Hes invited me out into town for what he said "shopping, Starbucks stuff like that". I'm really nervous and Need some advice past the whole be yourself thing. I was worrying about what to wear to cus I wanna dress nice but not too try hard. Any faux pas or things I should avoid. Also he hasn't been talking to me as much recently and just asks if I'm looking forward to it, is there anything to this ? Any advice is welcome and if you've got any tips or stuff please let me know it's my first ever date and I don't want to look like an idiot especially as he's older than me. X Reply to this Question

Also, you must be yourself! Dont try to be something your not, he asked you to go on this date therfore he wants you, dont be acting different. On my first date, i was totally nervous but as conversation flows the more relaxed you feel.
Clothes wise you dont want to look too dressed up as your only going shopping right? I would go for either a pretty floral dress with tights, or some skinny jeans, a tee and a blazer? Keep it casual with a bit of chic :)
& He's probably keeping quiet because he's as nervous as you are, dont worry.
TIPS
1 - Play hard to get, dont be too easy and let him chase you.
2 - Pay attention, if he notices you paying attention he will most likely want to see you again.
3 - Have a sense of humour, your both nervous as each other so to calm the nerves tell a funny story thats happened to you, the first date is about getting to know eachother.
I hope this helped.
Good Luck :-) x

i know you must have butterflies in your stomach whenever you think about it. its completely normal to feel really nervous. i remember the feeling well!
well i know you don't want to hear but do be yourself. its really important because otherwise you won't seem like your acting natural.
maybe hes talking less because he's a bit nervous too?
well as for what to wear... just dress quite casual. maybe be a bit smarter dressed than your normal day to day wear but don't be going out fancy.if i were you i'd probably go with skinny jeans and a smartish top. and i'd probably just wear flats if you are planning to wander about shops.
and during the date don't be constantly thinking about what hes thinking about you. just try to relax and remember that he's asked you out because he likes you!
and just be honest with him if you are feeling a bit nervous and say you are. chances are he'll think its cute and flattering that he makes you nervous.
hope it all goes well :)
xx.
