Best First-Date

Q: You just arrived at your date. We've all heard that first impressions are everything, so do you read a lot into how she's dressed?

Stephen: I do expect her to be made up a bit since she's still in that "must impress my date" phase. Which I am, too, of course.

Brett: Absolutely. If she doesn't make an effort to look good on the first date, how do you think she'll look three months down the road when she's "comfortable with you"?

Arthur: But girls who are too made-up are usually more high-maintenance. A big turn off for me is girls with overly manicured eyebrows. That's a bad sign. That means she spends a lot — a lot — of time on her appearance. Q: Where do you take her on a first date—and why?

Stephen: A restaurant is kind of a given. You don't want to pick someplace too fancy. After the initial "wow" factor wears off, you'll both probably be uncomfortable.

Arthur: I prefer going for a drink or two because there's less pressure, but assuming it's dinner, I'll pick a slightly hole-in-the-wall ethnic restaurant. That lets me see what she's made of!

Brett: Either way, letting her pick the location is a bad move. You want to be in your element. If I'm at a restaurant that I'm familiar with, I'll be more confident.

Q: How can a woman impress you on a first date?

Stephen: Be polite to the staff. I've been on dates where the girl thought I cared about which fork she was using, but then she turned around and snapped at the waitress. That was it for me.
