leyateresa Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 What is the best thing to wear on a first date to a pub later in the evening? Opinions?
d0nnivain Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 The whole outfit should make you feel wonderful & confident. The material should be touchable -- a soft sweater, a silk shirt, a soft cotton blend . . . 1
Fhsjkfjrhsdh3646 Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Anything casual, but not too casual. Jeans and a nice top would be fine. 3
preraph Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 V-neck or show off your best assets, whether arms, legs, but don't reveal too much boob but just a tiny bit. Wear nice shoes to bring it up a notch, heels or wedges. 3

fitnessfan365 Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) I will admit that if a woman puts no effort into her appearance, it turns me off. Had an awesome first meet with a woman. So I called to ask her out for a dinner date. Normally I wouldn't do that so early on, but I figured rules are meant to be broken sometimes. I casually said "You look so hot in that dress on your profile. I'd love to see it in person." She jokingly said "I bet you would". She wanted to meet there. So I show up a bit early and confirm the reservation. Then I relax outside. A few minutes later she walks up in torn jean shorts, a ratty tie-dye shirt, and worn out flip flops. One way a woman conveys her interest is in how she presents herself. She obviously didn't give a crap about me one way or the other. Instead of showing up in something presentable, she looked like she rolled out of bed for a day at the beach. So I said "They lost the reservation and say it will be an hour wait". Then we walked next door into the mall, I bought her a $5 slice at Sbarro's, and never called her again. Edited March 13, 2015 by fitnessfan365 4
fitnessfan365 Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 this just made my day Haha.. Glad to be of service. There may be some "nice guys" with no balls that would put up with that crap. But I'm not spending $100-$150 on drinks/dinner for a woman that pulled a stunt like that. Luckily I've always been quick on my feet and able to adapt. The look on her face was priceless though because she was obviously looking for a free meal. That's why I gave her one that basically was. 1

fitnessfan365 Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Damn that's smart thinking! LOL!! Was definitely a dating highlight for me. Don't get me wrong. She seemed great on the first meet and I was initially disappointed when I saw her show up dressed like a bum. But it was ultimately satisfying. The look on her face when I took her into the food court at the mall for Sbarro's was hilarious.
Versacehottie Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Top that is sexy without looking like it is trying to be!!! Let the guy see your shape. I think heels--wedges or boots is good for a pub date. Bottom line, as evidenced in above posts, guys want to feel like they are on a date with a prize and see feminine in you. Long hair if you have it. Don't know what the weather is like where you are, but try to show skin (again without trying too hard) if it's not freezing. If it is freezing, make sure you show shape (tight!). A lot of guys will erroneously assume you are trying to hide something (or have a bad body) if you don't show something. That said, pick one. Boobs or legs. Not both on the first date for sure. Tops that can be sexy are low cut but graze rather than be super tight. That's how you look like you are not trying too hard. It gives off the vibe that you look like this all the time and have class where he considers what a future with you would be like (and not be embarrassed to introduce you to friends and family) because you dress too provactively. Or be uninterested because you look like you didn't make an effort or have a frumpy vibe. That scares guys because they don't want a future with a woman who gives up on her looks. All of that said, find an outfit that is something that is not out of the realm you would normally wear. That will feel awkward and unnatural (to both of you). I think the best thing to do is if you are jumping back into the dating pool, gather or go shopping to find a bunch of these things in advance. Also start to dress sexier in your regular day to day so that when you put on a sexier outfit it feels like something you would normally wear. Jeans are good; i saw a statistic once that said jeans are number one thing people wear on a first date. Another statistic I saw also said that most guys remember exactly what their wife was wearing on their first date--so make it memorable and remember you only get one chance to make a first impression. Good luck
Versacehottie Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 oh just saw the ottawa. um, guessing it's freezing. Tight then. Top can be low cut. Tight low-cut sweater without being vulgar is a guy pleaser
Phoe Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 For dates I always wear tight dark jeans, a soft v neck sweater, and boots with a slight heel. And now that I think about it, every first date I've ever had was in the winter, because clearly that outfit would NOT work during the summer

Even if she didn't want to wear the dress that you liked in her profile, she still could've picked out something way nicer to wear, like maybe a mini dress or a mini skirt with a silk tank top or something like that. And I definitely would've worn heels, NOT flip flops! hahahaa Since she wore the beach bum outfit to your first date together, I wonder what she would've worn on subsequent dates?! .

Damn, your description of how you dress is HOT. Extremely feminine and sexy. When a woman takes pride in her appearance, I find that very attractive. It's good to know that you want to look good for your man.

Interesting...maybe this is why I never got a second date from the guys that loved my profile picture on OLD. On my profile picture, I wore a cute dress that was what attracted them in the first place. When it came time to meeting up, I wore jeans and a causal top and dressy scandals. But my top wasn't ratty. It was a top that I wear to work. Do you think I looked ratty by my description? And my scandals were cute.

Well, what you wear on a first date depends on where he's taking you. If your date says he's going to take you to dinner, then you should probably skip the jeans and sandals and go for vava-voom; like a mini dress or a skirt (not too short but not too long either) and a nice dressy shirt that shows off your shoulders, your back or some cleavage. And, you can't ever go wrong with heels...I always feel sexy when I wear heels! @Fitness Fan: Yes, I like to look sexy but classy for any date I go on, if we're going somewhere swanky. It makes me feel good about how I look and it shows my date that I present myself well. Of course, if he's taking me to a sports lounge for a few drinks, out for a walk on the beach at sunset or to a venue that involves physical activity, then I'd dress appropriately for those outings. .

Pauduro Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 I can't stand seeing girls in flip flops walking around in the city, the bottom of their feet are always dirty.
regine_phalange Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 The last time I went to a pub it was a chic one. My then-boyfriend had a very expensive wardrobe because of his job. He was wearing hugo boss shirt and trousers that day. I, on the other hand, wore black short dress and laced boots (without heel). He really loved the way I looked, didn't take his eyes off of me all night. If the man fancies you then whatever you wear is going to be good. It's also a good way to check whether the man is easy going or wants to change you.
