Just be yourself! If he dosnt like you for you, then hes not worthy of your time! As for what to wear, why not a nice top with jeans, or a smart cute dress?

stina agony auntHi Anonymous,

What about a nice sundress with some strappy sandals? That's casual, but nice. I suggested yesterday for someone to check out http://anthropologie.com - they have lots of really nice sundresses, but they can be rather pricey. Then there's always urban outfitters, they're the less expensive version of anthropologie. (Okay, I got sidetracked and saw this* really pretty dress. Maybe something along those lines? Flirty, classy and casual, but a bit pricey. Maybe you could find something similar at a store near you?)

As for how to act - act like yourself. Be polite and sound interested in him - ask questions about him - what he does for fun, what kind of music he's into, etc. You might even figure out what to do as a next date. Maybe he's into art - you can suggest going to an art museum. At the very least you can tell him what kind of art you enjoy. Stuff like that. And also remember it's okay to have a silent moment or two. You don't want to talk just for the sake of talking! It'll become awkward, you know?

Main thing is to try and relax and have fun! This isn't a job interview - this is supposed to a night out! ^_^

Take care.

DV1 agony auntJust wear what you normally wear when you're out doing things. If he accepts you for what you are, then he's a keeper. He's probably nervous, too. Just take it slowly.

howcomehoney agony auntWhat's the date? Are you going to dinner, the cinema, meeting up for a drink? Just dress as you normally do, unless he's taking you out to an incredibly expensive restaurant or something. He likes you the way you are, don't go and change on him just as he's asking you out! Be yourself!

Helen Help! :) agony auntHey Huni

Hope hes not a great deal older than you if he is bad bad idea but if its just a yr or two then make sure you are comfortable with the cloths you put on if he likes you for who u are it doesnt matter what you wear but of course youll want to look nice. Dont have your boobs hangin out or a skirt right up ur bum this puts out tht your up for sex and thts all hell see if your dressd like that. you can still look nice without your bits hangin out :) Also hes older so hes gunna hopefully be a liddle more mature than you are so dont just talk bout boys fasion and that they dont wanna hear tht, have a grown up conversations ask ya no what hes into wat music he likes does he like sports jus pay an interestd in what hes sayin ull be fine well hope ive helped a bit any way good luck be carful and have fun :)
