I'm a bit of an odd duck, so I just try to be myself. Otherwise, they will think I'm something I'm not and that will cause troubles latter on. Why bother with that drama? Who needs it? Always be yourself.

Going on a first date is like going to a job interview; your date, just as your potential employer, expects that you are doing your best to make a great first impression and that you are presenting yourself in a better light than you truly are. There is a subconscious adjustment that your date makes, knowing (or at least suspecting) that you put extra time into looking your best, that you probably have some canned topics for witty discussion, and that you will be more congenial on this date than you likely are at any other time in your daily life. If, however, you are entirely up-front about who you are (e.g., you show up looking like you would any other day after a hard day of work, you're a bit irritable, you swear impotently at the car that cut you off, etc.), your date is likely to figure that this is you at your best and that you will only get worse later (if that date were to actually develop into a relationship).

Basically, a first date shows us at our absolute best — whatever that might be — and that's what's being judged. It's sort of like going into an appliance store and seeing the oven display model that's never been used; it looks shiny and clean and would look great in our kitchen. If we had instead seen an oven that had been used for a year and had rarely been cleaned or maintained, we wouldn't consider that model for our kitchen.

My advice is for everyone to strive to be that display model; show your date that you clean up nicely, and that you can appear shiny and new. Your date knows that it's not going to be like that always and forever, but they want to know that it's possible.

That said, putting one's best foot forward isn't the same as lying. You don't want a relationship in which none of your perceived positive attributes exists. You're still yourself on that first date, only a better version of yourself.
