How To Prepare For First Date

First Dates:

No matter how much you chat before you meet, they’re always a dive into the unknown. So it’s normal to feel nervous. You may not be able to control how you feel, but you can control how you prepare. It’s easy to tell yourself not to overthink things, but when your imagination is running wild with scenarios reminiscent of those old Dr Pepper ads, it’s time to put that brainpower to better use.

While these tips can’t guarantee you amazing chemistry, they’ll help to make you feel a bit more at ease. That way, you’ll be one step closer to the easy-going and fun conversationalist that everyone dreams of being, or meeting, on their first date.

When online dating, it makes sense to do a cursory search to check that people are who they say they are. But once you’ve done your background check, try not to over indulge.You’ll get a deeper understanding of someone if you find out about them in person. So while you may be tempted to read all about their latest holiday, it’s better to start a new relationship on a level playing field. You’ll want to keep an element of surprise, after all.

Plan where to go

Naturally, you’ve already organised somewhere to meet (and if you haven’t, quickly take a look at our summer date ideas to sort something out, pronto). But it’s worth checking out the area to make sure you’ve got a plan B – or somewhere to go to afterwards if the conversation is flowing.

Having a couple of places in mind (without having to resort to Google) will make you seem like an omniscient demi-god. Or at least confident and decisive. It’s a win-win situation.

Ask questions

Simply ask some questions having simple answer. And, by being the focus of your interest, your date will come away feeling like they’ve made a more meaningful connection.

Try to relax

Take a few deep breaths. Go for a run. Have a large glass of wine. If you’re feeling anxious, do whatever you can to take your mind off the meeting, because dating should be fun, not stressful. An unsuccessful first date may seem like a waste of time, but every meeting can be viewed as a learning experience instead. There’s no right or wrong way to go about it. And if you’re relaxed, hopefully they’ll be relaxed, too.
