The first date

You met each other on the dating site and here it is - the first date.

Your first date is coming up and your heart is pounding nervously? it's understood. After all, first impressions are the most important, and a successful first date may end up resulting in a lasting relationship. We conducted a survey among our users and bring you helpful tips on how not to go wrong!

For more than 90 percent of respondents, the first date plays an important role

First impressions really do matter. It is said that dresses make a man and there is probably no one to handle the question of the most appropriate clothes on a first date. Better be yourself or three quarters of our users will choose an outfit that feels good and fits them. But be careful: tracksuits or overalls definitely not!

Before she goes on her first date, she will help invite a friend or boyfriend to a consultation about the chosen outfit. Someone's opinion never hurts, and it helps to go the distance.

The first meeting in the apartment is an absolute taboo for the vast majority

Inviting someone for the first date to your house means dating suicide, so you will certainly not miss out on choosing a suitable place. Cafes (43% of respondents) and restaurants (23%) remain undisputed classics, but there are other versions.

For example, coach Maximilian Katz recommends a first meeting in catering establishments only if you are the eloquent type: if you excel at rhetoric, it is likely that the only delays filled with silence are when you drink coffee or eat. However, if conversation is not your forte, I recommend choosing a more active activity for your first date. It may not be a big deal, but for example a walk along Valtaba, visiting farmers' markets or museums are activities that offer many topics to talk to. If there is still a moment of silence, it doesn't matter, because this environment offers enough distraction.

Places like cinemas, theaters or clubs are not the best place for a first date. Because if the couple on the first meeting just sit quietly or drown out the music, it is difficult to know more about each other.

85% of users want to pay for themselves

Fifty-fifty is also an expectation that the person sitting across from you will stick to the traditional payment of the two of you. Therefore, you must make it clear to the waiter that you intend to pay for yourself. If the other party insists on paying for both, that doesn't mean you owe anything.

Note that you are going to pay for yourself, the other party can also explain it as you wish to pay later in another way.

There is at least half an hour

On the first date, two are always needed, both parties look forward to meeting each other and spending their free time. If you meet someone who is not your life partner, do not panic and spend at least half an hour with each other.

Do not expect clear signs of failure from the other side, as up to 54 percent of respondents say nothing in a given situation and show their lack of interest only indirectly.

Don't run after 5 minutes from someone you don't like. Your goal is surely not to hurt the person. We should never do to others what we do not want them to do to us.

And the most important advice in conclusion: don't forget to come on time, because nothing poisons the other, just like a long and nervous wait from the first meeting. An indicator of a successful date is this, according to almost 75 percent of those surveyed.
