hi everyone last night the girl i really like basically told me she liked me cause she is having a party which shes invited me to and she asked me about some people who i know if they would come and i said that its her party and its up to her who she invites and to me it wouldn't matter whos there as long as she is and she said that she feels exaclly the same:)and ive been smiling ever since she told me that.

we speak everyday and i was going to see if she wanted to go to the cinema with me tomorrow evening if shes not doing anything. i haven't had a first date before which is quite sad but i don't care cause im glad that my first ever date will be with her.

i want to know what should i wear? either a hoodie, jeans and converse? or a v neck jumper with a shirt (untucked) and a tie with black trousers or jeans and converse? which is better for a first date?

thanks everyone

Jeans and a nice tshirt, something simple if you're going to the cinema, but it also shows you made some effort. Its important you feel comfortable too, so don't wear clothes that are tight. Do Not wear a hoodie on a date this shows no effort made and don't wear a tie, this is too formal.

I think the tshirt and v-neck jumper are the way to go, it say its an important date, but not too important if you know what I mean because it is your first date with her.

Most importantly, she'll be there because she is interested in you so don't stress too much about your appearence.

Relax, enjoy your date and good luck.x

k_c100 agony auntA hoodie is a bit too casual and well you must know the stereotypes of hoodies in the UK, probably not a great idea for a date!

But then again a tie is far too formal, and black trousers would probably be too formal as well (if you are talking about black suit trousers).

But jeans, jumper and a shirt would look nice, although it may be a little old for you? I dont know what your personal style is and what your body type is so it is hard to advise you on clothing.

So all I suggest is just to be yourself - wear whatever you like and think makes you look the best! Think about what you would wear the the cinema with your friends, and then maybe just wear something similar but smartened up a little bit. She will probably wear jeans and a top, or maybe a dress if she likes dresses but jeans are more typical for girls when they go to the cinema. So for you, jeans and a cool T-shirt would be fine, or a jumper if you prefer.

But the most important thing to remember is to wear what you would normally wear, dont try and be something you're not. Make sure you are comfortable and confident in your clothes, thats all that matters. A person's clothing reflects their individual style and their tastes, and that is definitely a good thing! So dont try and change yourself just for one date, I know you want to impress her but she wants to get to know the real you, not some uncomfortable guy in suit trousers and a tie!

Be yourself, wear your favourite outfit so you give yourself a good confidence boost and just enjoy it - what you are wearing is not that important (unless you turn up looking incredibly scruffy, or in some crazy gothic/punk outfit!) - she will be more interested in getting to know you and talking to you than what you are wearing. Stick with a style that you wear frequently and represents you the best, and that will be more than fine.

One little tip - make sure you put some aftershave on, but dont over-do it! Girls love a guy that smells nice, she will definitely want to get closer to you in the cinema if you are smelling good! But dont put half a bottle on as I have walked pasy many guys where they have worn way too much and it hurts your nose just to breathe in around them!

Good luck with your date!
