Tired of endless chatting online? Trying to figure out what each message means and hoping you won't be disappointed? Here are 5 ways to take the drama out of your first date….and actually enjoy yourself!
Don't be too picky!
Don't be too picky
Whilst it's good to have a type, try not to be too rigid about it.
Dating should be fun and exciting, so don't be afraid of meeting people who aren't your usual type. Give yourself the chance of being happily surprised.
Ditch the "who pays" malarkie
The general rule of thumb is whoever asks first, pays. However, if you are more comfortable with going Dutch then go round for round if it's a drink date, that way you take away any of the pressure associated with trying to figure out who should pay for what, allowing you to focus on more important things, like your date.
With Rendeevoo app you can actually pre order the first round of cocktails before you meet, making it a much smoother process than scrambling around to see who pays the bill.
Relax and have FUN
Try not to build things up too much in your head. As tempting as this can be, it can easily cause anxiety and a feeling of things being forced, which is not fun for anyone.
Instead of feeling like you have to be perfect, try and relax, have fun and remind yourself that this is simply two people spending an evening together to see if they would like to spend more time with one another, that way you don't feel like you have to prove anything.
Chances are they are nervous too.
Stick to neutral subjects
First dates are not the time for heavy discussions or debates, keep the conversation light and fun. You can get to those topics at a later stage but on a first date, try and keep things fun.
Not sure what to talk about? Books, TV Shows, upcoming holiday plans, funny things that have happened this week. Anything but the weather ;)
Stop the endless chatting
One of the problems with online dating is the tendency for people to chat too much before actually meeting. This tends to build up a sort of unhealthy expectation of one another before you have even had the chance to meet in person.
Avoid chatting for too long and arrange to meet as quickly as possible, using Rendeevoo app gives you the opportunity to meet face to face instead of wasting time chatting online.
Rendeevoo is a new app for busy people that allows you to arrange dates with like-minded people, without the drama! With Rendeevoo, you simply find someone you like and then arrange a date for that night at one of it's pre-selected bars- you can even buy the first round before you get there.
