Still trying to find a good balanced look for the makeup though! Not too little and definitely not overkill.

I think the makeup in your pic looks great! Maybe just a *tad* eye-heavy... taupe mascara can work wonders for giving blondes like us that natural look, and I tend not to line the bottom rim of my eyes. My look is super-natural so I usually just go with curling eyelashes, taupe or brown mascara, and lip gloss on first dates unless it's to go out dancing.

So I guess it all kind of depends where you're going and how well-lit it is. I'm vain enough that I try to pick restaurants I've been to where I know the lighting looks good on me.

You are amazing! You will knock this date out of the park! Can't wait to hear how well it went!

Hi everyone! It was fantastic! Even though he identified as a cis male hetero he still treated me like a real lady. He escorted me, opened doors and even pulled my chair out for me. He was a little nervous at first which I thought would out me, but after a while when he saw no attention being paid, he relaxed a lot. We had dinner at Red Lobster and then took a long drive to have privacy for talking. He was very interested in why and how I was doing with my transition. He learned all I knew as far as process and terminology and even said it would be worth his companies time to have an inservice to convey the information to his co workers. A big plus for us all. He then dropped me off and gave me a nice hug. He said he would really have to think about if he could have a relationship with me, but I was attractive and more feminine than most cis girls he has dated. Trust me, I really gave him something to think about because I was looking and feeling fine that night. All in all he was VERY respectful, courteous and a total gentleman. So I would say my first date as the real me was a total success. I do hope he calls again, he was really cute! If not he gave me a night I will never forget as long as I live. 

I want to thank everyone for their support. It meant a lot!
