Everyone wants to make a great first impression on a date; people are generally concern about what to do, where to go, what to wear, how to look, what to say, how to act, and the list goes on. But how do a person really prepare for a date? Well I believe the first preparation should be a mental one. A person should assess hi s or her mindset to evaluate if there are any emotions, feelings, attitudes, or thoughts that may negatively impact a date. I believe if you prepare for a date with good intentions and a clear state of mind, then the what, where, and how of a date will easily come to mind.
Make a mental assessment in order to evaluate if there are any excess baggage that may hinder your judgment while on a date. For example, if a person is holding on to negative experiences in past failed relationships, if a person has preconceived notions due to stereotyping, or if a person is emotionally unavailable or detach, then he or she needs to address personal issues before going on a date. Keep in mind your thoughts can surface in your interaction with other s even when you are trying to suppress them; it can surface in a person’s interpretation of others.
Preparing for a date can require some soul searching depending on the person. Mentally preparing for a date is simply evaluating your state of mind including your moods, feeling, emotions, attitudes, experiences, and expectations. Sometimes we are our greatest obstacle because we can get in the way of what we want by over thinking or under thinking a situation. In the case of dating, people generally under think the preparation of the mind, in terms of how their negative personal experiences can impact the outcome of a date.
