Essential Etiquette

Both: Be hygienically clean by taking a shower or bath prior to your date. Wear cologne/perfume/deodorant if necessary. Make sure the clothes you wear are clean, ironed and suit the occasion. Other areas to keep in mind are our teeth, nails, and body odor. Look clean and presentable.

Men: Cleanly shaved or a well-kept look is far better than looking like a caveman (especially on the first date). Hair should be groomed, shoes clean (and polished), and breath clean.

BBW: Not all men prefer BBW to cake on the makeup, in fact most men prefer BBW with light natural makeup so that they know what their date truly looks like. The outfit you choose should be appropriate to the situation, wearing anything that is too revealing may give off the wrong signals so should be best avoided until later on in the relationship.

Tips

• If you are the one organizing the date, dress appropriately and communicate that as early as possible to your date to avoid possible inconveniences.
• Wear clothes that reflect who you are and you feel comfortable and good in, that way there is one less thing to worry about during the date.
• Add some trimmings or accoutrements (necklace, earrings, tie, watch etc.) to add a bit of your own touch to the outfit, it can make a huge impact on your overall appearance.
