How To Have A Successful First Date


Going out on a date for the first time is an exciting event but can also be very stressful at the same time. The good news is that there are measures you can take to help you have a better and more successful first date.

If there’s one important to-do you want to keep in mind, it’s to relax and always be yourself. The other person is going to enjoy the date more when you’re nice and respectful, and it doesn’t seem like you’re trying too hard to impress them. Remember to have fun and enjoy the opportunity to spend time with someone new.

Choose Your Date Carefully

If you want to have a successful first date, then it’s a wise idea to be picky and choosy about who you ask out. You’ll have a much better time together if you have a good idea that your personalities are going to mesh well. Make sure you have a few common interests between the two of you and that you find them attractive and intriguing right from the start.

Make A Plan 

You’ll have a much more successful first date when you have a plan for what it is you want to do. Pick a fun activity to do like checking out a new bar or restaurant such as the hole in the wall where you can grab a cold drink and some delicious food as a couple. It’s a wise idea to call ahead and make a reservation in advance so the eatery is expecting you two. If the date goes well have an idea for what you might want to do after you eat, such as go for a walk or see a movie.

Be on Time

The best move you can make on your first date is to be punctual and on time. The last situation you want is to show up late picking up your date and set the wrong tone right from the start. This is your chance to create a strong first impression and show that you’re someone who respects other people’s time and that you’re looking forward to the date.

Have Conversation Starters Prepared

In addition, it’s in your best interest to prepare a few first date talking topics that will get the conversation going. You want to avoid those long pauses of awkward silence where you both feel uncomfortable. Therefore, have a couple of questions ready to bring up on your date so that you can get to know the other person better. Keep it light and friendly and try not to touch on any matters that may be sensitive or inappropriate for a first date.

Going out with someone new can be a rewarding and fun experience when you prepare in advance. Use these suggestions to help guide you to having a nice time with the person you’re interested in. Keep in mind that if it doesn’t go well then you can take what you learned on this date and apply it to your next opportunity going forward.
