Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder, but sometimes we just feel like we’re not as attractive as we’d like to be. This is especially true as we age.
Feeling more attractive on dates can boost your confidence. This makes every experience more enjoyable. There are some strategies to boost your self-esteem while dating. It’s important to remember that it’s not just about how you look. Your attitude and body language also add to your attractiveness.
Here are some tips to help you feel more attractive on a date:
- The first step is to put some effort into personal grooming. Hygiene is very important. This includes your hair, teeth, skin and smell. Deodorant is always appreciated! A little cologne can be a nice touch, but I emphasize the word Small.
- It’s good practice to have an elegant personal clothing style that expresses your personality. When you look good, you feel good, which boosts your self-esteem and confidence. Be careful not to dress too flashy or sexy during the first few days. You’re interested in meeting potential partners, not participating in a booty call scenario.
- I always recommend having a few outfits in your wardrobe that you will wear on dates. One of the most frustrating things about going on a date is not knowing how to dress. When you’re organized and ready with an outfit that makes you feel good, it makes those first few dates less stressful.
- Looking attractive doesn’t have to be expensive. If money is a concern, there are many consignment shops to choose from. There are so many wonderful facial products online that can enhance your skincare routine and give you a youthful glow. (I bought a cupping system and microneedling kit that I use regularly at home.)
- A new hairstyle can give you a spring in your step and a new look. Men can try adding a nice beard to their look, or invest in some trendy jeans or form-fitting tracksuits. Changing up your appearance every few years is always a good investment. It can give you a youthful attitude because of the way it makes you feel.
- Body language is very important. When your body language is open and positive, it shows that you are approachable and confident. The first impression can make or break the second date. If you don’t know how others perceive you, ask your friends or family for advice.
- Happiness is attractive and contagious. Show your fun side and save the serious conversations for later. The first few dates should be relaxed and enjoyable.
- Maintaining a regular fitness routine is also extremely important for physical and mental health. Not only does it clear any negative thoughts, it also boosts your energy. The endorphins produced by exercise release positive vibrations.
- Focus on improving your confidence. This is extremely attractive to both sexes. I truly feel that this is more important than appearance. Regularly socialize with other people and participate in conversations. Stay up to date on world affairs so you’ll always have something to say. When you feel comfortable in your own skin, you will always come across as attractive.
- A bright smile and eye contact are always important when meeting someone. It will automatically make your date feel comfortable and relaxed.

Having a positive outlook is also another important trait to embrace.
A positive attitude will make dating conversations more meaningful. It’s important to be true to yourself. Please don’t focus on your imperfections. We all have them, but we don’t need to talk about them. Show your playful side first. A date is not an interview, so don’t treat it like one. It looks like you’re taking a friend to lunch. It’s fun and casual, no pressure. Choose a venue where you feel comfortable. Some men and women feel intimidated in certain settings.
If you’re usually a shy person, make an effort to open up to the people you meet every day. This will give you more confidence when you go out on a date with someone you’re interested in. Practice makes perfect, and it works well when using this scenario. For some people, showing their extroverted side isn’t easy.
Stay communicative, but be careful not to give too much information too quickly. Premature displays of vulnerability should be avoided. Unfortunately, some controlling people are looking for this personality trait. Learn how to ask positive questions to open up a conversation. Make sure it’s a return. This will help you gain confidence when the conversation takes place between you.
Learning how to feel attractive and confident is definitely a learning curve. This is especially true if you’ve been through painful breakups in the past. Don’t rush and put pressure on yourself. It takes time to rebuild your self-esteem after a heartbreak! Take it step by step so you can learn to trust yourself and others.
Make sure the person you date is an extension of who you are.
Many people are attracted to someone because of something they are missing in their lives. They look for someone to rely on them in a dependent way to improve their lives. Opposites of the opposite sex are often attracted to each other, but rarely stay together for long. If you repeat dating and relationship patterns, you must reconsider your choices.
You should always be happy with who you are when you’re alone. Please don’t rely on someone to make you feel complete. You want compatibility, similar goals, values, and morals with your potential partner. Building a mutual rapport with the person you choose to spend your life with is crucial. Respect between both parties is crucial.
Always listen to your feelings and what your intuition is telling you!
Safety always comes first. Do not go on a second date with anyone if you sense any warning signs or major red flags. As I’ve mentioned many times, dating is a training ground. A quick course of study will bring you closer to meeting your special someone. When you feel attractive and confident, it will show! This will continue to naturally attract people to you due to your magnetic energy.
