It doesn't matter if you're going out on a first date, or if you're meeting your long-term boyfriend for dinner. Either way, you should come prepared. In order to do that, here are a few things that you should be carrying in your purse: ## 1. Chapstick ![Chapstick](https://img.allw.mn/content/wu/v3/guzjp1fa56bb5acbd8973969796614_500x281.gif) You don't want to kiss him with flakey lips. That's why you should always have Chapstick on hand. ## 2. Mirror ![Mirror](https://img.allw.mn/content/jk/z8/ebdrvu9b56bb5acc01373030371617_500x258.gif) You don't want to end up with food in your teeth or smudged makeup.

If you're thinking about sleeping with him, then you should carry some condoms with you to keep yourselves safe. ## 4.
