Part 3/7:
Lori highlights a few key mistakes that many make on their first dates, particularly when it comes to the setting and duration of the meeting. She discourages agreeing to a lengthy dinner, especially if there’s no pre-established chemistry. Instead, she suggests opting for a more relaxed environment, such as a coffee shop or a walk. This allows for natural conversation without the pressure of a lengthy commitment if things don’t go well.
Staying away from traditional dinner dates until there is palpable attraction helps minimize the risk of feeling stuck if a connection doesn’t materialize. Simple drinks or short outings further reduce pressure, affording both parties the opportunity to gauge if there is genuine chemistry.
