How to End a First Date on a Positive Note

You have read dozens of articles on how to ask a girl out, how to arrange a date and what to do during it, but you’re still wondering how you’re supposed to say goodbye? Two scenarios of your further relationship after your date are possible: either you liked each other and want a second date, or you feel there is no point in seeing that person again, as you are just not meant to be together. The following strategies developed by GoDateNow.com will help you secure your chances for the next meeting and help end your first date without hurting somebody’s feelings.

• Set the time limits.
Make sure that your first dates aren’t very long. You’re making first endeavors to get to know and make some conclusions about each other, so a brief dinner or a short walk will be enough to see each other and get some food for thought. Give your date a notice how long your meeting will take so that you both know what to expect and how to plan the rest of your day or evening. When your date comes to an end, thank a girl for a nice evening, gently shake her hand or hug if you think it’ll be appropriate, and go away. If you really liked that girl, let her know that you’d like to have a second date. If she feels the same, you’ll get a positive answer. Then, be ready to tell your date when and how you’ll contact her and walk the talk. Do this clarification quickly and naturally.

• Be sincere.
One of the key rules of taking your leave at the end of a date is to express your intentions concerning your further rendezvous. Don’t promise to call and don’t say you want to see her again when indeed you think that it’s your first and last date. By not sticking to your promises you may hurt the feelings of that girl making her think of herself as a complete failure.

• Better ask.
Imagine that you’re dining at a restaurant and your meals are coming to an end. Your move here should be to suggest changing the place. For example, you may offer to have a cup of coffee at some other nice place in the vicinity. Also, add that you’re getting a kick out of being with her and would like to prolong this date at your favorite café. If she’s into you, she’ll agree without long hesitation. However, if she’s not very enthusiastic about you or your date or she’s being late for the other event, she’ll reject your offer or suggest finding another time for enjoying your company again.

• Keep a casual atmosphere.
Your saying goodbye should be consistent with the general tone of your date. That’s why, be as casual and relaxed as you can during the whole date. By maintaining the comfort of conversation you’ll be able to get to know the person you’re dating much better, and you both will get a better idea of each other when the time to say goodbye comes. Ending your date in an easy-going atmosphere will benefit you anyway.

• Watch the body language.
Want to know what’s on your date’s mind? Have a closer look at her. Does she step closer and lean in? If you notice that she really does, that’s a sign she liked you and she doesn’t mind a goodnight kiss. Remember that first kisses are gentle and tongue-free.
