First dates are always a little intimidating. It is the deciding factor in a relationship. If the first date goes well, a second is sure to follow but a bad first date will end your relationship together. The location and activity of your first date is very important. If it’s too personal, the date will probably be overwhelming but if it is too crowded there’s no room to get to know one another. one great spot to take someone on a first date is an art fair. art fairs are populated, but also provide a chance to talk and get to know the other person.

If you’re sitting at home before your date trying to plan out what to talk about, that is the wrong way to do it. Your date should flow naturally, if you have to force conversation after the first ten minutes or so that is a bad sign. If there is a connection between the two of you, conversations will most likely flow. There are bound to be a few awkward silences, but no one can really ever escape those. A good idea is to drive while listening to music, so when the conversation dies down you can ask the other person about the music that’s playing.

Another important thing to remember on a first date is how you present yourself. You will always hear people talking about being “casually late” and things like that to appear cool, but a lot of times those things don’t matter. If anything, a girl appreciates a guy being on time. If you’re going to run late, don’t be more than five to ten minutes late. After that, it starts to seem rude and obnoxious. The person will have spent time to get ready, and will be left sitting with nothing to do while waiting for you. If you do get stuck in a situation that makes you late, give a call or text there way.
Your appearance is also part of how you present yourself. Your outfit matters a lot. You can’t put too much effort into it, but you can’t look like a slob. If the location your going permits, a jean and cute shirt is appropriate for either sex. Often dark jeans are always the safe choice. Light jeans can come off as trashy, or too casual. However if you are wearing a dark colored shirt, light jeans may work better. The way you smell is also very important, as odd as that is. Don’t put perfume or cologne on too heavy but putting it on can be a deal maker. People who smell good often are a huge catch.

Make sure your first date with someone is memorable. It’s a great idea to show all sides of you if you can. Show that you are fun and spontaneous if you are, or sensitive and loving. Don’t come on too strong however or you may frighten your date away. The first date will hopefully open a door to a relationship or close it. Even if you aren’t looking for a relationship and just want to causally date, it’s still crucial.
