To create a good impression of yourself and to gain sympathy from your interlocutor, try to avoid the following common mistakes on the first date.
Don't have too high expectations
Don't think that you'll start building a common future on the first date. Don't joke about living together or make loud statements about your interlocutor's character, like how good a father/mother he/she would be - you don't know him/her at all.
Don't talk about old grievances
Of course, each of us has some experience in relationships, and it is not always pleasant. However, beware of starting a conversation about old grievances when you first meet a potential partner - leave this topic for a psychologist.
Don't touch on politics
The first date should definitely not be turned into a political debate. If it is important to you that the man/woman have similar political views, at least wait until the second date to weed out those who do not fit this criterion.
Don't close yourself off
Some people may find it difficult to talk about themselves on a first date, but it is important to share at least some aspects of your life. Talking about your interests or hobbies can help open up the conversation and make it more interesting for both parties.
Don't be too persistent
If you consider sex a logical continuation of the first date, be prepared for the fact that your partner may have different views on this issue. It is important to be confident and be able to calmly accept rejection. This is the kind of behavior that seems most attractive to other people.
