3 Most Frequent Mistakes to Avoid on your First Date
You are not alone in your struggles with dating and love! It’s complicated but good news: everyone is making the same mistakes and they are fixable.
To save you boredom, frustration and heartache, here are the FIRST DATE mistakes to avoid:
A dinner date is unnecessary when you are first meeting someone:
Dinner is too big of a commitment in terms of time, money and output of energy and too hard to leave early if it’s not going well. Plan a drink: coffee, smoothie or cocktail. If that goes well, turn it into dinner or a walk.
2) A lack of preparation leads to a bad date.
You must be armed with interesting questions: Please avoid “yes” or “no” questions and make sure the questions get at what you want you most need to know regarding the needs of your head, heart and hoo-ha! Please check out my article entitled: “The 10 Best Questions to Ask on A Date.”
3) Don’t meet in private:
I don’t advise sex in the first few dates but rather a strong focus on getting to know one another. For this reason and of course safety reasons, it’s best to meet in a public place. Make sure it’s one with enough quiet and privacy that you can really hear each other and if making out seems appropriate, that’s cool too–think cozy table at quiet coffee shop or walk through your favorite park or beach.
I am always looking out for you and wanting dating to be a fun, safe, easy learning experience that leads you to the person of your dreams. If you need private or group coaching contact me here to set up a free consult.
