You mentioned a good list of advices for a first date, and I agree with you.
Don’t be distracted, be present and show respect. Get to know each other and be genuine, only way to really get to know someone ♥️
And YES.. I seen that many times to, friends who trying to change their partner to what they want... But should let them be themselves as they are.
Whole point is to meet someone who match you, who loves you for who you are and you should do The same.
Instead of changing each other we forms together as time goes.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Have a wonderful weekend. Cheers 🌹
