Dates, especially first dates can be nerve wrecking. To stay calm and collected and to be bold enough, I have five tips to build up your confidence before a date.

1. Calm Down

The cycle of excitement and nervousness begins when you have to go out on a planned date. Give yourself time to relax your ragging nerves.

2. Dress Good

Dressing nicely will give a boost to your confidence level. If you dress well you are most likely to feel good.

Make sure you smell great!

3. Stay Open Minded

If you are going on a first date, then you need to get rid of the expectations. We have that ideal type of person we want to be with and makes us decide whether the relationship will work out or not.

Also there is no guarantee the person who fits your expectation will fit your lifestyle. With an open mind, you will be able to discover new things about yourself.
