FIRST DATES
“How can you make first dates less awkward?”
Try to prepare an activity for your date. Doing something you’re both interested in can facilitate your interactions and add fun to your encounter. It also lessens the pressure of keeping the conversation flowing because you have an activity to focus on.
You can also think ahead of some questions, stories, or topics that you would like to talk about during your date.
Try to find out beforehand their interests or things you have in common that could be meaningful to talk about. Or, find inspiration from this list of “Exciting Topics to Discuss on First Dates.”
Above all, just be yourself. Be honest, clarify things they didn’t understand, and laugh when you find something funny.
Being positive and authentic will help create a comfortable atmosphere and make your date enjoyable.
