<\/a><\/p>\nThe success of a first date is what will lead to a second date, a third date and series of dates and even a relationship.<\/p>\n
However, when the first date is ruined, there might never be a second date and a relationship will be almost impossible as well.<\/p>\n
So when can one say a date was successful?<\/p>\n
1. YOU WERE BOTH YOURSELF<\/strong><\/p>\nNothing beats a date where both partners are themselves and choose to be real with each other and not pretend. If you have to lie or you have a need to impress the other person, then that date was unsuccessful. A successful date embodies originality.<\/p>\n
2. YOU ESTABLISHED GOOD COMMUNICATION<\/strong><\/p>\nFor a first date to yield a second date, proper communication must be established. Establishing good communication during a date is a positive trait and should be termed a success.<\/p>\n
3. A CERTAIN LEVEL OF FRIENDSHIP WAS ESTABLISHED <\/strong><\/p>\nWhat’s a date without friendship? What’s a relationship without friendship? Dating leads to friendship and that leads to relationship, and a relationship is enjoyable when the couples are friends.<\/p>\n
4. BOUNDARIES WERE RESPECTED<\/strong><\/p>\nA first date is very important and boundaries must be understood and respected on the first date. Knowing what to say and how to act with that person is very important.<\/p>\n
5. YOU GOT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT EACH OTHER<\/strong><\/p>\nYou can say a first date was successful if you gained insight about that person. If you know things you didn’t about them and you both got to see each other in a newer light.<\/p>\n
6. YOU WERE COMFORTABLE WITH EACH OTHER<\/strong><\/p>\nBeing comfortable and feeling at ease with someone you are just trying to know on the first date is a huge success. Feeling at ease deep within you and talking to each other without fear, tension or a need to impress is definitely a good sign of a good first date.<\/p>\n
7. A SENSE OF SATISFACTION <\/strong><\/p>\nWith a successful first date comes a sense of satisfaction and appreciation; you’d feel deep within you that it was a good one. Such a feeling isn’t moved by a five star restaurant or a good treat, it comes from getting to know that person and the inner beauty of that person and accepting it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A successful first date won’t necessarily lead to a relationship, it might even just lead to a good friendship, but these are signs that it was indeed a date worth your time.<\/p>\n
