7 THINGS You’re Probably Forgetting Before a Date

Modern dating is one of Dante’s circles of hell, and this is a hill we will die on. But since it’s a thing that many people do, ourselves included, we thought we’d try to make the process a bit better by sharing some hard-won tips. Here, seven things you’re probably forgetting before a date.

3 good convo starters

Statistically speaking the conversation will, at some point, peter off into an awkward silence. Have a few things at the ready to help resuscitate it. 

An easy out

In case those convo starters don’t work. Or your date brings up NFTs. 

A razor

Raise your hand if you’re part of the “decided to forgo shaving before a date as a deterrent to sleeping with said date, but it didn’t stop you and now you’re in their bathroom using a questionable razor you found on the counter as quickly as possible so they don’t think you’re pooping” crew. (JK, but not really.)

Tell someone where you are

Because ending up on an episode of Dateline is not the endgame here. 

A phone that’s not at 10 percent battery 

Gentle reminder to go charge your phone! 

Focus on whether or not you actually like them

Not whether or not they like you. 

Your chill

See above tip. Also, this is especially applicable on a first date—as clichéd as it is, try not to put so much pressure on the date.
