First dates · After
Signs a first date went well
The clearest sign is simple: you both lost track of time. Beyond that, look for curiosity, laughter and plans that come up naturally. And if you're unsure, you're allowed to ask.
Good signs
- The conversation went both ways: they asked about you and followed up.
- The date ran longer than planned, or you moved on to a second place.
- They mentioned something to do together later: a place, a film, a dish.
- They texted after, or replied warmly when you did.
Mistakes to avoid
- Planning a long, expensive first date that's hard to leave.
- Checking your phone during the date.
- Talking about exes in detail.
- Leaving without saying clearly whether you'd like to meet again.
