Do Not Overdo It.
Have you ever heard of the phrase “Be yourself”? But let’s avoid taking it too literally. Keep your toenail clipping obsession for later conversations. Start off with shared interests, and some lighthearted banter. The goal of creating a comfortable environment is for both parties to be themselves and relax without having to overshare.
Listening Power
Imagine attending a concert in which the band never harmonizes. It’s like being on a first date when only one person talks. Ask questions about their life that show a genuine interest. Listening to someone is not just about hearing their words. It involves understanding their feelings and experiences.
Dress to Impress (But Comfortably).
It’s important to be comfortable, even if you want to appear like you just walked out of a magazine. You’ll be able to tell if you are uncomfortable in those new shoes or if the dress restricts your breathing. Wear something you’re comfortable with but that also makes your feel confident.
Pick the Right Setting
The environment can make or destroy a date more quickly than you could say “awkward pause.” You should choose places where conversations flow easily. This could be a cozy café or casual eatery over a loud club or fancy restaurant, where you might be more focused on the fork than your date.
Keep It Light
It’s not the right time to talk about heavy topics, like politics, or exes. Unless you want to know how quickly someone can escape from a awkward situation. Stick to light topics such as travel dreams, favourite movies or hilarious childhood moments.
Body Language: Pay Attention
Actions speak louder often than words. Crossed arm could indicate discomfort while leaning into the other person shows interest. Mirroring your partner’s movement can also help to build rapport.
Don’t Ghost–Communicate!
If the relationship doesn’t work after the initial date, don’t disappear in thin air like Houdini’s Assistant. You can maintain respect and dignity by sending a short text explaining your feelings.
Humor goes a long way
You can reduce tension by sharing funny stories and jokes. Sharing funny stories and light-hearted humor is fine, but don’t get too risque with your partner until you are more familiar.
Plan Ahead But Stay Flexible
A plan is a sign of initiative, but adaptability is also important. If the cafe that you had chosen unexpectedly closes, be prepared with a back-up plan or better yet ask what they’d like instead.
Being Honest with Your Intentions
If you want something serious, but they are having fun — or vice versa — it’s better to make that clear early rather than taking different paths and crashing later.
These tips will help to turn those nerve-wracking, first dates into fun and memorable experiences. If you’re just starting out dating or are returning after some time away, these tips should be helpful.
