Key pointers to take into account Will you be eating? If you are think about if there is a possibility of bloating? If that could be correct if you're off to an Italian restaurant, maybe reconsider the tight fitted slinky ensemble, instead look for items that go in at the waist or are more lose fitted.
How far will you need to walk? I love high heels are much as the next person but walking a lot in them? No thanks... throw me the flats! The most unattractive thing is waddling down the pavement because 1. you haven't broken those new shoes in and 2. they are simply too high for you to handle. Go for a pair you've worn in, so if you got a new pair in the sale start working your magic on them now.
Am I paying? Come on we're not in the reality version of Pretty Women, men shouldn't be expected to pay for everything. Obviously don't get me wrong it's nice to be given the option but you can't assume, so be prepared to offer. If your date does pay for your food perhaps gently suggest to get the next lot of drinks in.
Have a back up plan. I'm not saying be prepared for the worst but I believe in having a few things sorted... you know, just in case. A taxi number is always a sensible option, that way regardless you can always get home safely. If it's a blind date or maybe even a first date always tell someone where you're going and who it's with, I'm not saying you need to be worried it's just always a wise thing to do.
The last two pointers are mainly aimed at new couples and first dates. Dates are great fun and you really don't need to but it on a pedestal, so you can go bowling or even do laser quest and actually have a giggle! Either way always plan ahead and feel fabulous whatever you wear this Valentines Day!
