How to pick a great double date idea?
How you start your relationship today portrays how well you will carry it in the future. So make the best out of this time by following these dating tips…
1. Know your friends
You are going on double dates to enjoy yourself with your partner. I completely get it. But, you will be accompanied by your friend and their partner as well. So, know their likes and dislikes to plan the date properly.
2. Go for the right date idea
This is where understanding your friends comes into play. Know what ideas they will appreciate. Don’t choose activities that demand excess attention and time.
Focus on dates where you can hold conversations with each other and bond together.
3. Keep a time frame
You’re dying to spend the entire day together, but that’s too much buddy. However, a very narrow time frame doesn’t sound good either. You’re four people, it will take you some time to gel with each other.
So, plan activities that fit your available hours. Eventually, it’s not how much time you spend, it’s how well and comfortably you spend it.
4. Talk wisely
Don’t try to run the show and be the center of attraction. Trust me if you do this, you’ll turn your date off, so let everyone participate freely. Avoid serious discussions and keep your topics light. Whenever a topic gets heated up, divert it.
Sometimes you get too absorbed in a discussion and your mindless words might sting others. They might not agree with all your opinions. Similarly, if you don’t like what they say, learn to let go. Don’t ruin your precious time by indulging in debates.
5. Be yourself
Last but the most important thing is to be comfortable in your company. A company where you have to mask your real self, just to impress others’ is of no use. However, behave yourself and tackle poor situations smartly. Don’t make others uncomfortable.
A word from ThePleasantRelationship
Now that you’ve unfolded so many ideas to make your date most enjoyable, remember to prioritize comfort. Respect each other’s and your own boundaries, and don’t risk your comfort to impress others.
Worried you’ll ruin your impression for not compromising?
Trust me, sticking to your boundaries is the hottest thing now… it’ll show you respect yourself and can respect others.
Moreover, refusing to perform a task will not do as much harm as accepting something beyond your limits. Your partner might even judge you for being unaware of your limits.
Similarly, don’t force others out of their comfort zone. Respect each other’s choices, and they’ll always love you for being such a sensible double date partner!
