Step 1: Choose an Outfit.
Dresses are a popular option.
Don't pick one of the simple or everyday dresses that he has seen several times before.
Pay attention to it.
If you choose to wear a top, find a nice skirt, pair of jeans or trousers or shorts too.
Try the outfit out beforehand and wear it around the house for a little while to make sure it's comfortable and looks good even after walking, sitting down and standing up a few times.
If you don't buy a new outfit (you don't need to buy new outfit for a date, you don’t know if he is worth it or not) pick the dress that you have been complimented on before.
It is better, it makes you confident and you don't have to worry about how you may look.

You may think "He has been seeing me all the time at school, here’s the chance to change my look".
A change of look is fine but don't show too much skin.

Show him that you will only show skin for someone special, not just anyone you go on a date with, and then use it to show you like him and you think he is special. , You may have your own favorite color.
Choose a shade that flatters your skin tone and eye colour.

Got a slim waist? Pin a flower at a gathered waist. , Some people like to wear their usual make up but others put on a little extra to show they have made a special effort and to make sure they look their best.
Bring attention to your best features.

Don't bring your claws out.
Be the innocent one! That doesn't mean you have to have a complete personality change but let down your guard just enough that he can get to know you a little. , That’s the smooth part.
It is as important as how you look! Prepare the topics; if you really care about this first date and you think he is not an active type, think about the topics to talk earlier.
Chat about hobbies, school, work, ambitions, music, sports or just take cues from your surroundings- what is your favourite food? do you like the movie? Let him lead the conversation and let him talk.
Ask him simple questions and engage with what he is saying.
People do like to talk and they go for the good listeners.
Remember, if you have good chemistry the conversation should flow naturally once the ice has been broken so don't beat yourself up if it's not working out too well initially. , Break the silence by saying something sweet.

Say something about you too, but you should have prepared what to tell about yourself at home.
If not, you are not sure where to stop. , Keep an open mind and have a habit of turning simple things into fun way of talking.
