Outside of the clothing that you wear, other aspects of your appearance will affect your dating experience. For example, avoid wearing heavy makeup or seductive colognes and perfumes. These only cause more lustful thoughts and can lead to temptation situations which you want to avoid.

• Choose makeup that is flattering to your face and in keeping with your LDS faith.
• Avoid any type of accessory that would be revealing or otherwise not something you would feel comfortable wearing to church functions.
• Do take the time to do your hear and to clean yourself up. You want to show your date that you do care about the way you look and that you do respect them enough to take these small steps.
• The finishing touches on your appearance may be the items that matter the most. For example, do wear a smile with you. Be sure that you are standing upright so that your back is straight.

This helps to show your confidence. There is a difference between aggressive and arrogance and being confident. Be sure to make eye contact with your date as well. You do want to dress your best and act your best whenever you are dating.

Yes, the rules of LDS dating do make a difference in your life. They are a way to show just how committed you are to yourself and to living a lifestyle that you are proud of. Take the time to check out your appearance to ensure that you fit the part just right. This way, you will feel comfortable the entire time you are on your date and you know that you have done nothing to stir the wrong emotions in your date.
