Sure, it’s your first date and you are nervous. Moments of silence need not always be awkward.
If you have to rack your brain to come up with something to talk about, you’ll know that it’s forced, and forced conversations are seldom pleasant.
And remember, it’s a conversation, not a monologue. So, don’t hog all the talking time; give the guy a chance to put in a word now and then!
6. Dressing inappropriately
On first dates, you’ll want to impress the guy. But remember not to go overboard with it. Keep in mind where you’re having your date and choose an appropriate outfit.
On the other hand, dressing shabbily will give the guy the impression that you’re either a messy person or that you didn’t think it was worth dressing up for him. Don’t fret:
7. Flirting too much
Conversation during a date is between two individuals who are exploring the possibility of a relationship with each other. So, it should not be extremely formal. Yet, bear in mind not to appear too flirtatious or even inappropriately informal. Let rapport develop organically.
8. Questioning too much
It’s all right to be a little inquisitive about the background of the guy you are out on a date with. But don’t make the guy sweat by bombarding him with questions, especially on matters such as his financial stability. You wouldn’t want him to feel like you’re getting interviewed, would you?
9. Digging into his past
