Hi!

I need your suggestions for this dress on our first coffee date. It might not be just about sitting and drinking coffee... We might walk through the market.

I have this really pretty, cute, spring & daytime look dress. It's not long but it's not revealing the top part. I love it.

But I was also told just to wear casual cuz it's a "coffee" date. But I like to dress-up for this sunny day, and we've been emailing for 2 weeks since we first knew each other on eH.

Any suggestions ?

If you like that dress as much as I'm hearing in this post, I would wear it unapologetically and be d a m n e d what anyone else says about it.

If you got it, flaunt it.

It's a glow-in-the-dark compass ring, so you don't get lost.

It sounds just right. And, most importantly, it's something that you will feel comfortable in and feel good wearing.

Have fun on your date.

Who told you to "wear casual?" Him or one of your friends?

I would ask him what he's going to wear. To some guys, wearing khakis is going casual, to others that is dressed up. If he's going to be wearing faded jeans, you may feel "mismatched" if you're in a dress.

If you like to dress up then dress up, that's who you are and who you are is what he wants to see.

As they say, you never have a 2nd chance to make a first impression. Beyond that, I would say wear whatever will make you feel good and confident for this first meet so that it's not a distraction when yo do meet (i.e. yer not thinking or worrying about how you look, so you can devote your full self to the meeting and getting to know the person).

Best of luck!

Can't agree more. Your confidence will be high, be more inclined to be yourself, and will probably be smiling. I don't believe any guy would be put off by a woman smiling at him. Good luck!

I agree with other posters about wearing the dress if wearing it makes you happy.

However, I would say no if it will make you look too formal. We don't know what the dress looks like.

I have some dresses that are beautiful (and not very expensive), but make me appear way to formal because of the style/cut.
