If you’re getting back into the dating scene or are a seasoned dater, first dates can be a whirlwind of emotions. From the excitement of a potential connection, the nerves that come with meeting someone new, and the uncertainty of how it will go. By keeping calm and maintaining a positive outlook, you can embrace the adventure and turn your first date into an enjoyable, memorable experience. To help guide you on this journey, Events & Adventures has compiled a list of invaluable first date tips that will set you up for success.

7 First Date Tips

  1. Choose a Fun Activity: Instead of opting for the typical dinner and a movie, create a shared experience through a fun activity! This encourages more flowing conversation and shared experiences that make it easier to break the ice. When you join Events & Adventures, you will have access to an infinite amount of unique and exclusive events, from hiking trips and cooking classes to escape room challenges, which help create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere for you and other singles to bond over a memorable experience.
  1. Communicate Beforehand: One of the most important first date tips to take away is great communication. Often times, people wait until the last minute to make a plan or are not clear on what the plans are, resulting in the date never actually happening. It is vital to discuss ideas for the first date and your expectations. Communication helps you build a connection and develop a sense of familiarity, setting the stage for a fantastic first date. With Events & Adventures, dates will already be set for you, allowing you to focus on getting to know other singles in a low-pressure environment.
  2. Put Your Best Foot Forward: When it comes to making a great first impression, punctuality and personal presentation go a long way. Showing up on time demonstrates respect and consideration for your date’s time, and being well-groomed and dressed appropriately for the occasion boosts your confidence and sets the tone for the date.
  3. Be a Good Listener: Another one of our great first date tips is showing genuine interest in your date’s thoughts and opinions by actively listening and asking thoughtful questions. It’s also good to note that with listening comes appropriate responses – avoid oversharing too much personal information or discussing sensitive topics.
  4. Be Open and Positive: A positive attitude can make all the difference in a first date. Stay present in the moment, free from distractions, and immerse yourself in getting to know your date on a deeper level. With Events & Adventures, you get the opportunity to be in a low-pressure environment and can step out of your comfort zone. Embracing the excitement of trying new things through our events allows you to have a more positive outlook on dating so you can form better connections!
  5. Be Prepared for Lulls in Conversation: It’s normal to experience brief moments of silence during a first date, but you must avoid the temptation to check your phone or get distracted by external factors. Not only does this give the impression to your date that you are bored, it also will set the tone for the rest of the date. The activities with Events & Adventures act as conversation starters to discuss past experiences, shared interests, and future goals while having fun with other singles – there’s never a dull moment when you’re having fun!
  6. Enjoy the Experience: Above all, remember that a first date should be an enjoyable experience for both parties! Make the most of your time with your date, and don’t get discouraged if there isn’t a love a connection – you may have just made a new friend! With Events & Adventures, you’ll get the best of both worlds by making new friends and potentially finding a partner. With our wide range of activities, you’re sure to create unforgettable memories and establish a solid foundation for future dates.
