But real-life first dates aren\u2019t always smooth-sailing. You might be thinking: are all the awkward dinners and small talk worth it? Well, dating doesn\u2019t have to be awkward; it really can be one of the most memorable nights of your life. With that in mind, here are five things you need to hear before each first date that can give you a positive outlook and a better sense of confidence on first dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-you-should-feel-100-confident-in-yourself\">1\/ <strong>You should feel 100% confident in yourself<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to dating, low self-esteem can\nprevent you from taking advantage of opportunities to get to know someone who\ncould fit very well into your life. Before making the decision to dive headfirst\ninto the dating world, you need to be sure that you have confidence in\nyourself, both physically and emotionally. Don\u2019t let any physical\ncharacteristic come between you and your confidence; instead, do your research\nand take matters into your own hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Common physical issues like hair loss for men or acne breakouts in women, for example, can take away your motivation to go out on dates and, in turn, disturb your self-image. You can always try out different treatments to manage your physical insecurities, like a prescription that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forhims.com\/hair-loss\/finasteride?phgid=1011l3Jrj&amp;pubref=knpi4ks1j801n1xs05erf&amp;subid=knpi4ks1j801n1xs05erf\">slows hair thinning<\/a> or a clinical acne solution, but there are also plenty of ways to embrace your flaws and work toward self-love. If your lack of confidence starts to affect your dating experience or your willingness to try in the first place, seek advice from a medical professional in the form of therapy or even try some self-love journaling. Your mental and emotional wellness often plays a much larger role in your than you might expect in your overall confidence and relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1880\" height=\"1245\" src=\"https:\/\/cityswoon.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/first-date2.jpg\" alt=\"First Date\" class=\"wp-image-1022\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-don-t-over-dress\"><strong>2\/ Don\u2019t over-dress<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The phrase \u201cdress to impress\u201d may be fitting\nfor a job interview, but dressing to impress your partner is not what\u2019s most\nimportant on a first date. First and foremost, you need to dress in what you\u2019re\ncomfortable in. Oftentimes, some feel the need to go the extra mile by dressing\nover-the-top or in a way that doesn\u2019t allow them to feel like themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wear something that makes you feel so much\nlike yourself that you ooze confidence with no distractions. It\u2019s also\nimportant to keep in mind to dress for the setting of your date. Look into a\nrestaurant or bar ahead of time to see if wearing a dress and heels is\nappropriate, or if jeans and a t-shirt would suffice. Check out some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bustle.com\/p\/the-top-first-date-ideas-that-lead-to-marriage-according-to-plentyoffish-10210790\">popular first date locations<\/a> before making any\nsolid plans and plan a date at which you can look and feel comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-ask-questions\">3\/ <strong>Ask questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re on your first date with someone,\nconversations can tell you a lot about what your relationship dynamic would be\nlike. Thus, keep in mind that you should be listening to your date as much as\nyou\u2019re talking. To make sure that you both have had the same chance to share information\nabout yourself, ask questions throughout the date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bring up some questions that will give you more background on who they are as a person, what they value, and what kinds of things they enjoy. If you\u2019re unsure as to what to talk about, look up some <a href=\"https:\/\/cityswoon.com\/blog\/50-speed-dating-questions-you-need-to-know-for-your-next-date\/\">fun first date questions<\/a> that can break the ice and get the conversation going. Asking questions can show your date that you\u2019re curious about them and a selfless person in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-be-open-minded\">4\/ <strong>Be open-minded<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When exploring the dating world, it\u2019s\nperfectly acceptable to be particular\u2013 or in another word, picky\u2013 when\nconsidering who you want to spend your time with. In fact, many times it\u2019s\nnecessary. However, knowing specifically <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychalive.org\/what-to-look-for-in-a-partner\/\">what you might want in a partner<\/a> can also set\nyou up for failure on first dates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I encourage you to not let your idea of your\nperfect match lead you to ruling out a potential partner. Maybe they\u2019re a cat\nperson and you\u2019re a dog person. Maybe they\u2019re vegetarian and your favorite\nfoods are hamburgers and hotdogs. The point is, many differences can be\novercome; the benefit of dating is that we can get to know people who are\ndifferent from us, and learn how those qualities we don\u2019t have can complement\nour own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-don-t-ignore-the-red-flags\"><strong>5\/ Don\u2019t ignore the red flags<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most common tendencies for singles\ngoing on date after date is that they overlook some simple details that can\nindicate they\u2019d be better off parting ways. If you ignore the red flags in\nconversations early on, you waste a lot of time on multiple dates with the\nwrong person when you could be one step closer to the right person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some minor <a href=\"https:\/\/cityswoon.com\/blog\/the-relationship-red-flags-you-need-to-know-about\/\">dating red flags<\/a> can be differences in opinion on things like marriage or religion. Though a relationship can still be formed around these disagreements, pay close attention early on to see if you\u2019d have to make any important sacrifices to explore that relationship. Other more serious red flags can surface as unhealthy behavior like possessiveness, jealousy, or even violence. Analyze behavior during your date and seek help from a loved one for advice, or from a domestic violence hotline in serious cases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t be discouraged if some dates don\u2019t work out as you had hoped. As clich\u00e9 as it may seem, there really are plenty of fish in the sea. Take your time, get to know people and move on when you see fit. Once you have the self-confidence to take dating head-on, you can meet some great people and maybe even your soulmate (if you believe in that kind of thing).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy Dating!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First dates on TV and in the movies can be romantic, magical evenings where sparks fly and love stories begin.
