How To Ward Off Awkwardness On The First Date

For many individuals who are new to the matrimony dating scene, first dates can be quite challenging. There is no relationship, you don't know the person at all, and everything is new. Things tend to get awkward within the first hour, especially if you put too much pressure on yourself to be entertaining, interesting, or intelligent.

Fret not! There are ways to avoid any trepidation and turn the date into a memorable experience. MatchMe, a leading matrimonial agency offering elite matrimonial service in Dubai UAE, is here with a two-step process and some pretty helpful tips on warding off the awkwardness and kindle the romantic flame. Come, let's take a look!

Step -1: Avoid being awkward on the first date

Maybe you're a naturally socially awkward person, or it's just your nerves that are getting to you. Of course, everyone worries about the first date, and you can't avoid the worst-case scenario. But there are things you can do to avoid creating awkward situations when you're on a date.

Just relax

This is the single biggest way to ensure you are not making your date awkward. People can sense if you are nervous or tense, which only makes the situation worse. To calm your nerves, simply imagine that the person you are talking to is your friend. You want to avoid certain topics (like past relationships, for instance). But treat your date like a friend, and you will soon feel more comfortable and able to speak freely.

Ask questions

The person who tends not to open the conversation tends to be the one who makes the date awkward. You have to be able to continue the conversation and commit to what the other person is saying. Else, it becomes apparent that you are, at least a little, socially inept. You should be intrigued by your date and interested enough in what they are saying to keep things going.

Keep it Simple

Here’s another useful tip observed by MatchMe’s team while offering VIP wedding service in Dubai UAE. If you are a naturally nervous person when it comes to dating, keep your first date simple. Arrange to meet for coffee instead of dinner so that you can keep pressure to a minimum. Also, if the date doesn't go well, you don't have to sit down to eat before you have a chance to interrupt the meeting. Also, if the date goes well, you can always spend more time with your date and see where it leads.

Step - 2: Avoid awkward silences on the first date

So, maybe you've done everything right; You've stayed relaxed, kept the date simple, and engaged in their conversation, but still, end up with awkward silences. This is not detrimental, but knowing how to avoid awkward silences will help keep the conversation flowing and make you seem interesting.

Ask more open questions

Sometimes simply asking questions is not enough if it denotes a short answer. You should ask the question more openly. For example, instead of just asking how they make a living, ask them what they enjoy about their job or if they would change anything about it. By doing this, you create an environment conducive to conversation and leading in many different directions. Plus, you'll be able to learn more about your date than what is purely on the surface.

Talk about your passions

Some singles will hold back on the first date regarding their hobbies and interests, as it may seem unattractive, but this can lead to awkward silences. You are more likely to talk at length and in an exciting way when discussing something you are interested in. Your date may not like gaming or sports, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't open up and talk about aspects of your life that are important to you.

Be present

People can always tell when you are not genuinely listening or don't care what they are saying. When they find out, they will end up finishing what they were saying and not continuing the conversation because it doesn't seem like it's worth it. So, if you want to avoid awkward first dates, then make an effort and commit to the person you are with.

So, these were some useful tips to ward off awkwardness on the first date. Know someone who’s not good at the dating game? Fret not! MatchMe’s elite matrimonial service in Dubai UAE can help you meet high-quality matches online and offline in Dubai.
