This might seem obvious, but you need a place that proves you know what you’re doing, without overdoing it. This is a real first date, not The Bachelor, so save the prix-fixe menus and helicopter rides for later.
Nothing kills momentum more than having to scream “What?” after every question they ask you. Here’s how it’s done:įor starters, you need a place where you can hear each other. You don’t have to take every open mic musician you match with to dinner, but if you want to make an impression and actually look like you give a damn about getting to know someone, an old-school first date is the way to go.
Still, we remain staunch believers in the art of the first date (Lesson one: Don’t talk about Doomsday).
Apps rule the romance world, and that’s probably not going to change unless the Apocalypse happens.
