The first date
What to wear on a first date so you feel like yourself, an easy hairstyle, and the question that gets any conversation going.
- relationships
Wear the kurta or dress you feel like yourself in. A first date is about you, not the outfit.
Most first-date nerves come from trying to be interesting. Being interested is easier and works better.
The moment
Coffee, a walk or dinner with someone new.
- What matters
- Whether you both enjoy talking. Everything else is decoration.
- Safety first
- Meet in a public place, tell a friend where you are, and arrange your own ride.
The look
Yourself, on a good day.
- Modest option
- A comfortable kurti with jeans or palazzos and a light dupatta or scarf.
- Modern option
- A simple dress or a nice top with jeans, and shoes you can walk in.
- Hair
- Open with a side parting, or a loose half-up, the way you usually like it.
The confidence move
Be interested, not interesting.
- Eye contact
- Hold their eyes while they talk, look away naturally when you think. Nobody stares.
- Phone away
- Face down in your bag, not on the table.
What to say first
A question they'll enjoy answering.
- The opener
- Easier than work or family questions.
What's something you're looking forward to this month?
If it goes sideways
A silence, or you want to leave.
- A silence
- Talk about something around you: the place, the food, the music.
- Leaving early
- Kind and clear.
Thank you for meeting me, I'm going to head home now.
Try it today
Prepare two questions.
- Two questions
- Write two questions you'd genuinely like to know about someone. Take them with you.
