Top 10 Worst Types Of First Dates
Updated | By Kriya Gangiah
First dates are hard enough as they are but planning them can be even more stressful. So where do you go? Better still where do you not go?
Here is a top 10 list of worst first dates.
Fast food joints
Try to invest a little more then a R100 in dinner. Obviously you want to meet someone who is happy to chow down on some delicious take aways but that will be later on. First dates are a chance for you to say, ‘Hey, I want you to feel amazing when you are with me and take you somewhere special.’
Movies at home on the couch
This is not a date ― this is a booty call. You can always tell how a relationship is going to end by the way that it starts in the beginning. In this case, there would probably be no real respect or courtship throughout the relationship since there was not even an effort to make a real first date.
Try not to go to you local drinking hole
This is a bad idea for two reasons: First, your date doesn’t need to know you are a regular at a bar. And second, your potential drunken shenanigans are not likely to leave the greatest first impression.
Meet the family
Ok so you meeting the family should definitely wait till you are at least a little while into the relationship. Try not to do this on your very first night out.
Gym is not a date
Some people consider certain exercise classes part of their lifestyle. With that in mind, heading to a class on a first date may seem like the best way for their dates to get acquainted with it. But you can get to know each other’s lifestyles without having to gasp for air and drip sweat. Resist the urge to do cardio on the first date.
Save the birthday dinner for later in the relationship
You’ll have way too many friends at your birthday who’ll want to spend quality time with you. When everyone is focusing on you, the last thing you’ll want to do is babysit a person you barely know.
Weddings should be saved till later in the relationship
A wedding sends very awkward, very confusing signals about your intentions for the future. Plus, your date might need to be cropped out of all the family and friends pictures if it doesn’t work out!
Groups are a no no!
A night out with your friends puts a lot of pressure on your date to not only impress you, but your entire social circle and that can be a little more pressure than one can handle.
Extravegant weekends
A date on such a large scale is bound to be awkward and make you both feel trapped if you are meeting for the first time and don’t hit it off. It’s best to keep first dates to about an hour to hour and a half. Even if it’s great, leave them wanting more.
Loud music might be a dampener
A good first date requires free flowing conversation and at a loud club you can barely hear yourself speak, let alone the person next to you. Save your first pumps for a later date.
