I’m new to dating. I went on a few first dates with guys around my age (early 30s) and all of them were dressed super casually. Literally hoodies and sweatpants and tennis shoes. Is this…normal? Am I expecting too much? Is it a gender difference?

I make sure to wash up and brush my hair and teeth, get dressed up cute…and then I show up and the guy is always dressed like…that.

I went on a couple walking dates with an older man (40s) and he made sure to dress comfortably yet stylishly each time. I was impressed because everyone else dressed like a bum!

Are my expectations unrealistic? Is this how people dress when going on dates? My thought process is…I’m meeting this person for the first time, I wanna make a good first impression!

EDIT: Edited to clarify that I’m not asking for a suit and tie! Just like…‘regular’ clothes? Jeans…a t shirt, long sleeve…idk…just more than sweats and less than a suit ya know?

EDIT 2: The dates are walking/ice cream/coffee dates. For my outfits, I’m wearing like…jeans and a nice long sleeve with a jean jacket for colder weather, a cute top and skirt with sandals, or a modest dress for more indoor/less movement dates. So I’m not out here dressing for the ball or a business meeting. Still casual, but nicer imo.
