So the guy or girl you like asks you out on a first date. Nervous and excited, you start overthinking about what to wear. Will they like me enough for a second date? Or what should I talk about on the date?
Because the last thing you want to do is mess everything up. And so, to help you out, I have made a list of four things to avoid doing on a first date. That can come in handy if you plan on landing a second one.
4 Things to Avoid On A First Date
1. Never talk about your ex or past relationships.
The last thing you want to do is bring up an ex. Past relationships or anything negative on your first date. Instead, keep the conversation light. Or talk about some things you look for in a relationship.
2.Arriving late and not being considerate of your date’s time.
Now I know things happen and sometimes you may be late. And even so, you need to communicate that with your date. Because if you do not, it may come off as rude, or you are trying to ghost them. So remember, it’s better to be considerate of other people’s time.
3. Acting fake and not being authentic.
If you want your date to get to know the real you, be yourself. And not a fake persona because, in the long run. If you get together, it should be for the right reasons.
4. Only talk about yourself.
When it comes to dating, it should be a two-way street. So, never come off as self-centered or only talking about yourself. As a way to impress your date -especially when it’s your first.
Instead, you want to ask them questions about themselves. Like do they have any hobbies? Or find out if they have any dreams or aspirations. Because when it all boils down, it’s better not to come off as shallow.
In conclusion…
Though going on a first date is scary, it can also be a fun experience. When you relax and live in the moment. And so that said, drop a comment below or share this post with a friend if you enjoyed it. So other than that, have a good everyone, and peace.
First dates can be super scary (sometimes a bit awkward), but the advice you have shared here is a really great start to making sure things go well. I haven’t been on a first date in many years (the last one was with my husband when we first met), but I remember the nerves. Lovely post!
Oh yeah, these are the don’t for first date. No.4 is a huge turn down for me. Huhuhu…
