Step 1
Pick a time to meet and show up at that time. You are meeting to get some shopping done, and making your friend wait for you cuts into your shopping time.
-
Step 2
Choose a shopping destination that allows you both the opportunity to get what you want. Shopping malls or outlets are a great place to plan a shopping date.
-
Step 3
Decide ahead of time how long your shopping date will last. It is better to have a predetermined ending time than to shop until one of you drop.
-
Step 4
Dress appropriately for your outing. Shopping dates always require a good deal of walking so unless you find 3-inch heels to be comfortable after walking several miles, wear sneakers or low-heeled shoes.
-
Step 5
Avoid too much cell phone talking during your shopping date. You may need to take a phone call or two during your outing, but don't call another friend to ask their opinion when you have one standing right next to you.
-
Step 6
Treat your friend to lunch or a cup of coffee. Shopping dates are about joining a friend to shop, but it's also about good company and spending time with your friend. Take to time to sit down and talk during your shopping outing.
