Four signs of a bad first date

 

When it comes to first dates, there is a lot that one needs to look into. One has to keenly look into what they are wearing to the date, what they will order and how they are going to present themselves during the date. The first date should be relaxing with both parties feeling comfortable as this creates the right environment to execute the main purpose of a first date- to know one another.

It is frustrating when you are meeting someone for the first time but they are constantly on their phones, or eating with no etiquette. Here are more warning signs that the date could be the first and the last:

There is no eye contact- Eye contact communicates a lot as it is where the chemistry begins. Eye contact is considered the body language that can be evaluated to tell if one is into you or not. When your date can’t keep direct eye contact, then they might not be sure about how they feel towards you. If there is eye contact between you two during the conversations, that shows the date is going on well. Silent treatment- First dates are meant to break the ice and make communication between you two easy. It is during the first date that you get to know if your date is an introvert, get to know their view of life and many more. While it is true that there is normally moments of shyness during the first date, lack of conversation completely reveals there is no future for another date as you two cannot get comfortable and break the awkwardness. There is a third wheel on board- There are those individuals who tag their friends to their first dates. If your date brings a friend to your first date, then they are likely trying to see if you are good enough for them. The friend comes to gauge your suitability as a date for their friend. When your date brings his/her friends, let it be the last and first date as they don’t have any confidence in being with you. Too much interrogation- Despite this been a first date and both parties want to know more about each other without restrictions, too much information on a first date may give the wrong impression. Keep in mind that your date has not attended the date for an ‘interview’ but for some good bonding time. Give the chemistry time to spark and the rest shall follow.

But again, one should keep in mind that there is no hurry in knowing one another, with time a person’s true self always comes out.
