Hello again,
In about 3 or 4 weeks, I am meeting a girl I met off of myspace about two towns over. She just one day said "we should meet, if thats ok with you" so I figured wow, when I do....what should I wear

Should I be looking for a very casual appearance, or should I maybe dress it up a tad bit (ie a dress shirt, untucked w/jeans). Before I ask any more questions, I'll let you provide me with some feedback.

Thanks!
Hunter

I would say to spruce it up a little but but dont come off "dressy." I have found that going all out on my dress has made me unapproachable, or too high class, as told to me by many people I come in contact with.

A dress shirt and jeans would be the minimum I would wear. Especially if it's in the evening, I'd add a casual sportcoat (

jackets are designed to accentuate masculine features). And obviously, dressy shoes.

However you normally dress, dress that way but it would depend on what you've got planned for the evening. We're talking about some random chick off myspace, not some high class hooker, right? (Not rhetorical)

Make it a daytime or afternoon casual meeting at someplace like a coffeeshop. Dress just well enough to be the best dressed guy there.

And since this is some random myspace chick, warning signs include 1) An adam's apple, 2) Some guy in a fur coat coming over to ask how you like her when she is in the washroom

You made plans 3 or 4 weeks in advance with an internet chick? I'll be suprised if this "date" actually happens.

Anyway, wear whatever you want to wear.

haha, it would have taken a huge CIA/FBI like conspiracy to set all this up. I hope shes a woman though! lol you never can be sure. Im pretty picky about how I look when I go out, its a bit of OCD or something, so i'll def dress the part.

As far as stuff in my wardrobe goes...I'd probably wear a corduroy blazer over a light v-neck, jeans, and ankle boots.
