A Quick Guide on Your First Date

The first thing you’d have to think about is your itinerary. There are, of course, a lot of options, but I think that safest thing to do is to go to the movies first before having dinner. This is because both of you wouldn’t really mind going to the movies, and there are bonuses attached to it which I will discuss later.

The objective of seeing the movie is simple. It’s not just safer, but it also allows you to know how intellectually capable your date is. Even choosing what movie to watch will tell you a lot of things. If they pick out mainstream movies, then it’s up to you to judge why they picked that one. Maybe it has to do with their tastes, or perhaps they simply want to pick out something that might work for both of you.



The whole screen time would also give you tell tale sign of your date’s personality. You’d get to know if they’re the silent type or not, and more importantly if they understand what they were watching. You’d also gauge if they’re comfortable with you or not depending on how they react with you in the theatre.

While the movie gives you subtle hints about your date’s personality, it also gives you a chance to jumpstart a conversation later during dinner.

Dinner is the perfect place to get to know your date better. Choosing the place to eat gives you hints on their likes and dislikes as well as if they’re high maintenance or not.

You’d know if your date is already comfortable with you depending on where they’ll sit at the table. If the person is already comfortable they’ll sit right next to you, although typically on first dates they’d sit right across of you, signifying that they want to know you better.



During the dinner you could use the movie to jumpstart the whole conversation. The discussion could basically lead you anywhere depending on your interests. This is where the fun starts.
