When you ask a couple how they met, the
most common response these days is, “We met online.” “We met online,” has
become the new, “We met at a bar.” The dating culture has changed, with the
advancement of technology from Match, Plenty of Fish, eHarmony, Tinder and OkCupid, just to name a few. You can Skype,
email, text, face time and talk on the phone to someone for days on end, until
you finally agree to a first date and meet in person. The dating game has
changed, but one thing remains the same; the pressure and stress of what to
wear on a first date.
We’ve all been in that situation with
butterflies in our stomach, unsure of how to make the best first impression,
without looking like we’re trying too hard.
It is a job in itself, to find the perfect outfit to make you look presentable
and appealing on a first date because who knows, they could be the one.
We decided to pull some fashion styles
from popular bloggers to help cease the crinkles in your forehead, because you
should relax and enjoy your first date. After all, you probably already
researched them out on Google, Facebook, and LinkedIn and read their online
profile from top to bottom a few times.
