How to make your first date memorable?
While the concept of dating has taken a spin after the pandemic, however one thing that has remained constant is anxieties and thoughts that occur in our mind like,
- What should we wear on the face date?
- How should not we mess up the date?
- What if things can get go haywire?
- How can I impress my first date?
- How to control my excitement?
All these questions may make you feel scared and nervous; hence we have made a list on how you can turn your experience into incredible and worth the efforts.
1. Don’t use phone when you are with your date
Remember, you have won half the battle by asking them and meeting them, however, don’t ruin the happy scene by staying glued to your phone. Keep the phone on a silent mode, unless you are dating a freak or you have an emergency to follow.
2. Don’t dig your past
We all have some kind of past, some broken relationships, heart pains, being cheated, etc. Excavating them can shake us up and will demean our confidence levels. The best way is to keep such talks to minimum. Rather we recommend you not to harp on the past and discuss about your future lives.
3. Wear something that is comfortable and confident
One of the best ways to curb down your anxiety levels is to wear something that makes you look confident, comfortable and stylish. Do not fall prey of unreal fashion sense. Some items belong to ramp only so do not add it even in your accessories.
4. Talk about your future together
The future is not constricted to marriage; rather talk to them about their interests, past time activities and what they want to achieve professionally. It is one of the ways to understand your date’s preferences and interests. Having a common interest can help you to stay hooked to each other.
5. Ask questions
When you are on a date, you can ask umpteen questions to make the conversation interesting. The right questions will help you to know him/her better. However, do not over freeze or overwhelm the person by asking the questions rapidly. Remember, “slow and steady wins the race.”
QUESTIONS THAT YOU CAN ASK
- What kind of thing or hobby do you want to pursue with me?
- What are your expectations from your partner?
- Do you have any deal broker?
- Did you have any crush when you were small?
- Are there any memories with your parents or siblings?
- What do you do on the weekends?
- How would you like to spend time?
- If you did not have job, what would you like to do?
- Where do you want to travel or where have you traveled?
- Do you believe in spirituality?
- If you have met the God, what wish would you ask for?
- What was the happiest and scariest moment of your life?
- Who is your best friends and where do you confide your thoughts?
- If you could go back in time, which era you would like to select and why?
All these questions will help you to learn more about each other.
6. Don’t pretend
It is the most clichéd advice that we get but do we really follow it? In practicality, it is an important tip to remember. You might not win his/her heart but being yourself will give you confidence and a relationship that will stay wild even when both of you are miles apart, and it matters the most.
7. Don’t make wrong moves
Intentionally or unintentionally, we make wrong moves by asking wrong questions or by being offensive. Do not ask questions like
- Where do you want this date to be going?
The question might not turn odds in your favor and you may seem to be overly-eager personality. It will show your desperation. Don’t ask it and don’t be in a rush to commit with someone.
- Why you are single?
You should not ask this question to your date because they may feel offended. The best way is to try to be amazing and happy.
- Do I look nice?
Appearance questions may hit them hard and may not strike the chord between two of you. If you utter a compliment that may not go well with their thoughts they may feel nasty and it can ruin your date.
- What is your culture and religion?
Don’t be blunt by asking their culture, religion or other background. Instead ease them with the above-mentioned questions.
Conclusion
You can have a magical date with someone that can turn into a dream relationship; however you need to be cautious of your moves to make it memorable.
