Unless you can read a woman’s mind, there aren’t that many ways to tell if a date is going well.
Since every date is unique, there really isn’t a universal barometer that you can use to gauge just how well your first date is going.
Like you, we also wish that it was as simple as asking: “Are you having a good time with me?”. In reality, though, you are going to have to read between the lines and peel several layers of unspoken signs of attraction and indicators of interest to figure that out.
That’s exactly what we want to uncover in this blog.
By the time you’re done reading this, you would know about the 5 subtle signs of attraction found during EVERY first date which indicate that you are well on your way to landing a second date.
One way you can tell that you have great chemistry is when you feel at ease with one another.
Body language shows interest much quicker than words. Pay attention to eye contact, as it can suggest that a woman has sexual attraction to you if she continues looking into your eyes. Be sure to see if her pupils dilate, as this too may be a sign that she finds you attractive.
Another good sign to look for during a first date are the direction in which her feet are pointed. If she has her feet pointed towards you, common signs of attraction suggest that you're physically attractive to her.
Many women will also touch your arm in conversation, even if they've done some subconsciously. As you become more attractive to the opposite sex, expect more inadvertent body contact to happen.
When you are comfortable out on a date, you won't feel the need to put on a facade and pretend to be someone you’re not to get her to like you.
This is really more of an intuition than a sign or a hint that your date will give off. If you feel at ease being your most authentic self around her without fear of judgment, then congratulations may be in order.
It can be intimidating talking to someone you’ve never met. If you find it easy to talk to your date regardless of the topic, then you’re off to a promising start.
It’s also easier to get to know someone who you can easily talk to. That’s because you wouldn’t hesitate to ask questions and she would also be game to answer them.
You can also joke around and not worry about offending her.
The fact that you never checked your phones (or even looked for other distractions) shows how focused you two are with each other.
On the other hand, when your date reaches for her phone constantly, that’s a sign that you’re in trouble. She could either be bored or is looking for an excuse to bail.
The only time you should ever pull out your phone is at the end of a successful date to save each other’s numbers.
Time flies when you’re having fun with the right woman. When you’re having such a good time on your first date, you won’t want it to end and neither will she.
So if she said yes to going for dessert or any kind of unplanned activities that require a change in venue after you had dinner, that could be a subtle hint that she doesn’t want the night to end yet either.
If she says yes to an encore, make sure that you make the most out of this opportunity. Not everyone gets the chance to extend the night with the girl they really like. So capitalize on your great start and make sure you end the night on a positive note as well.
This is probably the most telling sign of attraction on the list. If she agreed or even directly implied that she wants to see you again, that means she’s interested - there’s no other way to put it.
If you play your cards right, a loving relationship may just be on the horizon.
If you seem unsure during your date, just remember these dating tips to help you gauge whether you need to make adjustments to your approach or not. Don’t forget to just relax and enjoy the date as much as you can. At the end of the day, your goal is still to get to know her and have fun.
