There can be no experience in life more nerve-wracking than a first date. What should you say, or do, or even wear? There are so many possibilities and outcomes of first meeting someone you like, and it’s almost impossible to predict how chemistry will translate from texts or phone calls to in-person interaction. To really see what can go wrong when trying to make a good impression, check out these 6 things you should never do on a first date.
Don’t be late – The time you arrive at your first meeting is the first impression you’ll make, and it’s definitely a lasting one.
Don’t talk about your ex – There is nothing more annoying and irritating to a new partner than talking about them for almost the entire date.
Rude behavior towards the waiter – Know that this will take away all your points as a person and be sure that there will be no second meeting between you.
Don’t look at your phone constantly – Apart from being very offensive to the person in front of you, it is one of the clearest body language signs that clearly state that the person in front of you is not attracted to you and the conversation with them is not interesting at all.
Prepare to Pay for Your Meal – In the times we live in right now, gender equality is making strides in meaningful ways – but it’s also changing the dynamics of situations like who gets the bill at the end of dinner.
