chris250 Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Should a man dress up in a suit for the first date? What if I'm just meeting her up at starbucks for coffee?
norajane Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Unless you're coming from work and wear a suit there, it's pretty silly to dress in a suit for Starbucks. Wear a nice shirt or sweater and pants, or nice shirt/sweater and jeans to Starbucks.
SoStupid Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Leave the suit. Just dress nicely and make sure you smell very nice.
BrooklynBridge Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Should a man dress up in a suit for the first date? What if I'm just meeting her up at starbucks for coffee? I wear a suit everday to work, so if we'd be meeting up right after work, I'd be wearing a suit. But in general, if it's a weeknight, I'd still keep my suit on, that's how I always dress, part of my style, so the venue of the date really doesn't effect the thought process of the outfit to wear....
alphamale Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Should a man dress up in a suit for the first date? only if going to the best restaurant in town....for a 1st date i would recommend dressy casual clothes and a moderate restaurant
BlueHarvest Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Unless you make it clear that your date will be on your way home from work then don't show up in a suit. It might make her feel uncomfortable because I doubt she'll be wearing matching apparel and then she'll feel under-dressed, which will only further her discomfort of the situation. And like Alpha said above me. Unless you intend on lengthening the date by going to an upscale resteraunt then don't show up in a suit.
tincanman99 Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 I wear suits every day as well. I would not wear one out unless it was on the way home from work or you were going to a very high end restaurant. Most restaurants in the city wont force a suit and tie any longer. It might scare her if you show up that way and its not appropriate. I personally think its over kill.
Ruby Slippers Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 I would think it was overkill unless you just got off work. It would feel like a job interview.
D-Jam Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Should a man dress up in a suit for the first date? What if I'm just meeting her up at starbucks for coffee? Dress to the occasion. Starbucks...I wear a nice button up shirt with fitted jeans and nice shoes. Dinner date...maybe the same thing with a sport coat. Formal event...suit. Many guys think dressing up will impress and be an instant happy ticket for women...but on a first date you can more scare her than impress her. Dress for the occasion. Show her you're relaxed, fun, stylish, and comfortable.
Author chris250 Posted November 25, 2008 Author Posted November 25, 2008 What if I wore a nightstick on my belt to the date?
norajane Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 What if I wore a nightstick on my belt to the date? What if you left it in the car? Or your locker at work?
edinsvet Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 I wouldn't suit up for starbucks. Unless as mentioned before you needed to wear one for work. Wear something that fits you nicely, and that you feel like you look really good in. If you have a nice watch wear it. Smell good, brush your teeth, groom yourself, make yourself look your best and Wear nice shoes! I have no idea why, but shoes are really important to a lot of women. (if you don't have a $600 pair of Prada shoes, at least polish what you do have). Anyway look like you want to be there. I usually tell them I am still learning about style, and that she seems to have a really good sense of style. Then I ask her what style she thinks looks the sexiest on a man. This will tell you what you need to wear for the second date. Also, I find it kind of fun dressing like what they think is the most sexy. Sometimes it is things I never even thought of before, and I find a new style that I like. Anyway if you don't ask you might wear something that will totally turn them off. Some girls like wierd hipster dudes, and think guys in a suit are dorks. Other girls think a man in a suit is the sexiest thing in the world, and would never date a guy that looks like a rebel.
