First dates are delicate, just like a first kiss.You know you can’t make a hasty move, because you could end up ruining your chances in no time.And you can’t try too hard either, unless you know your date well already.Keep your level of intimacy in mind while planning a date because your date’s level of comfort around you matters a lot for the date to be successful. Plan a first date carefully, keeping a few exciting backup plans and alternatives in mind all the time. After all, the best first dates are ones that seem perfect and memorable even if it seems like it’s all planned in the last minute.One of the most important criteria of a perfect first date is to keep it exciting without bordering on discomfort.Don’t overdo a first date. A first date should help both of you get to know each other on a romantic note. You really shouldn’t plan anything that will make your date squirm. Keep a few ideas in mind, if the date goes well, you can always use the other ideas.In all probability, your new sweetheart will talk about the date with their friends. If you plan an exciting evening, your date’s friends will assume you’re an awesome catch and take your side even before meeting you. And that’s definitely something you want! That conversation is the death knell on a date. It shows that you haven’t planned your date nor have you paid any attention to impressing your date or doing something exciting. If your date asks you to suggest something to do *especially if you’re the guy*, make sure you suggest something. Firstly, contrary to popular belief, a movie is not a bad first date idea. Most guys and girls assume a movie date is wrong because both of you would hardly get to talk to each other. And that’s true.But then again, sometimes it takes a while for both of you to feel comfortable around each other, even more so if one of you is shy. By sitting next to each other for over an hour and a half at the movies, it can help both of you feel more relaxed in each other’s presence. But just make sure the movie isn’t the highlight of the date. Do something else too, so both of you can bond better and get more time to talk to each other.
