If you’re in a new relationship, the looming holidays may mean you’re a tad anxious about meeting "the family." Naturally, you want to make a good impression, and while it’s what’s on the inside that counts, your appearance will speak for you before you even open your mouth.
There are so many things to be concerned about before heading out on a first date: where to go, what to talk about, what not to talk about, etc. And yet, the number one question I always get from my clients who are about to meet someone for the first time is "What do I wear?" It may seem shallow, but how you dress on a first date is actually pretty important. Follow these five tips to make sure your outfit gets his approval.
Picking out the perfect outfit for a first date can, at times, feel like an impossible and infuriating task. "Do I go casual? Revealing? Conservative? Dressy? Sexy?" are just some of the questions that come to mind. The desire to make a great first impression may leave you scampering around town from store to store or tearing through your closet in hopes of finding just the right thing. However, Fox News iMag has tried to simplify all this for us.
In our three years together, I've let myself go. Women's magazines say that's the last thing you should do, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I love that my boyfriend doesn't mind that I've fallen off the wagon with my bikini waxes and hardly notices that I only shave my legs a few times a month during the winter. He notices when I look good, even in a normal T-shirt, and doesn't treat me any differently when I don't. Saturday mornings, we roll over and kiss for a while, despite our morning breath. And that, ladies? That's love.
Last night, Melanie Gorman of YourTango and Dating Makeover Coach Kira Sabin teamed up with Rachel Greenwald—the author of Have Him at Hello—for the third telechat in our Girls' Night In teleseries. After putting on our jammies and pouring some wine, we settled in as Gorman and Sabin grilled Greenwald on what we all wanted to know most: Why didn't he call?
It's finally happened. You've met the One. And—wonder of wonders—he thinks you're the One as well! He finds you fascinating, beautiful and amazing—but he's not the only person you have to impress. While you shouldn't give up on love just because his mom gives you the stink-eye, chances are your guy would prefer it if you were all one big, happy family. Because, when it comes down to it, do you really want to make him choose sides? (Hint: No.) Thank god you have us. Here are the top 10 ways to win over his family.
It'd be great if dating and flirting were easy, things you could approach with excitement and nonchalance—unfortunately that's not always the case. Here are four tricks for making a great first impression whether you're cruising the pick-up scene at a bar or on a first date.
As a freelance writer, I'm always interviewing random and interesting people. And they're not just dating experts—my subjects can range from a guy who ploughs cornfield mazes to a woman who wore lipstick to her mastectomy. So the other day, I was talking to Stan Blits, Co-Producer of The Price is Right. He was explaining how he auditions contestants, and I realized that what he was telling me sounded like dating advice!

Ever gone on a date with a guy, expected to hear from him but, for reasons you don't understand, he never calls you back? We're guessing the answer is yes. Author, matchmaker and dating coach Rachel Greenwald knows a thing or two about this subject. She asked 1,000 men why they didn't call women back, and the results are in her book, conveniently titled, "Why He Didn't Call You Back: 1,000 Guys Reveal What They REALLY Thought About You After Your Date." The book contains actionable advice about how to ace a first date.
