Meeting someone for the first time after texting

Great, the person on the other side of the phone has agreed to see you after talking for a while via text message. You are feeling ecstatic but also very nervous, now you have to think about where you will meet, what you will wear and inevitably will think about how the date will go. Will it be a good date or a bad one?

Now it is important to wait until they confirm when they are available to meet and if you have already suggested a place then, all you have to do is wait. However, consider waiting for a couple of dates and if there is no confirmation yet just remind him/her about the meet up. This will also show interest in meeting them in person and that you haven’t forgotten about it. If they sound dubious or “I will let you know later”, then it is important to consider how maybe they are not ready or not really interested in meeting so avoid pushing any further.

It would be ideal if you can meet somewhere both parties can feel comfortable but sometimes it is not possible. Always discuss the place with him/her so you can both agree where to meet and if both feel comfortable with the choice.

Remember, the place you arrange for the first date can cause a positive or negative impact (outcome) on the date.
