Set an Intention to Be More than Ordinary
Even if all you want to do this Valentine’s day is to binge on Netflix, we suggest that you do something extra and out of ordinary for yourself. Like putting on some satin nightdress and ordering a snack that you don’t eat every day.
If you are going out for a date, wear something that makes you feel amazing within, happy people are generally more attractive than people who feel miserable about their outfit.
Make it a priority to do something different with your appearance no matter the place of your date or the status of your relationship, the idea is to feel special by making your day special.
Use Make-Up If that makes you Feel Good
There are some women who worry about the use of make-up on a date thinking that their potential partner may not like too much make-up or consider them to be superficial.
But if it makes you feel better about yourself, by all means, go for it, if you are worried about going overboard, follow a general guideline regarding make-up. The guideline is to choose make-up appropriate for the kind of activity that you are planning to together. If you are planning to go swimming, smudge-proof and waterproof make-up is a must while if you are going to a wine-sipping bar, avoid looking gothic.
Focus on looking presentable and comfortable, in your own skin or in make-up if you want to look the best on your date.

Brush up your conversation skills
Avoid this step if you are going to indulge in your love but if you are planning to go out on a date, chances are you will have to talk to the other person so that you can have a good time.
If you look like a million bucks, but can’t hold your own in a conversation then it will reduce the perception of your attractiveness.
Make a notecard about the things that you can talk about, avoid talking about your past relationships if you can, and listen with interest to what the other person is saying.
Most people find the people they like to be more attractive than they are and have good conversion is a great start to being liked.
Do Something Fun and Thrilling Together
Love and science are not often quoted together, but many studies have found out that people feel more in love or feel more attracted to their partner if they do exciting things together.
By exciting we mean things that get your heartbeats racing, like a hiking trip, a roller coaster ride or action or even horror movies.
This could also mean trying activities out of your comfort zone as a person is more likely to have their heart racing when doing new things.
Please don’t go overboard that you may harm yourself or your partner in the process, aim for thrilling activities, and not terrifying ones.

Be Well-Rested Before a Date:
You don’t want to show up to your date looking like you haven’t slept for weeks and your thoughts are powered by nothing but caffeine.
Even if you hide the tiredness on your face and eyes using make-up, your energy, as well as your emotions, will show if you are tired.
If you are well-rested, you will feel happier and more confident and even your sexual drive will be better.
A tired person may have a hard time looking interested, let alone being genuinely interested.
So get adequate rest before a date, make sure you eat well so that your partner can meet the best version of you on your date.
