A plan in place
Whether you are meeting in person or even remotely via FaceTime, ZOOM or another video call, first think head for a plan.
For example, choose a day and time when you know you’ll be free from distractions and able to relax and get to know your date. The last thing anyone wants is for their date to be distracted with call, texts or even stress.
Take time to decompress and get in a good state of mind before you meet. And put your phone on Do Not Disturb.
Keep it light
While it is normal to have first-date jitters, especially when it comes to striking up and keeping up a conversation, try to be as natural as possible with the chatting.
Though you may have a list of questions or topics in mind of which you’d like to explore both to get to know someone and to share about yourself, be careful of rattling of too many questions in a row.
Also, be cautious of telling too many “ex” stories or dating disasters.
After all, first dates should be light and breezy…not a full-on interview. Plus, it can be fun to let the conversation take interesting tangents.
Exit strategy
For most, the goal is that the date goes so well that you can’t stop talking and even continue on past the timeframe expected. However, when that’s not the case, you should have a polite way to end the date.
If in public, you may wish to hold off on sharing too much – and simply say you have to get going and will touch base later. Then, via call or text, you can later share that you feel the date ran its course and wish the other person well.
On the other hand, if you do have to be somewhere but the date is, in fact, going well, you may want to suggest setting up the next date right away or via phone later that evening or the next day. This ensures your date knows you had a great time and want to do it again.
