Always have a shower before your
date. It calms you down, takes
away the stress and strain of the
day and clears your mind. Arriving
straight from work can leave you
feeling a little flustered and
unprepared.

Cool, Calm And Collected

So your ensemble is all sorted, but if you're a quivering bag of nerves, you're going to ruin your dating diva look.

"People put a lot of pressure on themselves before a date - about the way they look and feel - because they want a date to work," says celebrity lifestyle guru, Nick Ede.

You can't do much about your date's behaviour, but you can ensure that you're feeling on top form to enjoy your romantic rendezvous.

Nick says: "People should look at their best personality traits. Think about all your positive points and what's great about you. A date is like a CV or a job interview in a way and you need to impress and give off your best side."

And even those awkward silences can be a thing of the past with a little preparation.

"Ensure you show an interest in the other person and ask them
questions," Nick advises. "There's always those awkward pauses when you don't know somebody, so always have something generic to talk about, even if it's just the latest movie that's coming out."

Top Tips

Nick has these top tips on how to win over your date:

Before

:: Always have a shower before your date. It calms you down, takes away the stress and strain of the day and clears your mind. Arriving straight from work can leave you feeling a little flustered and unprepared.

:: It's okay to have a drink or two with friends before a date - but
don't drink too much or drink on your own.

During

:: Never talk about your ex-boyfriend or a dwell on a past date.

:: Always look interested even if you're not. There's a fine line
between looking cool and looking disinterested and bored.

After

:: The old rule of waiting three days to call them is out of the window. If you've enjoyed your date, let them know and thank them for the date.

:: If you want to see them again, send them a text, saying 'hope to see you soon' and leave it open.
