A good 1st is going home happy and content, not sad, or angry or disappointed,.

I have found that going out and getting totally wasted together does give you a good perspective on the other person and you on them. It totally breaks the ice, can be real fun and you see each other totally raw. It is a good thing.

My issue with a first date is…. Actually getting around to meeting up🤷🏼‍♀️.
Last year and into this year “availability and timings” have been the main issue.
When I’m available he’s not and vice versa.
It’s so frustrating.
I’ve given up on several men because I felt he was wasting my time and his.
It’s gotten to the point where one of the first questions I now ask is “When are you available and how often can you meet up”.
Blunt I know but it’s better than wasting weeks TRYING to make arrangements for a first date 😬🙄🫤😕

I'm on the spectrum, so nothing where I'm forced to sit opposite and maintain eye contact or do small talk. That won't show me at my best.

I much prefer something where we're active such as a walk somewhere.

I had a first date that wouldn't let go of my hand. And it went on and on - tight too, and it got sweaty in there! I had to drink my drink with my 'wrong' hand. I started to think maybe he was going to keep my hand, maybe in a box...it was the 'right' one, it might have been useful! Actually got past the point of politely asking for my hand back!

All true!

My first meet stats are an equal number of coffees and meals. Hand holding is optional, as is going somewhere more private if the mood takes us.

For me, first date needs to be a coffee or drink in public, but ideally somewhere where you can get a bit of privacy in the sense of not being overheard and not advertising your presence to everyone who enters, pubs with lots of little alcoves, corners etc. Situated somewhere that's not in either parties normal stomping grounds.
I remember on a second date with an IE we went to one if those premium cinemas and booked one of the 'lovers seats' and when we arrived to collect the member of staff made a big deal of the whole 'lovers seats eh? Someone's on a promise ' etc. etc. It was so embarrassing and hardly discreet!

I like my first date to go like this:
1. Bridge test (see previously)
2. Meet up in the handbag dept in Harrods
3. Afternoon Tea at Fortnums
4. Trip to Anne Summers
5. Cocktails and nibbles
6. Hotel / Back of my camper van / Quickie in an alley way.

Not necessarily in that order.
