Pay Attention To Your Behavior Patterns
Make sure when you’re on your date that you pay attention to your behavior patterns. This means your eye movement, gestures, body language, voice, eye contact, and microexpressions.
These little things can make a wonderful or awful first impression. Make sure you are giving off the vibe you want to give off to have a great first date.
Pick A Great Location
Choose to make your first date something or somewhere you both will enjoy. Don’t be afraid to pick a unique location or activity rather than the old-school dinner and a movie schtick.
Some fun first date choices could be an arcade, mini-golf, a theme park, a picnic at the park, a coffee at your favorite shop, etc.
Select a location that is fun and encourages conversation. Your choice of venue tells your date a lot about what to expect from you long-term should the date go well.
Ask Open-Ended Questions
Asking open-ended questions on your date allows the respondent to elaborate, provide details, and prompt a conversation.
Close-ended questions only allow for a yes or no response. Which one do you think is better for getting to know someone on a first date?
Asking better questions is a great way to show someone you genuinely want to learn more about them and that you are a great communicator – making a great first impression on a first date.
