You’ve found yourself a good potential sugar date, picked the perfect location, and figured out the time. Maybe it hasn’t been easy, but now that the time has come, you don’t want to blow your chances. Like any good relationship, romantic, sugar, or other, the first date is a key point in a sugar relationship. But no matter how well you think it went, it is not easy to guess if the other person agrees. Do you know how to measure the success of a first sugar date? Fear not, we have your back! These points will help you to measure if it’s a match made in heaven, or back to the drawing board.

Measure the Success of a First Sugar Date

Communication is the key

The conversation is the most important thing on a first date. You might both be attracted to each other from the off, but if the spark isn’t there, it’s game over. Try to get to know your potential partner as much as you can. Ask authentic questions, keep eye contact, be interested in their answers, and be sure not to interrupt!

Feeling a Connection

Chemistry is not something that you can plan or force. It either happens or it doesn’t. But there’s a simple recipe to help that spark happen: just be yourself. You have to be sincere about who are you, what you like, etc, there’s no need to hide anything. So keep your confidence high and be ready to find the match you are looking for and deserve.

Be Polite!

The biggest thing that can ruin a perfect date is bad manners. Talking over people, being rude to waiting for staff, not holding the door and general rudeness can really ruin a night. Treat the other person (and the staff) like the most important people in the room and it’ll make a difference. Remember, first impressions count, and are incredibly difficult to undo. You might be perfect for each other, but spoil it by being poorly behaved.

Have the Same Expectations

Be transparent about the kind of relationship you are looking for. Like how often you want to meet, and hear from each other, the type of time spent together (will there be trips, etc.), GFE? Just casual datings, mentoring, etc. Be realistic but don’t be afraid to explain what you are after. This will only save you time and energy in case you are not looking for the same thing. The last thing you both want is to find out after the fourth date that you’re not compatible. Be realistic, of course, you want it to go well, but if you don’t match, don’t force it.

Relax and Have Fun

Regardless of what the end goal is on a date, remember you’re there to have a good time. There’s no use in being anxious and risking looking like a nervous wreck. Remember, the date is about two people looking for the same kind of relationship so don’t panic. Give the best impression of yourself and it will be worth it!
