First dates can give you a hint of what to expect from a relationship. We tell you which option foretells a quick marriage, and which one – a waste of time and a headache.
Cinema
An invitation to the cinema, especially on the first date, indicates that the guy is shy and probably not very talkative. Obviously, most of the time will be spent watching the movie, if you’re lucky, you’ll talk after. There is also a significant plus: you won’t have to invent a topic for conversation, because at least one already exists – the movie itself. If the movie is followed by a walk or dinner, you’ll still be able to get to know each other better. And if a man hurries to retreat immediately after the show, he’s not ready for a relationship.
Shopping mall
Shopping is not the best idea for a date, but a frivolous narcissist will probably disagree. As you may have guessed, choosing shopping as a way to spend time together with a girl does not characterize a guy in the best way. Such a man seems to value personal efficiency and multitasking above socializing. At least at this stage, you are not so important to him that he would refuse a shopping trip. If you agree to such a meeting, do not hesitate to look for something for yourself. There must be at least some meaning in such a date.
Stadium
If a man invites you to a sporting event, be prepared to fight for his attention: what is happening on the field (or anywhere) at some point may make him forget about his companion in you. But at the same time, fans of the big game, as a rule, know how to openly express their emotions and, being extroverts, easily become the life of any company. If you share his interest – great. If not – think about whether you are ready to lose him during important matches.
Restaurant
Not the most creative option, and neither is your potential partner. But you have to give him credit: a man is not afraid to take responsibility for you (unless, of course, he offered to split the bill) and understands that the main value of a meeting is the opportunity to get closer to you through good old-fashioned conversation. If he managed to guess your taste, you can consider this a good sign. Perhaps the gentleman will surprise you the next time you “let it slip” that you dream of learning to dance salsa or skate.
Museum
The prospect of meeting in a museum may seem boring to you, but we recommend giving the guy a chance. You may have one of the most exciting dates in your life. Your potential chosen one probably loves to learn. And most importantly, sharing his discoveries with you is a real pleasure for him. A museum is a great place for an abstract, but at the same time deep conversation. This way, he will learn more about your mindset and personality traits. And you will still have time to discuss the number of exes and your profession.
Night club
A date with a “party animal” in his natural habitat should immediately raise your suspicions. At best, he wants to impress you with his dance floor skills, at worst, he hopes to simply get you drunk, so be on your guard. It is obvious that communication is not a priority: talking to loud music is quite a test. Either he is trying to persuade you to have sex, or this is a test for you. In any case, it is worth remembering about self-control, since you have already taken the risk of a date in a club.
A park
There is nothing to stop you from suspecting a nature lover of wanting to save money, but if you truly love walks in the fresh air and active recreation, then perhaps he is your destiny. You should give the man his due: he is not afraid of speculation and is ready to give you all his attention away from the hustle and bustle. During the walk, you will definitely get to know each other better. In addition, your chosen one is energetic and has good health. And whether he is a miser who will never treat you to dinner, you will be able to understand later.
Family feast
If a man asks you to accompany him to a family celebration, this is a sure sign of a serious approach to the relationship. He is looking for a long-term union and does not want to waste time on a frivolous affair. The date format is not for the faint of heart. On the other hand, you have a unique opportunity to get to know his family as a girlfriend, not a fiancée. Do not forget that a man will definitely draw conclusions from how you communicated with his family. Therefore, if the evening went well and you got along well with his relatives, you probably won’t have to wait years for a proposal.
