I have a date tonight (help)

[Amy Jade]

Going to quite a nice place (The Chef's Table, Chester) and I was going to just wear jeans and a jumper but after I said that in a group chat some of my mates are horrified and think I need to dress up more but I don't want to try too hard and be in a dress and look a dick if it is more dressed down

http://chefstablechester.co.uk/

Their website has pictures if anyone want to look and give me much needed advice :worry:

[RileyH]

ooh it looks fancy :love:

[Crimson Dynamo]

It does not look fancy at all, your suggested attire sounds fine. you dont want to look like you are going to a wedding :joker:

remember if they are nice use their name a lot, it works wonders

:fc:

[Tom4784]

Good luck! I hope he doesn't turn out to be a serial killer than wants to wear your skin as a mask <3

[smudgie]

Try and think what your date will be wearing.
Smart casual should do it.
Food looks very nice, enjoy your evening Amy Jade.

[Withano]

The food looks fancy af. You could probably ask him if its smart or smart/casual? Be a cute way to break the ice before the date anyway.

[Amy Jade]

Good luck! I hope he doesn't turn out to be a serial killer than wants to wear your skin as a mask <3

Knowing my luck with dating...

[Crimson Dynamo]

wait what if you have to eat off a plank? :omgno:

have a joke ready

like

"I used to go out with this handsome 4 by 2 plank, he made me sooo joist"

Lterally he will be eating out of your hand (which may also be one of their options)

[Amy Jade]

He's never been I already asked :(

[Ronald.]

Good lucky Amy . R.

[Smithy]

I'm going there tonight too?!?! :o

[Withano]

He's never been I already asked :(

Oh lol. Im kinda out of ideas already haha, you could keep what you're wearing and tone up your makeup if you think you might be underdressed? Or dress smarter and tone down your makeup if you think you might be overdressed. Or ask him to specifically tell you what he's wearing so you can match his level....

Jeans and a jumper seems quite safe though either way.

[Withano]

Good luck! I hope he doesn't turn out to be a serial killer than wants to wear your skin as a mask <3

I'm going there tonight too?!?! :o

Plot twist

[lewis111]

It's better to be under dressed when everyone else is fancier than fancier dressed when everyone else is more casual IMO

[Saph]

what jumper is it

[Daniel-X]

Looks like a nice place, I hope all goes well :love:

I'd just stick with jeans, but maybe a nice top rather than a jumper? it's up you whatever you feel most comfortable with :love:

[hijaxers]

I think i'd be making a bit more effort than jeans & jumper , but if that's your thing go with it. I always liked getting dressed up when going somewhere nice to eat.

[RileyH]

Knowing my luck with dating...

You've dated a serial killer? :o

[Niamh.]

I would wear something more fancy than jeans and a jumper to a place like that, maybe pants (trousers pants that is) and a nice top if you don't want to wear a dress or skirt?

[hijaxers]

Have a lovely evening and a fab meal by the looks of it ! Have a great date Amy.

[y.winter]

Good luck Amy :love:

[Ninastar]

Good luck! I hope he doesn't turn out to be a serial killer than wants to wear your skin as a mask <3



Always so reassuring, Dean.

[Amy Jade]

what jumper is it

It's from French Connection, it's black and got a cutout neckline with lace all in it.

[Amy Jade]

I'm going there tonight too?!?! :o

Are you?? what time? We are there just after six

[AnnieK]

Bit bloody warm for a jumper. Just wear why you are most comfortable in and have fun xxx

[Braden]

I think if you wear what your comfortable with you're not compromising with who you are, but if you want to make effort because it's a nice place, I don't think it's a bad idea to dress up.

I'm a firm believer that you shouldn't care if you fit the environment of the restaurant (unless they do have a code), and if you can pay your bill at the end then who cares. So go with what you want to wear, and what you think looks good. Have a lovely night.

[Amy Jade]

Thanks for the advice everyone I am thinking of sticking with the jumper its honestly nicer than I am explaining :laugh:

[Crimson Dynamo]

...Nicky at the bar reading his newspaper all casual like

I would go with that, it's might be a bit warm for a jumper.

[caprimint]

Well Andy kept that one quiet

[Cherie]

Is it a first date, don't wear white and avoid anything with too much sauce:omgno:

[Cherie]

although now I have read back it sounds like a dressy jumper and not too heavy, I had visions of you in a Aran jumper or something like that :laugh:

[reece(:]

Good luck Amy x

[Samm]

[Josy]

Good luck

[RileyH]

good luck Amy x

I didn't see this until now, I would've wished you good luck if I did

How did it go Amy? How did you decide to dress? In my opinion, there's no "perfect" way to dress, as long as you've cleaned up well and you're comfortable what else matters? Obviously first impressions matter but some people prefer someone who gets really dressed up and some prefer people who dress casual - but most would only really care that you made an effort (and I'm sure you look fab effortlessly anyway :love:)

but seriously Amy what happened

[Amy Jade]

I went with jeans and my french connection jumper on. He was nice and paid but I didn't really get on with him much I found him too nice almost.

[RileyH]

Was he at least fit? And too nice :joker:

[Amy Jade]

Yeah he's really cute

[user104658]

I went with jeans and my french connection jumper on. He was nice and paid but I didn't really get on with him much I found him too nice almost.Nicky will treat u right.


But tbh I read this whole thread thinking "that place is smart casual" and now it's important that you tell us whether or not your choices were correct. Who cares about the date; what were the other patrons wearing??

[Cherie]

He can't have been very interesting as you were posting during the final :bawling: did you spend 10 minutes in the ladies browsing the forum

[Nicky91]

aw nice to hear Amy :love:


Nicky will treat u right.

:suspect: and NO TS it wasn't me, unfortunately :(

[user104658]

aw nice to hear Amy :love:




:suspect: and NO TS it wasn't me, unfortunately :(She didn't like him Nicky, he was a Jerry Worm so there's still hope. You gotta get a bit more mean, though.

[Nicky91]

okay still hope for me :amazed:


more mean, yet also funny i think :hee:

[user104658]

okay still hope for me :amazed:


more mean, yet also funny i think :hee:That's the spirit!

[Gusto Brunt]

Not been on a date for three years. Seriously.

And although I would like to find a soul mate, truth is I love being single. :D

Only advice I can give is be yourself on dates.

[Nicky91]

That's the spirit!

[Crimson Dynamo]

How soon did you think..."er no"?

[RileyH]

Did you get the guy from Tinder?

[caprimint]

How did you meet him? Was it the first time meeting irl or had you met him previously??

[user104658]

I was home by judt after 8 our table was for 6:15:joker: so in other words, it was dire?

[Jack_]

The real question is did Smithy see you/vice versa

[waterhog]

ware what ever you want amy jade and I am sure it will be just perfect.

if anyone was to dare say anything tell them your pale waterhog told you to watch a film called inner beauty.

[Gusto Brunt]

I've not been on a date for 11 years :omgno:

Well done. :clap1:

[Cal.]

The real question is did Smithy see you/vice versa

[Amy Jade]
