How Much Should You Communicate When First Dating?

On our third date, he proposed something unexpected. We were sitting on the floor of his living room on one of the first warm nights of spring, plates of grilled chicken thighs, Greek salad, buttery pita, and garlicky tzatziki balanced in our laps. I sipped my wine, and was, perhaps, slightly buzzed. To be honest, I found it kind of thrilling.

Initially, the relationship can be slightly awkward, especially after a first date. Listen to your feelings to determine your next actions. Think about whether you want to go on a date again, and if the answer is positive, then tell your date about it. At the initial stage of the relationship, some awkwardness may remain, but a few tips will help you smooth it out to fully enjoy each other’s company after the first date.

Remember that this is just the first date. People sometimes like to rush to conclusions after the first meeting. When trying to make an impression of the meeting, do it from different perspectives. It’s just one date. If you did not like it very much, or vice versa, you had a wonderful time, remember that this is only one date, and do not make any conclusions. Even if a spark does not break out between you two initially, it does not mean that it makes no sense to meet this person anymore.

If you had a good time, give them a second chance, unless, of course, there were any obvious alarm signals. Even if the date has surpassed all of your expectations, remember, this is only one date and, perhaps, she has not developed the same attraction to you as you have to her. You are not yet in a relationship, so do not rush to conclusions about the possible future of your relationship.
