8. Show Genuine Interest
A great conversation is a two-way street. Ask open-ended questions to encourage your date to share more about themselves and be an active listener. Discuss your passions, hobbies, and experiences, and find common ground to explore further. Showing genuine interest in their life is crucial in building a connection.
9. Stay in Control
While it’s okay to have a drink or two to ease the nerves, overindulging can quickly turn a promising date into a disaster. Stay mindful of your alcohol intake and avoid having a drink before the date starts. Remember, staying in control allows you to be fully present and make the best impression possible.
