What to wear on a first date?

I have next week with someone from PoF, I have never been on an online date before, and I haven't been on a date in years! In fact, I don't think I have ever been on a 'date' as such.

I am 25, DS is 2, before he came along I just kind of met people and ended up with them, so I have never had this dilemma before! The date is in a pub just for a drink or two to see if we like eachother in real life.

What do I wear?? I thought any kind of dress with bare legs would look to dressy/slutty for a first date. And I don't wanna wear tights coz it might be really warm and sunny and I would feel stupid. I don't do leggings! That said, all my skinny jeans I have a problem with (one has bleach stain near crotch! one waay to tight like spray on and one kinda baggy around knees). I get paid tomorrow so I have a very small (like £30) fund if I need something new, but if we don't get on it will have been a waste to spend money on a new outfit. Help me!

Frontline are you planning to give the op any actual advice or just to slag off other people's?

Frontline · 20/07/2012 22:54

I think slag.

She should wear a nice maxi, eh Frontline?

I think you'll be right with the leopard dress and sparkly pumps. Sling a denim jacket over the top to make it a bit more casual and you're good to go. If you're 5'11 with legs up to your armpits you should bloody well show them off!

I think maxi dresses are more dressy than summer type dresses!

And Frontline, I dont mean all legs, I just mean bare legs in a short dress on a first date!

I don't have pumps that go with the leopard dress, or i would go bare legged. I dont think the boots go with bare legs...

I went with the leopard dress, wore bare legs with boots and wavy hair. I looked hot :p

Date went very well, man said I looked beautiful so thanks for all your advice!

What about a knee length dress? No tights, a cardi and ballet flats
