The date night you've been waiting for has finally arrived. And then you make those classic stupid mistakes we all make on a first date!
The first impression, or the first date, is definitely the cornerstone of any long-term relationship. But the first good impression can be quickly spoiled by big little things, if you make these "stupid" mistakes on a date. We all do the latter, but we should be very aware of them! Let's look at the list prepared by consultants for partnership relations and it also contains those stupid mistakes that you yourself definitely make on the first date.
LOOKING AT THE PHONE
The worst mistake of all is definitely looking at your phone during a date. Of course, it is understandable that the pace of life is so fast that sometimes being unavailable can cost you your career. However, this is something completely different than browsing affiliate networks while on a date.
CIGARETTE BREAKS
Although these so-called "chick breaks" never threatened James Bond's romantic life, research has shown that most mere mortals do not condone such behavior. Of course, the problem disappears if both are smokers.
SHAMELESSNESS
If you want to get a second date, don't be rude. Not to your crush, not to the waiters, not to the popcorn seller at the cinema... TO NOBODY! So your behavior must be empathetic and at the same time sympathetic.
TALKING ABOUT EXES
This error is a real trap. On dates, especially those where intimate conversation develops, you are quickly tricked into telling your crush about your ex-partners. While this is certainly a topic to broach later in the relationship, it is by no means an appropriate topic for a first date.
TIP: When you have nothing in common
The latter could hardly be called a mistake, but it is certainly one of the main reasons why there is an uncomfortable silence on first dates. You can avoid this inconvenience by subtly checking if you have anything in common before asking the person out on a date.
