First dates can be a stressful experience, but with these three tips you will know what to do. First and foremost, just relax! It may sound cliche’, but I assure that it is the best way for you to overcome any nerves before your date begins. Second of all: Be yourself! People are attracted by different things in others- so try not hide who YOU truly are even if someone else might like another side of you better than this one. Finally; honesty really does go a long ways when first dating someone new as well (especially because they probably already know more about themselves from being honest throughout their life).
With or without Covid on your first date, we recommend keeping an open mind–being relaxed and staying true.

Dating is like a high-stakes poker game. You may have luck with bluffs in the past, but you won’t win it all by playing games – only by taking your best shot and risking everything on each hand can you hope to come out victorious. That’s no different from dating; if someone likes that fake side of yourself they’re going to get upset when reality sets in because those two sides are so vastly unalike!
Try to think back to the things you talked about when the both of you face timed or skyped and try to remember what he or she said they enjoyed(you should have been taking notes). If not, then always remember: don’t overthink it too much – take them somewhere cool with good food!
The most important thing to do on a first date is having fun, the bigger of an ordeal you make it out to be beforehand – the more likely you are going to embarrass yourself. If nerves get in your way before the date take some deep breaths and if that doesn’t help drink something with alcohol; one drink usually calms me down enough for me not to worry about what others might think of my bad table manners or unimportant body language. Just be responsible. Nobody wants to be at a table with someone rude and out of hand.
The key to having a nice first date is simple:
-
If you take her/ him to any of your favorite hangouts, they may feel out of place and resentful. And if it’s too loud or busy for them, their discomfort will build as the night progresses. So find somewhere quiet but not so boring that she’ll want to leave early!
- Do not take her/ him to a place where your friends hang out, If you take her/ him to any of your favorite hangouts, they may feel out of place.
- Have a plan that makes sense. Have some backup plans ready instead (just in case)!
