Omg. You are going on your first date with the guy you've been totally crushing on.

You are already day dreaming about the date. How will it go? Is this the story you are going to tell everyone at your engagement party?! 

I am the Queen of questioning, overthinking, and over planning. So fear not, everything will be just fine! So before you start planning this elaborate wedding with the love of your life, let's get through this date!

If my life were in 80's movie or a totally clichéd rom-com, I'd want my first date or any for that matter to be full of romance, flowers, and a kiss in the moonlight.

What was my first date like?
Well, my first date ever definitely wasn't the best I ever had that's for sure.

It was my Freshman year of college and my love life commenced once I moved out of my small town and entered college.

Although the guy turned out to be a complete jerk who was dating someone else and lied about it in the end and so much more drama (clearly, I hold no resentment), my first date was fun, casual, and totally not worth the stress and freak outs.

He picked me up. We went to play pool which I totally stink at. Then, we went out to eat. Conversation, flirting, blushing. Looking back at it, it was definitely a great learning experience.

For me, the most nerve-wracking part of the experience was what to do at the end of the date.

Do you kiss? What does that stare mean? Did he have fun? Did you have fun? Omg, does my breath smell? Do you text him after? Does he text you after? 

WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN?!

I totally did not kiss this guy (thank you Jesus) but just casually ended the date with a "I had a great time, and I'll see you in class". I was completely smitten after it and had a blast but that ended as soon as I realized how much of a jerk he was.
K. I'm done, I swear.

So, for you lovely darlings going on a date, I only hope for a fabulous night and a better ending than mine! 
Here are the answers to your most troubling questions before going out on your date!

Where will you go?

Unless your date has established it will be a surprise, definitely determine the location so you can plan your outfit. Don't be nervous, just ask! A simple, "what's the dress code?" will end your worries. Wherever it may be, make sure to just have fun!

What do I wear?

I'd love to do a more detailed post on outfit options, but my best recommendation: anything comfortable and cute! Don't go heavy on the makeup or your outfit. If you're like me, you're going to be super nervous, the last thing you need to do is worry about your fake eyelash falling out, falling on your face from not knowing how to walk in heels, and so forth. This person is lucky to be going out on a date with you, trust me the last thing they will be focusing on is if you blended your eyeshadow correctly. But do blend, girl.

What about the kiss? Will there be one? Should I make a move?

I'm all for assertiveness and if you like something go for it. Coming from a girl who didn't do this on my first date, I can't help you completely in that department. But if you don't, it definitely doesn't make or break the whole date. If things went well, trust me, you will know if kissing is going to happen. Either you or him will totally make the move. Go with your gut and do what you feel comfortable with. 

Not sure if you should? Don't do it. Maybe it will happen on your second date!

Nevertheless, my favorite quote could also give you an answer...
"A girl worth kissing is not easily kissed".
