What should you wear on that first dinner date?

That first date can be nerve wracking...  

Professional Matchmaker, Janice Spindel has some tips for women getting ready for that first dinner date:

• What to wear: Something feminine and stylish – but not revealing. It should be a dress or a skirt and heels are a must. 

• How to get there: Traditionally, you should let the man pick you up and drive. If you met this person on line or don’t feel comfortable – you’ll have to meet him there instead.

• What to eat: Do NOT eat ahead of time and then just pick at dinner. Men love women who eat. It shows they are ready to enjoy life and what they have to offer.

• What to say: Choose easy topics. Sports, travel, friends or your hometown are all good choices. Do NOT talk about your ex, your kids or anything negative.

• What to pay: Nothing. Men surveyed say they expect to pay for dinner and it’s a sign the woman doesn't like him if she wants to pay for part of the bill. Feel free to pay for dinner on the third date, if you really want to.

• Where to go later: Home – alone. If the date went well you will have plenty of time in the future to invite him in for a nightcap.
