First Date Tips
Got a hot date coming up? Scared it might not go to plan? Well take control now by following these simple dating tips and don't let your first date end up like it did for Allison Scott (Katherine Heigl) in Knocked Up.
The Top 5 Dos and Don’ts
• Remember to shave/wax all those necessary areas beforehand
• Do not arrive late for your date
• Do not badmouth your ex boyfriend during conversation
• Do not answer your mobile phone during the date
• Remember to relax – don’t take the first date too seriously
The Top 5 Conversation Tips
• If stuck for conversation always ask the other person to talk about themselves, it is the easiest thing for anyone to talk about
• Look at your date in the eyes and make sure you listen to what he has to say
• Relax, relax, relax - The whole point of the evening is to focus on enjoying yourself. If you are stressed, the other person isn't going to get to know the real you
• Don't talk about money, religion or politics on your first date
• The other person will always give you signs as to how they are feeling, they are very subtle so pay attention
The Top 5 Dress Code Tips
• If it doesn’t fit, don’t wear it – If you have large bosoms avoid squeezing them into a tiny size 8 top, It is equally as important not to hide your figure behind any sac-like attire
• Wear appropriate makeup - Make-up should enhance your features, not hide them. Be sure to use shades that match your natural skin tone and do not over apply
• Wear appropriate footwear - If you’re planning to drive or take a cab you can wear the sexiest, most impractical high heels you’ve got. Although if you’re walking far or taking public transport you should think about wearing moderately comfortable shoes. You want to focus on your date, not how much your feet hurt
• Wear sexy underwear – This will make you feel like a real woman! If you feel sexy you’ll come across that way too
• Don’t over dress - Although you’re unlikely to impress anyone in tracksuit pants you will look and feel a little ridiculous turning up in a ball gown. When going on a date the dress code is usually the stylish end of smart-casual which can encompass anything from dressy jeans to a cocktail dress
Knocked Up
Available to own on DVD from 7th November 2007.
Following 2005’s highly successful 40 year old Virgin, writer/director/producer Judd Apatow again hits comedy gold in a movie about a one-night stand with unexpected consequences: Knocked Up. Katherine Heigl (Gray’s Anatomy, Roswell) joins 40-Year-Old Virgin actors Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd, and Leslie Mann on a comic adventure that explores the thing that will ever ruin your best-laid plans: parenthood.
Allison Scott (Katherine Heigl) is an up-and-coming entertainment journalist whose 24-year-old life is on the fast track. But it gets seriously derailed when a drunken one-night-stand with slacker Ben Stone (Seth Rogen) results in an unexpected pregnancy. Faced with the prospect of going about it alone or getting to know the baby’s father, Allison decides to give the lovable layabout a chance.
