What are your first date expectations?

[ey****]

first date expectations?  Well, yeah - I'd say none... but that we meet where/when agreed and communicated if there's change of plan

[M1****]

I dont have any, the best part is learning about the person and seeing/feeling who they are

Expectations just keep you chained to your own experience and never let you see the world in a new light

[Md****]

I dont go into any thing expecting anything. No one "owes" me anything. If it happens on the first meet up thats great, and that has happened, but its never expected. I guess it depends on how long I or we may have previously been talking to them via social media or video calls. My now ex would agree with me

I'd go for truthfulness, but that might be stretching it...

You mean you aske girls on date must be nice I don’t get asked out!

I confess, my first date, the girl asked me, and we did a double date with her older brother and his girlfriend. It was all vanilla stuff back then, of course and nothing at all sexual, but it goes to show how ridiculously hard it is to ask when you're shy, or second guessing how, when, what to do, et cetera. Only reason I'm not asking now with any success is I'm swimming in a shallow pool, so to speak, and dont have consistent privacy where I live.

I like public dinner dates. Absolutely no expectations! Just a simple meet and greet to get acquainted and check the vibes and chemistry! Before meeting l always insist on talking on the phone, a small level of interaction! At that point l inform my date SHE dictates the next step. I rarely agree to have Sex immediately, it burns out the whole much too quickly! So this is my go too routine for arranging a “ date( meeting) of any potential partner!!!

The first date will always happen at a public restaurant. I pay for my own meal and I order my own food. I expect the person to be dressed nicely and to be hygienic. I expect them to be able to engage in conversation. I expect them to have a job and transportation. I expect them to be on time. I never have sex on the first date because I’m a sapiosexual and I have to be able to meet the person on a variety of levels before even thinking about sex.

I understand your independence completely! However I am very old school, if l do the inviting them I expect to pay for the meal as a courtesy, not an investment! Second I completely agree with a public setting, separate vehicles or transportation, one should be dressed appropriately and be on time!!! I agree with you controlling the pace also!!! But only disagree with the concept of you paying for your meal!! Lol

My ideal first date is a museam, botanical garden, or zoo. something where we can walk, talk, interact with eachother while interacting with the world around us together.

i find you get to know people better when you see how they react to ***tings, gardens, or ***s.

a truly superb first date finds a way to do them all.

Kindness and polite manners; show up on time or early; be yourself, curious , and open minded

[Ba****]

Im all about a pre-first date....meet me at a bar or coffee shop. Let's talk and get to know each other first for a bit....then we can go on a date. I make very good *** so it has nothing to do with payong for a dinner.....I just dont want to be locked into dinner and whatever for 3 hours if we find out we are incompatible after 15 minutes. If we are compatible and like each other enough, then let's go on a date.

[el****]

Fun and present. Otherwise it’s distasteful

[AL****]

Get to know a bit of each other first before anything, more confutable know a bit about the person I’ll engage kinks with

[Ro****]

Just basic human decency & manners, if they can't show that, then it won't work.

[ne****]

Spontaneous and uninhibited. If it's organic, magic can happen.

[bo****]

I expect it to be not bad, nothing more specific than that

[ok****]

First time I meet someone, I don't exspect anything. That dosn't mean nothing is going to happen, so I have learned to be prepared.
