First Date Tips

First dates are exciting but can also be nerve-wracking! Whether you're meeting someone from an app or a friend-of-a-friend, these tips will help you feel confident.

1. Choose a Comfortable Setting

Meet somewhere public and casual for the first time. A coffee shop, a walk in the park (during the day), or a local bookstore are great low-pressure options.

2. Be Yourself (Really!)

It sounds cliché, but trying to be someone else is exhausting. Wear clothes that make you feel like YOU. Authenticity is attractive.

3. Ask Open-Ended Questions

Instead of "Do you like movies?", ask "What's the best movie you've seen lately and why?" This keeps the conversation flowing and helps you get to know her better.

4. Safety Check

Always tell a friend where you're going and who you're meeting. It's smart, not paranoid.
