You are not sure where this date went wrong but there is no doubt that it went wrong. The tension in the air was unmistakable. If that didn't give you a clue, than those extended awkward silences should have. You were right on time so that couldn't be it. How about a little gift to get things started on the right foot? Check. You also both agreed to go out and hear some live music. No problem there particularly since the band was really kicking it and the atmosphere in the club was electric. All that was terrific but one thing you do know for sure. Every time you leaned in to say something to your date, they recoiled. As you were saying good bye, it became obvious that they could not wait to get out of the car. You inquire about another date. Their answer is evasive and non committal. Your instincts tell you it's a definite no. What's up? During the period between preparation and the actual date, your mind and body are racing to do all the things necessary to make sure your time together goes as smoothly as possible. Sometimes in doing so it's easy to overlook the most basic necessities and that includes personal hygiene. Why was your date displeased? It could be a couple of things. 1. Body Odor Chances are you were not just sitting around for hours waiting for the date. You had things to do and places to go. During that time your body odor may quietly rise to a certain level which you may not notice but your date will. Don't take a chance. Go home and grab a quick shower or a bath if possible. If you have already done this but much time has passed before your date than freshen up again. The added benefit is soap and water has a way of revitalizing you as well as putting the brakes on any runaway body odor. 2. Breath Across The Room All of us have at one time or another been in the company of someone whose breath smelled like a combination of garlic and onion wrapped in limburger cheese. Bad breath is a real date stopper and can also end a relationship if it is not taken care of. You may think that your okay but go the extra mile and brush your teeth and floss a few minutes before you leave to go on the date. Carry some breath mints as well. Also if the two of you go out to dinner, pay attention to what you order. Certain foods can start the process all over again. 3. The Perfume-Cologne Bath Taking a shower or bath and then putting on some type of fragrance seems basic enough. Unfortunately some folks cannot leave it at that. Either they smell like they have been swimming for three days in a pool of Chanel number 1 thru 5 or that they were kidnapped by some radical Avon representatives. You want your date's eyes to water because of laughter or tears of joy not because they could smell you coming twenty two blocks away from their house. A little fragrance here and there should do the trick. Body odor is a tough subject to broach and can put your date in an awkward position. If they tell you the truth no matter how diplomatically, it's going to hurt. If they say nothing then they will have to suffer thru the evening. Even if they don't say anything you will sense that something is wrong. Therefore do everything possible to ensure your personal hygiene has been taken care of beforehand. Doing so will be one less thing you or your date have to worry about. Article written by Daryl Campbell - The Relationship Tip - Grooming is essential to making sure the date goes smoothly.
