The first date is one of the most anxious moments in a single person’s life. It’s a threshold which one crosses with mixed emotions that are ruled by the heart as your logical mind takes a back seat. The excitement of going on a date lingers long after you are back home with our without a good night kiss. Don’t try to think and analyze that night as the mind and heart are jumbled up since you have high expectations for the date. Allow yourself eighteen hours before you start to analyze your date and the time spent together.

Understanding the positive and negative signs after the first date helps one to clear the mind of confusing thoughts and decide on continuing to date this person or not.

Positive Signs:

• She does not take out her cellphone even once when you are together

• He asks her if we can do another round of drinks if she can handle it

• He texts her the same night asking you got home okay

• She texts him the same night telling him she had a great time

Negative Signs:

• Evening ends abruptly with either of them saying that they need to leave or have to go to work early in the morning

• Consistently picking an argument with your date on almost every word mentioned

• Your date tells you that he/she has just broken up and there are other people who he/she is seeing

• No good bye hug/kiss and the date felt like an interview rather than a fun night out

These are a few common signs, analyze the more subtle ones and you can predict if there is going to be a second date with this person or not.
