People Share Encouraging Signs of a First Date
We are often warned about the red flags when on a date but it’s also good to know what to look out for at the beginning of a potential relationship. Here are some awesome stuff to look for when on a first date.
- When they actually pay attention to what you’re talking about and even make the effort to come back to the topic if interrupted.
Genuine interest is always a green flag. It’s very hard to fake and is one of the strongest indicators that the other person is engaged.
- A friend of mine hit it off in the car with her date that they ended up driving over two hours PAST their date destination. When conversation is that good, you’ve got a blaring green light! They’re married for around 15 years now.
- Talking for five hours but only thinking the date lasted around 90 minutes.
Great conversation is a hallmark of compatibility. If something is lacking in this department, there could be a deeper issue with the two of you.
- I tend to look for some of the same things I look for when interviewing employee candidates, body-language wise. Leaning forward, active listening, not the kind of person who formulates their next point of discussion while I’m still talking, etc.
