10 embarrassing situations on a first date and how to avoid them

1. Some of you are late

It happens that the date is not set from the beginning: arranged to meet at six o'clock already half past six, and you wait and wait. It seems okay, but still gnaws question: what if no one comes?

If you are late, the reason there are too nervous: you never know, suddenly you will not wait. Anyway, if you miss already on a first date, the second can not be.

What to do

Get ready in advance. Ideally should lay on everything, including the preparation and the road, at least for 30-40 minutes more than usual. First date - the event is quite nervous, so the extra time will not be superfluous.

On the eve of visits specify the time and place of the meeting that none of you mixed up nothing. If you understand that it is impossible to arrive on time, be sure to warn the person who is waiting for you. Common courtesy, nothing out of the ordinary.

2. Your partner in the photo and in life - it's two different people

You prettily communicate online, arrange a date, but here's the surprise - come not at all the kind of person you expected to see. Whether on his alien avatar picture, whether its own, but otfotoshoplennaya beyond recognition - in any case, you've got is not what we expected.

What to do

If you meet online, choose to search for partner-tested services. As a rule, they care about is to save users from similar problems. For example, Badoo has a verification system. If a user profile is worth a blue check mark, it means that all the moderators checked and pictured this man.

Want more photos - ask selfie interlocutor chatting. You can even go on a date before the real virtual - in mobile app Badoo has a chat.

Live chat will help to break the awkwardness barrier at the time of the transition from online communication to the real so that you will feel more free.

3. You do not know how to greet each other

With open arms to climb like as early as the awkward "Uh-uh, hello" - this is something very sad. As a result, you both stand and mnotes, not daring to start a conversation. Shy on the first date is not only teenagers - adults and quite independent people, too, is not alone.

What to do

Remember: shy - this is normal. Think you first, so there is nothing strange, it will initially be a feeling of tightness. Do not turn in on themselves - you come out on a date, to have a good time, so try to relax.

Your interlocutor for sure is not very comfortable - do not hang up on him more and duty to stir and otherwise entertain you. Smile kidding (but not to the point) - once you come out on a date, it means that this person is something you drew, so give him the same feel it.

4. There was an awkward pause in the conversation

The conversation is not glued. Are you trying to talk something about one of the other, but the conversation is constantly eroding. As a result, a date is converted into a torture: sit, silent and want to hurry home. It is a pity, but because at first it looked promising.

What to do

First date - as interviews: the more carefully you have to prepare for it, the better it be. If you met in Badoo, There is generally a breeze: nurse on the list of his interests, will fall something unfamiliar - google that at least roughly imagine what it was about. As a result, you'll have a list of topics that could be discussed when the conversation will go into a dead end.

When you can not pre-examine the person's interests, it is necessary to do it right on the date. Your sincere interest - it is a sign that the other person liked you, so feel free to ask questions and do not hesitate to specify if you know a little about some of his hobbies. Tell me about yourself - suddenly there are some points of contact, will be an occasion to meet again.

5. Interlocutor all night sticks in a smartphone

You are trying for something to talk about, but in vain: as a companion buried in the phone at the beginning of the meeting and does not get out of there. Is that assents out of place when you have it about something ask.

He seems to do not care what you have, what is not - but would not interfere. As a result, you despair to get his attention and also picks up a smartphone. Excellent date, 10 out of 10.

What to do

Perhaps your partner are having some urgent matters at work, perhaps he needs something to solve with family or friends. Ask what's the problem - if something really important, it may be better to move a date for later.

If all the questions he answers: "No, nothing urgent" - but stubbornly continues to poke a finger in the screen, unfortunately, it is unlikely from this that something will turn out. Or you it is not very interesting, and he fell into dependence on their precious smartphone - both options put on the development of relations between the cross. It happens, do not worry.

6. During meal time there was a discomfiture

Everything seems there is a good - sit in a cafe, chatting about anything, when you accidentally tipping his lap a plate with salad. Or even worse: the source hypnotizes you look (here it is, right now begin to pour compliments!) And gives out: "Oh, you petrushechka stuck in the teeth."

I do not want it to burn with shame, not to erase the memory itself, and in general it all. Alas, will not work. We'll have to live with it.

What to do

Self-irony will save you - in shameful situations it is best to laugh it off and move the conversation to another topic. Such stories even pull together: on the first date wants to show their best side, as a result if you sit on pins and needles, and are afraid to move once again or blurt out something wrong. What you feared has happened, so that we can finally relax and be yourself.

The worst thing that you can do - it's all night whining about his clumsiness and constantly recall regrettable incident. It was - well, do not suffer the same now until the end of his life because of nonsense.

7. You do not know what to do on a date

I passed on the strength of an hour, and you have discussed all the interesting topics and frankly bored. To go home kind of early, and do not want, and ideas what else to do, no. Sitting in the cafe tired, walk in the park - a dubious pleasure. In the end, somehow the decency to hatch an hour and a quick goodbye - well them, these visits, one more fun.

What to do

Advance to figure out what you will do. A date without a more or less clear plan - so-so idea. You are not so close to a few hours at a time to chat about anything, so it's best to choose the option where you do not have to especially try to entertain each other.

Find out what your companion is interested in: perhaps he's crazy about the superhero movie (mean, you can go to the movies) or loves extreme (welcome to the amusement park). Annex Badoo all interests at a glance - choose from the list that you also like and decide together how to have fun.

8. Not enough money to pay off in a row

You sat in a nice coffee shop, but then the waiter brings the check. You look at the total amount, and understand: It's arrived. In the purse you except that half of the required. A rather unpleasant situation: say, have not calculated spending, ashamed, but to pay all the same need.

What to do

Honesty - the best policy, so do not go around the bush. Admit satellite or companion that gatherings have cost more expensive than you planned. If you can help share the costs - wonderful, just be sure to ask how and when you will be able to repay the debt.

Another option - to call friends to have brought the missing amount. Will have to wait, but show that you can solve the problems of their (well, almost) forces.

9. You actively hint at the continuation of the banquet

Everything seems nice, but you do not feel the obsessive attention of the interlocutor: the podsyadet closer, then priobnimet, then releases the sebaceous joke. When a date is nearing its end, and it does make a knight's move and invites you to continue the acquaintance in a more relaxed atmosphere.

What to do

I do not want - do not agree, you are nobody and owe nothing. In any case, remember the basic safety rules: warn the close, where and with whom you go, leave their contact data of the person, whom he had met. The first date is better to arrange in public places - so it will be easier to get rid of the overly obsessive boyfriend.

Hint for the future: Use only approved services for singles. IN Badoo each user must confirm with the pictures, mobile phone numbers and profiles on social networks, that the account belongs to him. Moderators check all images that are loaded into the application. And if someone attacks you with obscene messages, feel free to write in support, and insolent block.

10. It seems that the interlocutor is not all homes

You do not notice the small talk turned the wrong way. It started peacefully, but now the source in all seriousness rubs you some nonsense about a flat Earth, world conspiracies and secret government Reptilians. You sit and you realize that it is necessary to escape. The faster and farther the better.

What to do

In order not to waste time on dates with strange people, after experiencing better yet at first talk at a distance. Start with the correspondence, then offer at least a couple of times to talk to videochat - for example, in Annex Badoo. When you realize that before you sane and quite an attractive man, boldly appointments.
