random suggestion for those of us who like to wear a thousand bangles: leave them at home on a first date! wrists are sexy :) sorry just thought i'd add that
Yes Yes for the column because you always post things and situations that hit so close to home! It would be awesome if it was a open discussion board for each topic! That way you could raise a subject and everyone could add in their horrow stories. haha
i would also add, leave the low cut things at home... because it's a lot like the shiney objects, not much else will be looked at..
Haha, I forgot about that! Im so used to looking down and seeing nothing. You know? lol
i love how you say boys are intrigued by shiny accessories. but that's so true, they can be so immature
your tips were well done, and the column would be indeed loved, i'm in the same positions with you. please do the column.
haha i'm lovin this!! especially "as long as you look clean and STD free" brilliant. you should totally do a relationship/advice column...
I'm anxious to see if you post what you actually wore... either way, I'm thinking, you'll knock him on his ass! lol
ew but never lip gloss, that sticky shit is so nasty. Your first date outfits are awesome... for everything :D I wore my studded jeans on my first date, but we're okay. yay.
Yeah NO lip gloss. I forgot that. rofl but they are small studs right? small studs are ok :D

What to wear on a first date
Sep 24, 2008
Now, I might be the last person qualified to write this considering my (non)existent love life. But here goes…
so you’ve FINALLY managed to get that boy to get off his computer and ask you out on a date. Good for you. Who needs to play that much computer games anyway.
The question is, what are you going to wear?
The first impression is always the most important. Whether or not you planned it, the first time they see you in that way, will be how they will remember you forever.
Have you ever had one of those conversations with your boyfriend months later and he says something like “that is not how I remembered you.” Well, this is what he meant.
Here are a few simple tips to keep in mind:
Leave your studded/ zipper/ patent things at home – boys are like small animals. They get easily distracted by shiny things. And although it may be fashionable right now to wear your exposed zips and studs. Trust me, you don’t want to spend the entire night talking about them.
Can you walk? Ok good – it’s so unattractive and high-maintenance looking to be stumbling around in your heels. If you are going to do heels, I recommend a platform for extra balance. In general, wear your most comfy heels and leave your hooker shoes for the hookers – they gotta do this every night!
Mini but not too mini – most boys love skirts. It’s true. And probably, most boys love short skirts. However, make sure you aren’t wearing one of those flash your panties skirts because he could just go down to the street corner and pick one of those up after work (and I don’t mean the skirt!). Man, why did he have to take you to dinner and pay for stuff? Psssssh.
Lipstick or not to lipstick – that is the question. Well, it depends on what your policy is about kissing on the first date. A clear way to send the signal that you DON’T kiss on the first date is to wear lipstick. I prefer Chanel.
Stocking or not to stocking – Ok, so I’m really big on astrology… and accordingly, many males in the zodiac are extremely turned on by stockings. This is true, too. In general I prefer them on night dates because you can wear a short skirt and guarantee you won’t come off the wrong way.
Be comfortable – Remember, there are so many exciting things to think about on your first date, you don’t want to be uncomfortable in your dress! Pants are definitely OK. And so are flats. As long as you look clean and STD free… you are A-OK in my book.
Happy dating!
PS: I’ve been asked by a reader about playing around with the idea of a relationship/advice/dating column. What do we all think of that?
