I think we should avoid generic compliments and be creative and add humor to what you're saying and don't stress it out, look cool and do it for fun.
-
If you're the type who's a bit talkative, why not try and let your date take charge of the conversation. Because talking too much might make him/her might make your date enter a trance and start to pretend that they're listening to you.

I know that most of the time we (ladies) tend to expect too much from our dates. I think that it is about time that we should also step up and don't act snotty or an overprivileged brat. It is okay to act demure and the like, but don't over do it.

I think we should not necessarily shy away from complicated and taboo topics like talking about politics and religion on the first date but isn't it better to know right away if your beliefs don't align?

Yeah you're right, but people nowadays are into politics.
-
Yeah, being too shy can be boring. Your date might find you boring if you just keep quiet. squirrellove

BearMsAlive Yeah right, why just can't we talk nonsense topics to avoid the awkwardness right?

Don't try spend the entire evening talking about yourself. Learn to read a person based on his facial reactions or gestures. He might be quietly nodding to your stories but deep inside he wants to end the date already.

I hate the feeling when someone talks about his entire biography during dates and it feels like an interview.
-
I think if someone wants to talk about him/herself the entire day then he/she needs to do a powerpoint presentation of it.
-
What advice you can give if it is the other way around? It's your date who's the one who's talking non-stop?
-

Why not tell your date beforehand the things that you might do during the date so that he/she wouldn't be shocked or surprised by it. Like telling him that you eat a lot even if you have a small/petite body type, or you curse like a sailor when you're telling stories, etc...

Maybe don't think of having sex immediately on your first date and focus on the basic ones. I think you need to keep it the conversation clean first so it will not be awkward. Don't be a bitch and don't act like one.

If you're the type who uses dating apps. You have to make sure that you don't use photos that are obviously photoshopped and be honest on what you write on your profile.

You should include the ones who would post of pictures of themselves that were taken a decade ago.

holleroutyo yes. that is so annoying sometimes, well except when there faces don't change at all lol

1xz9 Yeah, like those make up filters, Idk why I hate that.

I think it will be more fun if we won't stick in one place and we should jump places from one after another but be sure to bring plenty of cash with you if you are planning to spend the day with so many activities you can think of doing.

Try to find out immediately the things that you both enjoy doing and just talk about them. Also try to make fun of yourself from time to time in order to keep things light.

If you're going to have the date at a restaurant, I would suggest to know what kind of food they usually serve so that it will not take you a long time to choose which one food you're going to order.

Or just go to one of your favorite restaurants so that you can just order your favorites.

J3nnyTalia yes. less hustle more cuddle

Maybe have a backup plan in case your date is becoming a disaster or starting to fall down and think of something else to do if you are not a charismatic person.
