Never be tempted to use hairspray: it looks naff, smells horrid and your date will get an unpleasant surprise if they touch your hair.
Remember, less is more when it comes to looking alluring, you want to look mysterious, not downright cheap.
This is not the night for long red nails or bright red lips; they're both too obvious a sign to a man that you are interested.
Wear discreet jewellery, not masses of gold - he won't understand the fashion irony of the St Tropez chic look.
Looking too trendy is also a bad idea. Your best friend might be jealous of your outfit, but your date may find it plain scary.
Use a colour corrector (green coloured foundation) as a base if you are prone to blushing or flush when you drink alcohol.
Never try and shop for a new outfit on the day of the date; life never works like that, you will get increasingly stressed and rarely will you find your dream outfit.
Make sure you wear a bra that fits you properly and feel confident showing off a hint of cleavage. It's amazing how many women wear the wrong size and it shows.
If in doubt, think Meg Ryan rather than Madonna - a mysterious feminine look is a definite winner with most men.
Style tips for men
Leave your comedy clothes in the wardrobe, T shirts with slogans, cufflinks that are clocks, ties with cartoon characters... please just don't go there. It never amuses any woman.
Don't wear a suit if you don't feel comfortable in it. Looking uptight and constantly fiddling with a choking collar is a real turnoff.
Do wear smart separates that look like you have made an effort. Trying to look like you haven't bothered is insulting to your date, and is arrogant in the extreme.
Make sure you wear deodorant - underarm patches are never a good look and are more likely to appear when you are nervous.
Only wear sandals if you have good feet, it's amazing how many women can go off a potential lover when they see a pair of yellow toenails.
Don't show off your tattoos, a lot of girls these days do love them, but some don't, so play safe and save them for a showing on a later date.
Never try and impress your date with inside fashion knowledge if you don't know what you are talking about. There is always a chance she will know more than you and see through your act.
Have the confidence to give your date a compliment on what she's wearing. Every woman likes to know that her effort has been appreciated, even if you dislike her outfit, find one thing to focus on and be complimentary.
