First dates can be nerve-wracking, but they can also be a lot of fun. At MTN Matchmaking we have a proven track record of connecting the finest singles on Long Island, and we also offer “Date Coaching” for anyone interested.
The key on the first date is to make a good impression and leave your date wanting to see you again. Here are 5 things you should avoid doing on a first date:
- Talk about yourself endlessly. This is a surefire way to bore your date. Instead, ask questions and get to know them. Show genuine interest in what they have to say.
- Be on your phone. This is rude and disrespectful. Put your phone away and focus on your date.
- Talk about your ex. This is a major turn-off. Your date doesn’t want to hear about your past relationships.
- Drink too much alcohol. This can make you act out of character and say or do things you’ll regret later.
- Be negative or complain. No one wants to be around someone who is constantly negative or complaining. Focus on the positive and have fun!
Following these tips will help you make a good impression on your first date and increase your chances of a second date.
Here are some additional tips for a successful first date:
- Be on time. Plan ahead to account for the typical Long Island traffic! Punctuality is important, so make sure you arrive on time for your date.
- Dress appropriately. First impressions matter, so dress in something that makes you feel confident and comfortable.
- Be polite and respectful. This includes being polite to the waitstaff and other people you encounter on your date.
- Be a good listener. One of the best ways to get to know someone is to listen to what they have to say.
- Be yourself. Don’t try to be someone you’re not. Your date will appreciate you for who you are.
Following these tips will help you have a successful first date and increase your chances of finding love.
First dates are supposed to be fun, so relax and enjoy yourself. Don’t take things too seriously. If things don’t work out, it’s not the end of the world. Just be yourself and let your date get to know the real you.
