The first date can also be the last, so many are particularly sensitive.

First date is extremely important for starting a relationship, but anything but easy. We want to get to know the person sitting across from us as best we can. Is it okay to bombard your date with questions? What do we want to know about a person when we first meet them?

Random comments on Reddit are pretty clear. When women were asked what they value most on a first date, they listed some of the most common things. One of them said that she appreciates it when a guy shows genuine interest in everything he has to say.

Still another pointed out the conversation during which time passes in the blink of an eye, and more and more of them pointed out that the person on the other side of the table can make them laugh. A good sense of humor often opens the door to a second date. Another one also pointed out that she does not notice any red flags. So possessiveness, bullying, inability to listen, anger issues, negative attitude, etc.

These random responses suggest that relationships and expressions of affection, such as mutual curiosity, reciprocity, respect, and friendliness, are of great importance in initial romantic decisions.

First date and how to make the best impression?

One of the most important aspects of a successful first date is the ability to engage in meaningful conversation. It's not just talking; but also for listening, asking questions, and showing genuine interest in your date's life and experiences. This means that you ask questions that encourage the person to tell more about themselves, and you also share your experiences and anecdotes, but you also listen to others.

Laughter is often said to be the best medicine, and that goes for dating as well. If you can make each other smile and laugh on a date, it will be a big factor in the prospect of date number two. Share lighthearted, non-offensive jokes or funny stories from your life. Remember that humor is subjective, so gauge your date's reaction and adjust it slightly.

Openness and honesty on the first date can build a good foundation for a further relationship. It's about sharing your thoughts, feelings and values while being receptive to your date's thinking. There's nothing wrong with telling the person what you're looking for in a relationship and trusting the person with your interests and passions. Passionate debates can reveal a lot about a person's values and priorities.
