Actually, I would almost rather wear a sundress on a Sunday date and wear the jeans/top combo on a Friday/Saturday.
Sorry for sounding dumb, but why is it important what day of the week the date is? I thought the actual location/activity is what matters? And perhaps evening versus afternoon?
And yes, I am definitely listening to Kate on any topic from now on. Even when I post about my problems from an anonymous account. 😉
If the date takes place between the months of April and October the changes of me wearing a sundress on the date are about 95-97%
IDK, I think too much about clothes. You’re right… venue matters more. I just think a Sunday date would be more casual. People don’t dress up as much on Sunday’s.
Sundresses mean I dont’ have to wear pants – moral of the story. Any day I dont’ wear pants is a good day.
Haha. Yes! Ver… Totally agree.
Although, I’ve been so busy at work this week and haven’t felt like shaving, so pants it as been. TMI!
I don’t want to speak for all guys, but for myself, I’m always a little extra impressed when a woman I go out with wears a dress instead of jeans. Particularly on a first date.
So, I’m thinking of dipping my toe into the online dating world but I’m not sure what website to use. Is Match still popular? Or has everyone moved on to apps like Tinder and Coffee Meets Bagel? I feel like I don’t photograph well so I don’t know that I would fare well on Tinder.
Any advice on what websites/apps to use?
Kicia, I don’t photograph well either, but to be on any dating site or app you will need a good headshot, full body shot, and maybe an activity shot. Selfies are ok for the head shot I think, so play around and get a good one. If you’re serious, do a paid site like Match, a free one like OKC, and I can’t speak for apps bc I last online dated 3 years ago.
I haven’t done this but apparently you can rent out an art studio for an afternoon and just have fun with balloon paints/body painting each other/the canvas! Def something I would like to try with my artsy bf. 🙂
I’ve met my last 2 longish-term boyfriends on OK Cupid, so I really vouch for it. I’m also on Coffee Meets Bagel and it does seem like guys there are more prone to actually having a conversation if you “connect” with them, but you only get one a day and it’s not even every day so it’s important to have more than that going.
I’ve tried Tinder a couple of times but it just hasn’t worked for me & what I’m looking for. With OKC and CMB, I feel like the guys there are actually looking for something that might resemble a real relationship – or at least, a larger percentage of them are than those that are on Tinder.
Just my $0.02.
I’ve never used online dating websites or apps, but I know of some long-term relationships which have originated from Tinder. I’ve been told you need to be persistent and not give up, because many of the men will be rubbish (setting you up etc), but every once in a while someone great comes along.
