It seems like every time someone talks about meeting on a first date, they hope to have chemistry. But how to spot chemistry on a first date can be difficult. And sometimes it seems to mean different things to different people.
For some people chemistry is just the raw physical attraction. For others it can be a combination of things you have in common and some physical attraction. Clearly getting to know a person a little before a first date will help with chemistry.
There are actually people on dating apps that want to meet without even speaking. That is not only a sure way that you’ll probably have a bad date but could be dangerous. And you’ll waste time on the date talking about very basic things you could have covered over the phone. But what happens if a different person shows up ? Remember you haven’t even heard their voice yet. Who wants to be trapped on a date with someone with an annoying voice.
It’s a good idea to video chat before meeting. That will eliminate any catfish issues and you’ll see if you like the person.
Once you’re on your date, its good to sit next to them, not across. You’ll be able to hear each other better.
