Shallon's Rules for Dating: Dressing for a First Date

It doesn't matter if you've know your date for 13 years or you've never seen each other in person—what you wear and how you look is HUGELY important.

Now, I like to dress like a tramp. Seriously I do. Bebe dresses are kind of my favorite, and I take no pleasure in admitting that. If it were up to me, I'd wear the shortest, tightest, sluttiest thing on every single date, but I'd also be boyfriendless. Sure, they love it, but not on a potential GF.

My go-to look, if I were allowed

Here's how to tweak your style to up the chances of a second date, and lower your odds of him just wanting to bone you after dinner and never call again!

 

Clothes:

A man's favorite outfit on a girl (besides whipped cream)? Jeans and a tank top, for the same reasons casting directors insist models wear this very outfit—so they can see your body.

For those bitches without muffin tops

But that's not always your most comfy/ flattering option. If you hate jeans (as I do) go with a dress NO MORE than 3 inches above the knee (I know, I hate it too) and pair with tights if the weather is cold.

You see boring, boys see future wife!

Basically, dress as though his mom might join you for dessert.

 

Shoes:

For god sakes, make sure you can walk in them. A man doesn't give an F if they're Manolos, Loubs or anything else he can't pronounce. But he does care if he has to hold you up like a foal learning to walk all night long.

Spoiler alert: guys find Gaga disgusting!

Makeup:

I love me some seriously smoky eyes and over-glossed lips. My boyfriend? Not so much. Boys definitely do not understand 99% of makeup "trends" so don't bother trying to craft the perfect cat eye or matte red lips. They don't like it. Biologically speaking, evolution programmed men to love big bright eyes (Visene, black liner, black mascara), rosy cheeks (blush on the high apples of your cheeks close to the eye, which are associated with a youthful look) , and wet lips (gloss) since it reminds men of when a woman's other lips get, ahem, wet.

I don't like her, but dudes do.

 

Hair:

One word: touchable! Stiff, fried, frizzy or fuzzy hair need not apply in Shallon's Perfect First Date World.

I won't lie, I'd do her.

 

And there you have it! Next week I'll illuminate the do's and don'ts of first date conversations, get excited!
