We've all been there, one hour before our date with that super hot guy we met at the bar last week and we're freaking out.

What if he doesn't like me? What did we talk about last time? Will he remember how I looked?
These are just a few of the questions whizzing round inside our heads as we whizz around the room trying to put together our outfit that we've changed a million times.
One of the things that we all think about is how we're going to play the date.
Is it going to be cool, calm and collective or something that will make him remember us in the right way? The answer is just be yourself!
Women are quite often famed for the games they like to play with men, acting all uninterested and cool when really in our heads we just want to be ourselves.
The truth is, men don't like women who play mind games.
Of course, everyone likes a bit of cat and mouse and a chase is always exciting, but don't drag it out! Let him know you're interested and don't be scared to hold back.
Putting on some kind of bravado will do you no favours.
Being yourself will put you at ease and allow you to come out of your shell much more quickly.
It will also make the date more exciting and interesting, conversation will flow smoothly and you'll find that you'll make much more of it.
Not only will it put you at ease but it will also allow you to truly see if the relationship could go anywhere.
If you're being fake and he happens to like it, then you'll have to keep that up for future dates and anything else that may come of it.
You'll eventually have to tell him that how you've acted is nothing like your actual personality and you'll only make a fool of yourself.
If you just be yourself then there is a much better chance of making it work and if it doesn't work out then at least you'll know he wasn't worth your time anyway!
