  1. Pick a date spot that’s nearby.

If you live in Alabang, you don’t decide to meet your date in a quaint café in McKinley Hill. Instead, you pick a nice place in Alabang, too, where you know how much a good meal costs and how much you will have to pay for your taxi ride. This way, if your date turns out to be a nightmare and you need to leave ASAP, you can still pay for your own meal, have enough money for a taxi ride, and be home in bed in less than an hour.

  1. Take a cab or an Uber.

It sure beats bringing your own car and driving in crazy traffic. Also, you don’t need to gas up, pay for parking, find a parking space, and then drive again all the way home. If you had a good time with your date, you can also easily say yes when he offers to drive you home. Which means more time to get to know each other as he drives, while you fire your twenty questions away.

  1. Invest in solid and classic dresses.

Buy dresses that are flattering to your body type, and in colors that will enhance your natural beauty. You can be sexy without showing a lot of skin, so skip that midriff-baring shift dress, or that top with the too-low neckline. The look that you should always try to achieve is one that’s natural, light, and classy. Go for clothes that suit your age and can easily be dressed up or down with just the right accessories.

  1. Offer to split the bill.

As an independent woman, you should be ready and able to pay for your own meal. But if your date is a true gentleman, he will foot the bill before you can even reach for your purse. If this isn’t your first date and he has paid for the last five dates, offer to buy him a coffee, or even a few drinks. Pay for the movie and his popcorn. You don’t want to give him the impression that this is how it will be with you every time you go out on a date. It also wouldn’t hurt to have an idea on with how he approaches financial matters and his comfort level about it. It may seem early, but if you’re both interested, it would be a plus knowing that he’s comfortable discussing money matters with his potential partner, should both of you decide to take that next step.
