So, guess what? They did this survey with around 2,000 folks who are into dating, and they found out some pretty interesting stuff about those initial meet-ups. You know what they figured? The sweet spot for a perfect first date is like a little less than three hours. Yep, that’s the magic number, apparently.
And get this, it takes about four of those dates – you know, those hangouts where you try to impress each other – to really start feeling comfy around someone. It’s like you gotta do that dating dance a few times before you can really let your guard down.
Now, here’s the deal on drinks. Around 46% of these peeps said that if you’re knocking back the drinks like it’s a party, it’s kind of a buzzkill for a first date. But hold up, here’s the twist – 57% of them said that sipping on their favorite drink actually helps them loosen up and feel all cozy.
Now, when it comes to clues that your first date went pretty darn well, here’s the scoop: If they shoot you a text or give you a ring right after saying goodbye, that’s a thumbs-up. Oh, and a goodnight smooch is another green light. If you’re hangin’ out and time just flies by ’cause you’re having a blast, that’s a sign things are rollin’ smoothly too. But, if they make a swift exit, that’s like a big red flag. Around 65% of those surveyed said that’s a telltale sign that the date was a dud.
