Don't offer false hope. Move on. Avoid the friend-zone unless you actually mean it.
