Of course both have to be really intersted in each other, but other than that, what does a first date be great? I think the listening is the most important, without that the couple probably is not having chemistry. A battle of who speaks the mosts is also not valid and the opposit of listening. How about you, any unforgetable date?

Hi, katie0. I think respect, honesty and communication are very important when it comes to a first date. Patience is also needed too. Listening to each other without bragging about oneself is something that needs to be done. I once went out with this guy in high school and I had to go on a date with him and his friends. I don't think that he wanted to pay for my meal at all. I felt very uncomfortable and out of place. I never wanted to go back on a date with him when it was him and his friends.

hello...i think you have a good point there. but for me, since it's the first date, it's really important for me to feel comfortable. that's the only way to assure that there'll be a second date. hehe.

hi katie, The basic importance to have a great date is to have a selection option in choosing possible partner in life. This entails an open communication relationship where in both are given that chances to express their thoughts in every discussion and both do exercise listening skills in making the other person know him well and understand his own personal views about any matter. A date that gives both the opportunity to be naturally themselves without pretending or any self-hidden agenda. An open door for both person to let themselves be known more without hesitations. Basically, a date that is comfortable for both considering the ambiance, the location and other people around them. From all the dates a person had experienced, there will always be a distinct and memorable date among all of them. This experiences will help a person categorize the person they are dating with, and do leave a remarkable memory in that moment of their life. I believe that, when both person had treasured that moment in their date be considered as great date, either not that extravagant or simple for others as it may seem ,as long both are happy and had been satisfied with it, it will always been considered as the first great date in their lives. So, the first great date rely on the persons in it and how they wanted to be a memorable one that will give a good experience in their life. Happy mylotting

i think that for a great date must exist a big connetion and big feelings. then i think the date will go well. sweet places to go on a date i think a special place the guy or the girl knows and loves to be at when need to relax and share that place with that person. i think if we share a place that we dont show to everyone shows what that person means ^^
