The first date after meeting online can be awkward for some people, but there are “hidden rules” you can follow up.
Flirting online is a thing, taking that flirt into a real date is a step we think twice doing it.
It might go pretty well as a first date, but at the same time, a lot of things can go wrong.
If you want to meet in person, the one you met online and now you’re interested in, you should know some things before the date. You need to know what to do and how to behave during the date and after that date.
You must be real and date as a real man or lady dates!
Prepare yourself mentally to meet them in person:
Pay close attention to this part, chatting online is different from talking in person, it can be better, and it can turn out to be worse.
Please make sure you are ready to meet them in person, that you want that person to move from your online social circle to the real-life circle.
Use what you learned:
You want to make sure that you will have a great first date. To make that happen, you should go back into your brain memories and find all of your common interests.
Try to remember what their hobbies, favorite food, any activity so in this case, you will have a pleasant and comfortable idea of dating.
Be on time:
You have to show them you respect them by showing up on time. It is crucial because doing the opposite of your partner will have a lack of trust in you. That also tells how you manage your priorities inside of a day.
Make them feel safe and comfortable:
Okay, so this is the most essential and delicate thing you have to keep in mind during a first date after meeting online.
You have to try to make your partner feel as comfortable as possible. They will feel safe by going into a place that is familiar to both of you. Try talking topics that you have interests on, it will be fun.
Tell them how good you feel to meet them in person, but try not to sound creepy!
First-second conversation on the first date after meeting them online:
It is the first date after meeting them online but this is not a date where you guys are getting to know each other- you already made that conversation online. Be positive in your discussion by talking about your goals and how you’re planning to achieve them. Tell stories about things that made you happy, stories that inspired you.
In this way, your online partner turns out to be your real-life partner by knowing yo differently.
Respectful and polite:
Tell them what your momma raised. Let them know that you are a person that knows how to get close to someone by being polite and respecting their personal space.
Giving them the space to stay comfortable around you will be very appreciated by their side, and they will try to give it back in return.
You don’t need to know everything on your first date after meeting online:
Put your adrenaline in slow motion here, captain. You don’t need to know everything about your partner on the first date. Asking too much or telling too much is not a very good start, you don’t want that.
Leave something for the next date.
If you guys feel like there is something in between, you can let something for other dates.
Don’t overload yourself nor your partner.
Be honest firstly with yourself then with your partner on how you feel after finally meeting them:
Keep it in your mind: you are not the same person online and in real life.
Expectations and reality game is too strong. A lot of people have huge differences on how they express themselves online and in real life.
The first date after meeting online can be an awesome date and an awkward one for these reasons:
This is the part when expectations and reality game is too strong. A lot of people have vast differences in how they express themselves online and in real life.
The first date after meeting online can be an excellent date and an awkward one for these reasons:
Awesome date: the person turns out to be the same or even better as to how they expressed to be in social life.
Awkward date: the person has built super high walls of expressing themselves outside of social media. Maybe they don’t feel safe and sure about their sayings, and they worry too much about the reaction of their partner.
However, try to remember the value of having a conversation. Be honest with yourself first and then with your partner about how you feel after meeting them in person for the first time.
