What are you doing on the date? That would help with advice!

MagnoliaJustice · 04/06/2020 20:45

Where are you going? How are you going to socially distance from each other?

My dating tips are: wear something you know you look good in but is still comfortable, have a friend call you 30 minutes into the date so if it's all going pear-shaped, you can pretend there's a family emergency and you have to leave, make sure you know how to get home from wherever you are going, and don't feel obliged to stay around if the date isn't a nice person.

I never been on a date so cannot advise op, but just wanted to say your outfit looks lovely Smile

ShopTattsyrup · 04/06/2020 21:17

What to wear probably depends what your local park is like? If it's a bit wild and there's a bit of walking involved go for something comfortable that looks good. I love a pair of stretchy jean's for that kind of thing. They make my bum look good but if I need to climb over a style I can Grin.

captainprincess · 04/06/2020 21:18

You look great! I think the shoes with the details on look best.

ShopTattsyrup · 04/06/2020 21:22

You look really lovely!

As I said before - depends on the type of park really :) at my local you'd be better off in some flat shoes because it quickly turns into woods and there's not much of a proper path. But if yours has loads of benches and a clear concrete path you'll be fine and you do look great!

Nsky · 04/06/2020 21:24

Be confident, be you, and don’t be afraid to leave early if going badly

bigchris · 04/06/2020 21:24

You look great ! Just be yourself Smile

nevernotstruggling · 04/06/2020 21:26

The outfit is brilliant you look great.

SteveTheSpiderPlantKiller · 04/06/2020 21:33

Your outfit is perfect, I love the sparkly shoes but they say bar or evening to me so I would go with the other ones for the park.

Social distance date is a great idea, it takes so much pressure off the end, will he kiss me moment, well no he can't.

BigBreakfast · 04/06/2020 21:37

A socially distanced date sounds perfect. All first dates should be like that. Have fun OP.

RedRed9 · 04/06/2020 21:39

That sounds fun. And your outfit is great! I like the brown shoes but I’d say whichever are most comfortable if you’ll be park walking.

Microwaveoven · 04/06/2020 21:44

Outfit is lovely. If you can walk in heels then great. The detailed ones look good with the outfit. Wear flats if you would be more comfortable.

I am happily married but going on a date sounds so much fun!! Have a great time.

Don't be afraid to say goodbye and leave if its awful. And just be yourself. Have fun.

Talulahoopla · 04/06/2020 21:45

Outfit looks lovely and think a walk in the park is a great idea. Please let us know how you get on 😊🤞

IdblowJonSnow · 04/06/2020 21:49

Please let us know how it goes!
I would aim to just have a laugh. Anything else is a bonus! Agree it's a plus that there is no chance of a kiss. Takes the pressure right off.

NameChange84 · 04/06/2020 21:54

You look so lovely, brilliant choice of outfit. Good luck, have a wonderful date. I feel excited for you lol (haven’t been on a date in over 5 years!). Can imagine the butterflies and excitement, hope it goes really well.

JMAngel1 · 04/06/2020 21:57

Oooh it's like a chaste 1950s date - how romantic - have fun Smile

DamnYankee · 04/06/2020 22:00

The beaded ones, definitely!!!
If flats - red or leopard print.

Have fun!

PunishmentSnart · 04/06/2020 22:02

Outfit is fab - wear flats for the park though. Nice flat sandals would be best!

Where did you meet?

SunshineCake · 04/06/2020 22:03

Just me who thought the outfit was a bit formal for a date then?!

Hope it goes well!

Muffinandcake123 · 04/06/2020 22:04

I like the outfit too!!!

Gossipgirl2 · 04/06/2020 22:05

Love your outfit. Good luck!
