First date mistakes that kill attraction. Number 1 is having the wrong mindset. Feeling like this is a do-or-die situation, or feeling like this is your future wife so you've gotta make a good first impression. Do a reality check. She's not your wife, not right now. Right now this is just two people seeing if they like each other enough to go on another date. Take the pressure off. Number 2, planning the wrong activity. Sometimes she doesn't say no because she doesn't want to go out with you, but instead it's because the activity makes her feel uncomfortable. Especially on the first date, you want to make sure you give her 2 to 3 options so she can choose what she's going to feel most comfortable doing with you. This is going to help you get a yes much more often. Mistake number 3 is not preparing what to say before you ever pick her up. You should go to the date with a list of things in mind of what to talk about, questions to ask. This helps you avoid that awkward pause where both of you start sweating and freaking out. When you're prepared, you don't need to fear. Number 4 is trying too hard to make it feel magical. Putting so much pressure to make this feel like an amazing first date. Remember, this is not a date with your wife. This is a date with someone that you're attracted to and you hope it goes somewhere. But she's not your wife yet. When the first date is too elaborate or expensive, it can be very off-putting to her. She feels a ton of pressure, and then she's not going to relax and enjoy herself. Did you learn something new?
