Whether you plan on going on your first date for the first time ever or you have been playing in that field for some time, you can probably agree that being nervous is an unavoidable element when meeting someone you like.

The first impression is particularly important if you are meeting your date for the first time in real life. That is because the person you want to get to know is gaining an opinion on what dating with you looks like based on the initial impression they have of you.

If you both are talkative, outgoing, and have assertive personalities, there won’t be any trouble breaking the ice.

However, if you are both quiet and withdrawn or still don’t know each other enough to feel relaxed, try to ignore that you’re nervous and let yourself open up and engage in conversation. If you can cut the silence with the knife, that is your cue to step up and shake things a bit and shift the atmosphere tone.

Be open with your intentions

If you want a partner just for fun and don’t want to commit or be in a relationship, date one person, you should say that. This way, you’ll avoid a situation where one or both sides end up being hurt.

There isn’t a single technique to achieve getting kneepads that will help you in your activities. You can decide the cut round circles, or make wider and longer knee pads, or fold your mat a few times, no cutting needed.

Where to go?

The location should be a place where you will have fun and be able to have a conversation. Going out for a drink or dinner is always an okay option, but try to come up with something less usual. Maybe our ideas for the first date will help you with that.

The dressing is totally up to you

Everyone has their own style, and you should dress how you usually dress. 

Telling you that you should wear a shirt completely buttoned-up or that your dress should be of a certain size is simply not okay.

Instead of advising you that you ought to dress informally and with moderation we are totally for, we can only recommend wearing something that will primarily be comfortable. That way, you will feel both satisfied and seductive.

Grooming is the part of getting dressed to impress both yourself and your date. We suggest showering before to feel renewed, brushing your teeth, and combing your hair. Styling creams, makeup, and perfume, etc., are add-ons and a choice.

The core of the first date

The conversation is the essential part of the meeting. It matters how you look, but what matters more is what you say. Likewise, it is not of so much importance where you will go, compared to having the opportunity to talk and build attraction, chemistry, and attachment. 

That’s why it is a bad idea to decide to go to the movies on the first date.

Body language and words

Flirting should not be all over the place and forced

Let the conversation run its course and care for the other side to feel comfortable. Maybe you’re too obvious with having feelings and wanting to get as close as possible to your potential partner. But if you overdo it, you might scare or turn-off the other person and produce the opposite effect.

Arrogance is not bad if you want to cover up insecurity and promote self-confidence.

That said, if you brag all the time and want to convince your partner that you are a jackpot, it is quite possible that you will not create the impression of a self-confident person but rather an utterly insecure one.

Check, please

As for picking up the bill, nowadays, it is a custom that the person who initiated the date pays. But there are no rules.

If you are a woman, you don’t have to expect a man to pick up the bill – instead, offer to pay or at least share the cost with your date. This is not about earning points; however, it is not a secret that by doing this, you will leave a better impression.

Call it a night

The parting depends on how the whole outing went. If you confirmed to yourself that you like his or her personality and you had a good time, then it is okay for a kiss on the lips goodbye. 

If you are not sure if you should do it, but you want to, give it a pass, perhaps the other person will initiate it.

A kiss on the cheek is halfway to a kiss on the lips and erases another barrier. A hug is always good. It is friendly, but at the same time (same as kissing on the cheek), it leaves room for exciting thoughts and daydreaming.
