The 2 Week Hook-Line-Sinker Date Timeline

Planning a date may seen like it comes easy for some, but to others it requires an active guideline. If you need to plan the perfect date and aren't sure of what exactly to do when, follow along with this timeline to make sure you impress your date with your planning skills. 

Two Weeks in Advance

• Contact your date and make plans at this time
• Ask around for what days they're free, when they're off work, or not in school
• Come to settle on a day that you're both available
• Discuss interests to get a good feel of where you'd like to go with your date 

One Week in Advance

• Make reservations, if you're going to be going out to a restaurant or the movies, now is when you should purchase tickets and make reservations
• Let your date know that you've got something planned, but don't be too specific to give the surprise away
• When talking with your date, tell them how they should dress/prepare for the date. If you're going hiking, tell them to wear athletic clothes, and if you're going to dinner tell them to dress formally
• Decide on a secondary place to visit after the date in case everything goes well. It would be best to have another place in mind like a coffee shop to visit 

A Few Days in Advance

• Contact your date to make sure everything is going well and that they can still make it
• Confirm the time that you'll be picking them up or meeting them at
• If you're having a date at home, pick up all ingredients for any food that you'll be making
• Prepare your outfit so that you're not scrambling last minute trying to decide on what to wear
• Purchase any gift in mind that you'd like to give your date 

Day of the Date

• Clean yourself up for the date, take a shower and ensure you look your best
• Wear something nice that will impress your date, whether the attire is formal or casual
• Buy flowers if you're planning on giving them to your date
• Show up on time to ensure that your date knows you're good with time
• Pay attention to your date, have engaging conversations and stay interested in what they have to say
• Visit a secondary place after the date if it went well and you both don't want it to end
• End the date with something sweet, like a kiss 

After the Date

• Talk to them via phone or text, asking them what they thought of the date, discussing the best parts of it
• Repeat some things about your date that they told you to show that you were attentive and listening the whole time
• Plan your next date! Repeat the process of deciding on when you'd like your next date to be 

That's it! Follow along with this guide and you'll find that you have enough time to plan the perfect date and even add in some extras that you've got in mind. Giving yourself enough time to prepare is always best to ensure that both you and your date are fully prepared for the big day or night.
