This is the part that’s most annoying and time-consuming. The moment we say yes to a date, we begin stressing about how to dress. Finding the right balance between looking neither overdressed nor like we don’t care about this date at all is one tough job. Know the best thing to do in such a situation? Pull out the attire from your wardrobe that you feel most comfortable in.

It can be a dress or a simple pair of jeans with an oversized hoodie. And for guys, go for your overused, year-old linen t-shirt if that’s what makes you feel like yourself the most.

 

 

Have a few questions ready

In order to avoid the awkward silence where you both can’t come up with anything to say, have a few questions ready in your head. Anything that lets them know you’re interested in getting to know them better would work. Make sure you don’t put them in a tough spot with any question that may be profound. The two of you can discuss your families, pets, college life, dreams, etc.

Such topics also help people build a strong mental connection.
