From first date to forever after

MANILA, Philippines - First dates are nerve-wracking. The lady worries about how to impress him, and the gent worries about picking up the tab. This is one occasion that could lead to happiness for a lifetime. That one date could decide your life partner. Therefore, it’s like an investment.

Answer a few questions with a pinch of honesty, and you are halfway there.

First and foremost, where is the date going to be? A dinner date, a movie date or a casual get-a-coffee-and-bite date? Next, let’s check our date attire. Are you more comfortable in pants or skirts? If you are comfortable, you will exude more self-confidence. You will not be fidgeting and appearing agitated throughout the date.

Now, let’s hit the closet to see what is right.

If you are going for a romantic dinner and dance, Jaspal suggests a nice black or red dress as a superb choice. Wear that dress proud with high heels to add the sexy, glamorous touch. Keep it light and elegant.

Now for the men. You can no longer say that fashion is only for the ladies. Today, even the accessories have males in mind. No man is allowed to look shabby, out-of-place and plain anymore. If every woman should have a little black dress, Jaspal says every man should own at least one white shirt. A white shirt is so flexible and can be worn anytime and anywhere.

Play your cards right and there might be a second, third and forever-after dates!
