Biggest Mistakes You Can Make on a First Date

If first dates make you nervous, you're definitely not alone.

If first dates make you nervous, you’re definitely not alone. But apparently, most people tend to overthink the whole thing. Here are some of the biggest mistakes you can make:

Trying so hard to impress someone that you forget you’re also deciding if you even like them. Turning the conversation into a one-person podcast. Also, going to dinner on a first date. It can feel like a long interview, so just skip it. Try mini golf, hanging out at a farmers’ market, or even wandering around IKEA. All are fun, low pressure, and a good distraction. And after the date, forget the old “wait three days” rule. If you had a good time, just send them a text. Dating is stressful enough without pretending you’re playing chess.
