What you need to know about the first date and how to avoid it becoming a real nightmare for both of you. We will try to answer these questions below.

Suitable location

It is extremely important. Whether you know the person opposite you or not, it is a good idea to choose a place that will set you both up for a pleasant and meaningful conversation. Don't improvise too much. Bet on a calm and relaxing location. It doesn't have to be so engaging to require special dresscode or that you have to pay a lot of money for food or drinks.

Find a common topic of conversation

It is a good idea to find a common topic to talk about something enjoyable for both of you. Hardly anyone will enjoy being a listener all the time. This can sometimes be quite overwhelming and at times even off-putting.

Experience is very important

This will hardly be your first "first date". Remember what didn't work out the previous times and don't repeat it. Or vice versa. Don't waste your time repeating the same mistakes that logically lead to the same result.

Body language

Besides being careful with what you say, be attentive to your body language. Sometimes a person can say too much without even sharing a word.

Be interested in your interlocutor

Talking only about yourself can sometimes be too boring. No matter how good a listener the person opposite you is, there are limits to everything. Be interested in him, what he likes, what makes him happy and smile. Seemingly simple questions can unlock many doors.
