I've never planned to impress any girl on a first date.
But I have always been clean in clothes and body, just so I feel pleasant. Yes, just so I feel pleasant. Then I expect that she would feel so, too.
I'm like that anyway. I don't go anywhere sweating or with un-laundried, smelly clothes of any kind. Even shorts and socks have to be clean before I wear them again.
A woman is a lot of responsibiliti
es. I don't try to lure her into my life on a first meeting. I have to know her more first. If that first meeting turns her off, that's fine. I'm more than what she sees on that first lunch or dinner.
First impressions are important, don't you think? You don't go on a first date in rages and a tattered broken down pair of shoes, do you? How about body odor, you shower/bathe?
Now if you are trying to send the wrong impression, then I understand LOL but usually people dress nicer and well mannered than usual.
How many first dates have you had and is it different each time?
