    my first date was actually the movies haha, we’re both pretty introverted and thought it was a good idea to get a feel for each other. plus it gave us something to talk about afterwards, overall it was a success!

      I'm so happy to hear that the movies worked for you! I'm definitely seeing why an introvert may feel more comfortable with this sort of activity. 🥰

      same!! I was worried that it wouldn't be a good idea to go to the movies for the first date but it turned out good, we discussed the movie afterwards and even had some inside jokes about it already haha
      it was the best date I've ever been on tbh but maybe it's bc I liked this person
      (btw we never had a second date and stopped talking after that one date but anywaysss)

    Also, coffee dates are a classic date plan, and they're awesome if they're early. If the date is good, you can do more after. If the date is bad, your day isn't ruined and you can go home/hang with other friends.

    Tip: Vary your sentences so that you don't come up as robotic. For example, if you're sharing your opinion, instead of saying "I like...." maybe change it up to "I enjoy" or "I am interested in"

    I always split the bill on first dates; I earn my own money and think it is kind of weird women wanting to be equal to men in society and at the same time expecting them to pay 😅 Later normally the guy and me kind of alternate with paying. But that's just my opinion. My now husband and me on our first date also split the bill. We really liked each other right away so that was no sign for no interest clearly...

I had a really great time. We even kissed. I followed your advice and I wrote to him when I got home and told him how I felt about the day.

This is the first time I'm meeting this guy am were going to a game library. I think this could be really fun and cool, or awkward .

    I'm a guy and I've never been on a date before. I'm going to college next year with my service dog so I want to be prepared for dates. A lot of people don't like service dogs or people with mental/physical issues so that will help get rid of the majority of people, which is nice. I require my service dog so I can stay alive, if people aren't okay with that, I can automatically mark them out. If a date is going badly, I can also use my service dog as an excuse to leave early. My service dog is a standard poodle, so maybe I can say that he has a grooming appointment that was changed last minute. I'm a femboy so a lot of people are attracted to my looks sadly, I don't want people to like me because of my looks, I want them to like me because of my personality. Looks don't matter at all, personalities do. I hope I can find some good people when I go to college. I am very scared of being used.

    Hey Heather! Today I was like ‘what day is it?’ ‘Oh it’s Saturday’. Then I checked your channel cause I thought I missed your video yesterday, bc you post on Fridays a lot. Then I found you didn’t and I was like ‘Ok, I didn’t miss it’. Is that weird? Well, it’s me…so I wouldn’t be surprised if it came off as weird 😅
    Ok, nice video. I know it was more focused on tips for women, but I definitely think you covered a lot of stuff. Being a guy I can say you were pretty much bang on about the guy stuff you mentioned. Guys like to feel they are ‘doing well on a date’. They love when girls laugh at their jokes (even when they suck), and they appreciate compliments too.
    I think the best first dates are the cheap ones lol. Maybe I’m different, but I prefer cheap dates…grab a quick bite to eat and find a park or something and chill there for an afternoon. Talk and get to know each other. Walks are the best. It’s a natural way to relieve stress, and works very well on first dates when both people are nervous. Plus there is always something to look at when you’re walking outdoors so I find the conversation flows more when doing this activity. I could write a long opinion column touching on your points but I won’t bore you with my opinions lol.
    You know, I can feel that you love helping people. It really comes out when I watch you explaining dating and making sure that both people on a date are respected and valued. I asked myself how can you be so much like this…then you said you were a Pisces…and I’m like ‘ahh, that explains it’ lol. Pisces are warm caring people….I’m a Pisces too 😅! Ttyl!

      Being introverted can be so hard… I think you really have to want something to push yourself towards it. I always remind myself that there’s always no harm in trying and the worst thing that could happen is they may say no. Rejection is a normal part of life and I think we should acknowledge it rather than run from it!
