Congrats, you’ve arranged your first tinder date. Tinder has received quite the reputation since its release in 2012. Tinder is notoriously known for being the dating app that promotes one-night stands. For those of you on Tinder looking for an actual date that doesn’t just turn into a rendezvous, these Tinder date tips might help. You’ve already made it past the “awkward” conversation stages where you try to figure out what your common interests- that is if you haven’t received a disgustingly weird text asking for pics, or any other creepy pick up line for that matter. Admit it; you initially swiped right because they were good-looking. You’re just getting to the fun stages of using Tinder – you finally get to meet the person. Here are a few Tinder date tips to keep in mind prior to your first date.
Ambiance is crucial for a first Tinder date. Go to a spot with a cool vibe that way if you run out of things to talk about, you can talk about how cool the place is. Better than sitting there awkwardly. If you are in NYC, I highly suggest MACE bar – get the Pandan.
Don’t go on a Tinder date with someone miles away. That’s already a fuck no. If your date shows up and you already know it’s going to be a let-down, your commute back is going to suck. Keep it close. This is one of those Tinder date tips you should seriously consider.
If you show up to your Tinder date first, don’t have your back to the door. Your date is going to have to awkwardly shoulder tap you and look for you. Keep your body language open and keep an eye on the door if you are the first to arrive. You could always wait outside as well depending on the weather you’ve been graced with on the night of your Tinder date.
Don’t go to the movies on your first Tinder date. If you ever start a first date with a movie you need to up your dating game for starters. Movie dates are for middle schoolers – legit, don’t do it for a Tinder date. There’s no way you’ll be able to talk to each other – you might as well be the ultimate Tinder weirdo and Netflix and chill.
If you are going on a Tinder date, you need to be confident. Don’t freak out if they are going to like you or not – they agreed to the meetup so you are fine as is. They are probably just as nervous as you are. Follow these Tinder date tips and you should be fine.
This is one of those obvious Tinder date tips. Chill on your booze intake your first Tinder date. Most horror stories of Tinder dates I have heard consist of one person on the date getting to fucked up or showing up absolutely wasted. That very well could be the worst way to start a date.
Don’t talk about other matches or how many other Tinder dates you have lined up. That could make things very awkward. These are one of those Tinder date tips that should be a given.
