First Date Tips

We all know that first impressions are important, and a first date is the first impression you make on a potential partner (and that they make on you). A first date is a great time to set boundaries and learn about your compatibility but it can be confusing to know how to make the right impression. Here are 3 tips to help you make your first date a success!

1 – Don’t be afraid to give up

This might sound like weird advice, but if you know with certainty that you and your date are not compatible – get out early. Base level things like if you are looking to settle down are deal-breakers and setting that line in the sand now will save you a lot of heartache down the road.

2 – Be yourself

We know, it’s a cliche, but it is important to give an accurate representation of yourself. If you are bold, be bold – if you are naturally quiet, be quiet. Don’t change yourself to fit an ideal you have in your head, it doesn’t bode well for a new relationship.

3 – Give yourself times

Sometimes, even if you feel ready to date, you might not be. If you are unreasonable anxious, insecure, or otherwise unsettled before a first date it might be best to take a step back. Make sure you are really ready for a relationship, first date jitters are normal but extreme anxiety could be an indication you need more time for yourself first.

Thoughts to Ponder

"Relationships include fights, jealously, arguments, tears and disagreements. But a real relationship fights through all that with love. That's why love has to be the foundation if you're looking for a relationship that lasts."
