OK, so you know some basic things about first dates. But once you realize an hour or so into your date that you really like him or her, what do you need to do to ensure that you have that second date? Well, we outline some crucial things here that can make a difference and help you get that second date.
It is important that you give your date your full attention. This means leaving the phone in the car or turning it off. These days so many people are addicted to texting and being on their smart phones. But this can be a big problem on your first date. Simply put, don’t go there because if you do, you will not have a second date.
Another big thing is to be sure that you create an environment of getting to know each other. This means asking and sharing both. If you just go on and on all night about yourself and your life, then you will surely bore your date, and that second date probably won’t happen.
Also, be flexible on your first date. Don’t shut your date out when they make a suggestion you may not be into. A perfect example is if your date asks you to get a coffee after dinner, and you don’t drink coffee. Well, don’t say, “sorry, coffee is nasty,” instead say, “Sure. I’d love that, but don’t drink coffee. But it’s no big deal because I’ll have tea.” This way you are validating their efforts and not just shutting them down. This will definitely help you to get that second date.
Last thing is not to disclose to much personal information on your first date. Remember, to keep it light. There will be plenty of time later to share intense personal details. But not on first dates. You will scare your date away. So, keep it light. Don’t lie about anything, but be selective and avoid intense convo.
