    Lucky you! Yes, I think it would look like you're not making an effort. A nice trousers maybe, definitely not jeans. Enjoy!

    if you want to wear jeans then wear heels with them, instantly dresses them up :) enjoy! :D

    Depends on where you are going to dinner.

    You would probably get a better response in fashion and appearance tbh.

    Depends on where you are going really. If its macdonalds then some 80's style jeans with holes in the front and rag T-shirt. If its somewhere a bit more upmarket then maybe something a little more dressy. What you wear will become very much secondary once you start chatting anyway..wouldn't worry about it too much.

    ...what if it was Eddie Rockets? Eh??

    Op, like everyone else has said - if it's fine dining, dress up. If it's captain america, jeans and a top.

    if I as you I'd ask him to give you advice on what to wear so. Just ask him is it casual or formal. Nothing wrong with asking. :) Enjoy your night!

    Hey there, i always find a nice pair of jeans, nice shirt tucked in with a belt, heels, light make up and nice purse does justice.

    It's not too much of an effort but an effort nonetheless :)

    Enjoy! Try not to think too much about what to wear, it makes you nervous and we don't want that :P

    He won't care.

    He's just happy you agreed to go out to dinner with him.

    You could wear a bin-bag and he wouldn't mind.

    Seriously.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 105 ✭✭tinkletoes


    I would not wear a dress. I would wear jeans, heels and dressy top. enjoy:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,398 ✭✭✭MIN2511

    Thanks for the replies


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,705 ✭✭✭✭TheDriver


    He is just glad your going. Just make sure the clothes show off your figure and accentuates your best features. Jeans are fine with heels, nice top and keep the eye contact nicely fixed!

    As long as it's a low cut bin-bag...


    On topic (in case of bannage!) - dress comfortable and be happy with yourself.
    If you think a top is too dressy, maybe have a jumper / cardigan on standby to throw over it / take off if required.
    Have a great night and enjoy yourself

    Wear something you look and feel hot hot hot in;)

    Hot as in gorgeous, not mittens and a scarf....

    Wear something smart/casual that you have had compliments on and that makes you feel comfortable. Good luck with the date, hope it goes well:)

    As a bloke let me tell you that it really doesn't matter all that much to us exactly what it is you wear. You're best bet is to go for something that you reckon makes you look nice AND that you are comfortable in. Jeans and a nice "going-out" top are perfectly ok. There's no real "code" you need to follow. But the more relaxed and confident you are the better, so be sure to take that into account.....and good luck! :pac:

    Dress like the way you were the first time he met you/ or something similar.....jog his memory and get him remembering the spark he felt when he first laid eyes on you.

    If its appropriate attire of course,,,not a wetsuit or some such!! In which case, you can rest assured that if he found you hot in a wetsuit, he would find you hot in anything and you can wear what you want. Neoprene is decidedly unflattering....;)
