Four Things That Could Go Wrong On Your Next First Date

2/28/2020

Does anyone really look forward to a first date?

First dates are supposed to be exciting, a time for discovery and getting to know the quirks and laugh of someone new. You’ve agreed to the date because you’re interested in the person who has asked you out. The thing is, no matter which way you look at it, a first date is but an interview - not for a job, of course, but for a partner. You use this time to see how the conversation flows. You know whether they’re funny. If you’re really interested, you see how they land their vote politically, too. It’s all-important, and yet so many things can go wrong on a date.

This is where the nerves kick in. Will it be the spinach in the teeth of old? Will it be the brownie you bite into that breaks your tooth enough to need same day tooth crowns sorted out? Will you get plain old stood up? The nerves are real, and the things that can go wrong on a first date are also real. They can seriously test you and knock your confidence, so forewarned is forearmed!

Let’s take a look at things that could go wrong on the next first date you have - so you can be ready for anything.

  • You Can’t Find Them
You were supposed to meet at the bar at 6pm. You dashed home from work, showered and changed and got there on time, so you wait. You check your phone: they’ve messaged to say they’ve arrived. You can’t see them anywhere. You have to do now that thing of staring around a busy bar looking for someone you have only seen on Facebook (or worse: on Tinder). It’s a bad start to what will be a long date!
  • You’re Late - On The Subway
You didn’t drive or get a cab because it’s not too far to the chosen date location. You’ve decided instead to hop the subway. Of course, this is the moment that something goes wrong: on a tunnel, underground, with no signal. It’s not easy to recover from being late as it is, but what if you’re delayed for much longer than 10-15 minutes? You’re going to have some serious explaining to do - if he ever picks up the phone again. It’s not your fault, but it’s the first date - he’s going to be expecting the worst if you’re late!
  • The Conversation Is Dead
Oh, how you have TRIED. Over text and email, he was charming, witty, wordy. And yet in front of you nursing his drink, he doesn’t have a clue how to keep the conversation moving. Or worse - he doesn’t want to talk much. A first date is all about sparkles and sparks flying, which means that a dead conversation is one that can really pour a bucket of water over any chance of a second date. Of course, he could just be nervous, but that doesn’t help you!
  • There’s An Emergency
Someone has choked on their food, or broken a tooth, or impaled their eye on a stray toothpick. No matter what it is, the ambulances have been called and someone is headed to hospital. It doesn’t do much for the old self-esteem when a first date is ruined, never mind hospitalized!
