"From our first meeting, I knew I would spend the rest of my life with you. I'm glad I was right," wrote Getoari for Marina's birthday. "Happy birthday to the most wonderful woman I know."
How about you, how do you know from the first meeting that he/she is the right person for you? This part is a little subjective, however, we will focus on the signs that show that he/she is not for you.
1. Too many empty spaces in the chat
On first dates, there will definitely be moments when you are silent, but if you both have trouble filling these quiet moments with conversation topics, then you probably don't have enough interests in common. If you're just nervous, talk about it.
2. The conflict
Topics should be kept off the table on a first date, but if you happen to talk about them and disagree, that's a sign that you're not a good fit on another level. If you disagree on the important things, what about the unimportant ones?
3. Use of mobile phone
Keeping your cell phone on the table during a meeting is rude, but using it is even more rude. Both of you should focus on the conversation and each other, not texting or social media.
4. There is no chemistry
Some things are out of your control. It's important to focus on chemistry during your first date because it's a powerful indicator of your romantic potential.
5. You start thinking about the bill
A clear sign that you can't wait to get out of there.
6. It sounds like an interrogation, not a conversation
First meetings are always simple questions and easy conversations, but you don't have to feel like you're in the police station.
7. Mention of formers
The purpose of a date is to get to know someone new, not to drown in memories of the past. Not only is talking about exes an awkward topic, but it also seems like you have someone else on your mind.
8. It ends too quickly
If the first date is short lived, the chances of a second date happening are very low.
