In case it smells really bad, you could excuse yourself and go to the bathroom. Spray some perfume or something when you come back. Then, when you return, change the topic to something more interesting to distract from the incident.
Well, one common thing that could go wrong is bad communication. For example, if one person just talks about themselves the whole time without showing any interest in the other. Another is having really different expectations for the date, like one thinking it's a casual coffee meet and the other expecting a fancy dinner. And sometimes, personal hygiene can be an issue. If someone shows up looking unkempt or smelling bad, that can definitely make the date awful.
My friend had a first date at a park. They were sitting on a bench having a nice conversation when a huge gust of wind blew by. It blew my friend's hat right into a nearby pond. His date found it hilarious and they ended up spending the rest of the date trying to fish the hat out with a stick.
On my first date, I felt extremely nervous. My palms were sweating and my heart was racing. But as we started talking, I gradually relaxed. There was this warm feeling in my chest when we found common interests. It was like a little spark of connection.
On a first date, you can expect to get to know each other better. There will likely be some small talk to start with, like asking about each other's jobs or hobbies. You might also share some stories from your past, not too deep though. And there could be a bit of nervousness which is normal.
Do be on time for your first date. Punctuality shows respect for your date's time. For example, if you've made a reservation at a restaurant, being late can make both you and your date uncomfortable. Don't talk only about yourself. It's a date, not a monologue. Share the conversation and be interested in what your date has to say. I once went on a date with a guy who just talked about his job and his hobbies non - stop, and it was really boring.
A classic first date mishap is when there are awkward silences. My cousin had a first date where they both just couldn't seem to find good topics to talk about. They would ask a question, get a short answer, and then there would be this long, uncomfortable silence. But then they found a common interest in a TV show they both liked, and that broke the ice. Also, showing up underdressed or overdressed can be a problem. A guy showed up to a coffee date in a full suit when his date was in jeans and a t - shirt. It made the situation a bit strange at first, but they laughed about it later.
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.
It is completely inappropriate. On a first date, people are just getting to know each other. There should be respect and boundaries. Touching someone's nipple is an extremely intimate and invasive act that can make the other person feel violated and uncomfortable.
