Here are six things a man should do before going out the door on the first date.

First impressions matter...

This thread will refine the package you are presenting.

That package is YOU.

1. Pick a restaurant within your budget.

Worrying about the bill the entire time is brutal.

You don’t need a Michelin 3-star restaurant.

II Corallo Trattoria (Located in Soho, NYC) is a perfect example of a good first date restaurant that isn’t expensive but is impressive.

2. Be certain that your clothing smells good, has no wrinkles, and no stains.

This sounds obvious but not every guy checks.

If you’re going on a date with a high quality woman, have your clothes dry cleaned.

It’s a safe bet.

3. Wear Cologne.

Please do not overspray.

Two spritz is more than enough.

Invest in a highly rated cologne.

It's ok to splurge in this area.

It can easily last a year if you wear it only on special occasions.

4. Make sure your shoes are clean.

A well dressed man who smells great can ruin their image wearing f*cked up shoes.

You can never go wrong with Converse (black, white, cream).

5. Carry a pack of mints in your pocket.

Bad breath is a deal breaker.

6. Have conversational topics ready.

Malcolm Gladwell writes amazing books. Relaying any of his observations to your date will surely impress her.

Or just read up on something interesting before going out.

With the right preparation, you can mitigate the chances of messing up on the first date.
