Dating is like a rollercoaster ride. Sometimes you are on cloud nine, and sometimes things are too slow. The right approach will help you take your relationship in the right direction. Let’s cut the chase and have some real talk.

Read ahead to know more about how to follow up after the first date:

Leave the conventional approach and get in the bold avatar

Wondering what we are saying? The conventional idea of dating revolves around men making the first move. But girls, we are in the 21st century. You don’t have to shy away from sharing your emotions. Don’t wait for the right moment. If you have had a good date, this is the right moment to reciprocate your sentiment without waiting.

Secret 1 – Stop being generic and be specific

Well, you have had a fantastic first date: long conversation, strolling around and exchanging emotions. Your first date spurred new emotions and you have collywobbles. And now is the time to take your relationship ahead. Don’t beat about the bush. Try asking specific questions about their likes and preferences. Like discussing a new TV show or a match; ask questions about it. The more specific you are, the better it shows you attention to your partner’s preferences. If your partner remembers the minutest details of your liking it instills a sense of excitement. So, move ahead and extend the communication you had the last time.

Secret 2 -Read the hidden words

Dating should be a journey, not a destination. People often don’t open up, but they do drop the signs of attractions. And you must read them well. For example, if your date asked about meeting up in the new café opening up in the town. This is a sure sign that the person is keen and wants to meet you. So, if you are serious about escalating your relationship to the next level, this is the time to unveil the hidden meaning and act accordingly.

Secret 3 – Is there a timeframe?

You are not dating as per the rulebook. A good relationship is all about free-flowing emotions and communication. So, if you presume that there is a buffer time after your first date, then the answer is no. If you have had a good time on your first date, wasting time and waiting for the right moment to strikes is not the right approach. Make a move, tell your partner that you loved the first date and are looking forward to the next meeting.

Secret 5 – Take the lead

Dating is a beautiful journey, and you would want it to be the best. First date and response after it can be an overwhelming experience for many. With these tips and the right approach, you can take your relationship a level up.
