What should I expect on my first ever date?

Feeling nervous is completely normal.

Studies show over 70% of people experience significant anxiety before their first date, but this initial nervousness often subsides once the date begins.

Maintaining eye contact is important for building connection, but don't overdo it.

Experts recommend aiming for 60-70% eye contact during the conversation.

The "three-second hug" can be an appropriate and warm way to greet your date.

Research indicates hugs lasting 3-5 seconds release oxytocin, fostering a sense of closeness.

Chewing gum or having a mint beforehand can help manage first date jitters by providing a subtle sensory distraction and freshening your breath.

Asking thoughtful questions to learn about your date's interests shows you're engaged and interested in them as a person, which is far more meaningful than just talking about yourself.

Avoid controversial topics like politics or religion on the first date.

Stick to lighter, get-to-know-you conversations that allow you both to relax.

Your body language matters - sitting with an open, upright posture and nodding to show you're listening can make a positive impression.

Don't feel pressured to split the bill.

Letting your date know you're happy to cover the meal can be a nice gesture, but most people appreciate the option to contribute.

Compliments are great, but keep them respectful and avoid anything too physical or flirtatious early on.

Focus on qualities like their smile or sense of humor.

Having a plan for the date, like suggesting a fun activity you both might enjoy, can demonstrate thoughtfulness and put your date at ease.

Be mindful of your phone usage - constant checking can make your date feel ignored.

Silence it and keep it out of sight to stay present.

Remember that a first date is about getting to know each other.

Focus on having an enjoyable time together, not trying to be someone you think they want you to be.
