How to increase the odds of a second date:
Have a positive conversation by asking questions about future plans. Forward speaking encourages communication to remain positive and allows your date to get a glimpse of what life would look like should you become a couple down the road.
When you talk about your ex, you are guaranteed to diminish the opportunity for chemistry to build and most likely find yourself in negative territory for a future date. Show interest by putting your phone away! If you can’t disengage with your phone on a first date, then it shows disinterest or lack of respect for their time. When you show respect by prioritizing your date you increase the likelihood of a second date happening.
Lastly, be yourself and smile! Your date will know if you’re not being genuine and a smile goes a long way in building a positive rapport.
Cheers to an incredible dating life!
