A short YouTube video by Anwar White offering practical first-date advice. Key recommendations in this excerpt: have a phone call with your date beforehand so the in-person meeting feels less like a 'first' date, and call a friend (and play music) while getting ready to relax and be your authentic self.
Jojo said first date tips. I'm gonna do a video on first dates and like, how to make it, how to, like how to get the most out of your first dates. But I will tell you this.
You want to have a phone date before your first date so that the first date doesn't feel like a full on first date, so that the first date actually feels more like a second date. So like all of that nervous energy that you would normally have, you like not having as much. Okay, so that's number one. Number two, you want to like be on the phone with like a friend before the date, while you're getting ready, have some music so you can loosen up a little bit so that it's easier to be your full authentic self. Because like, if you're on the phone with your friend and then you hang up on her and then you go to the date, you're not going to fake the funk. You're going to kind of be in your mode and then he's going to be able to see the side that your friends and family see of you. And that's what you she wants. So I'll give you that.
