Well, I once heard a story. A guy was on his first date with a girl he really liked. They went to a nice restaurant. But unfortunately, he had some bad food before the date. Mid - date, he started feeling really sick and had diarrhea. He was so embarrassed. He had to excuse himself multiple times. In the end, the girl was understanding but it was still a very awkward first date.
One common cause could be nerves. When you're on a first date, you're likely to be very nervous. This can mess with your digestive system and lead to diarrhea. For example, your body releases stress hormones like cortisol, which can affect the normal functioning of your gut.
First, try to relax. Take some deep breaths and remind yourself that it's just a date. Calming your nerves can often help ease your digestive issues. For instance, you can do a quick five - minute meditation before the date.
The worst things? Firstly, the physical discomfort is horrible. You're in pain and constantly worried. Secondly, it can make the first date end very abruptly. If the diarrhea is really bad, you might have to cut the date short and leave, which is not a good impression. Thirdly, it can create a negative memory associated with the person. Even if the other person is understanding, every time you think back to the first date, you'll remember the diarrhea incident and it might overshadow any positive feelings that could have developed.
For a casual date, like going for a walk in the park, you can wear a nice pair of jeans and a stylish top. It's comfortable and still looks put - together.
One common experience is the nervousness. Both people might be a bit jittery, not knowing exactly what to say or do at first. Another is the excitement of getting to know someone new, like learning about their hobbies and interests. Also, there could be that awkward moment of silence that sometimes pops up.
Another way is to ask an open - ended question related to the current situation. Like if you're at a coffee shop, you can say 'What's your favorite thing to order here?' This gives the other person a chance to talk more about themselves and their preferences. It shows that you're interested in their opinions and can lead to a deeper conversation.
Dress neatly and appropriately. Clean and tidy appearance always helps. Also, be polite and respectful. Listen when the other person is talking instead of just waiting for your turn to speak.
Here's a story. There was this couple on their first date. They decided to go for a walk in the park. Mid - way, the guy had a sudden urge. He was so embarrassed but he couldn't hold it. He quickly found a bush and had to poop there. His date was shocked at first but then she thought it was kind of funny in a strange way. After that, they continued their date more casually.
I once had a first date where we were driving in my car. Suddenly, we had a blowout. It was quite scary at first. But then it turned into an adventure. We managed to pull over safely. We called for help and while waiting, we got to know each other better. It was an unexpected turn of events that made the date more memorable.
