10 GIFs That Show First Date Moods

First dates can be tricky. Whether it’s with a stranger you’ve been set up with, a blind date or someone you’ve known for years, it’s hard to know what to expect. This can lead to a wide variety of first date moods. From sheer joy to pure disgust, here’s a few gifs that show some first date moods that we think you can relate to.

1. A nice surprise

We’ve all been there. You’ve been set up by one of your friends, and in walks the person you just know is your date for the evening. The first thing you think of is “SOS”, “ABORT MISSION”! But they sit down, you start to get to know each other and realise that you don’t have to kill your friend when you get home. This is a great person!

2. Boredom is a huge first date mood

Boredom is definitely a first date mood that we’ve all had. The date was a disaster from the beginning. As soon as your date sat down you knew they weren’t the one for you. Honestly, the level of boredom is making you go a little crazy.

3. You can’t believe who you’re sat across the table from

That ever common first date mood of pure disgust. There’s just something about them that annoys you. Probably something to do with the way they’re talking to you as if you two going home together is a sure thing, when you’ve known each other for 20 minutes and they’ve got pasta all over their face.

4. The instant connection

Time stops, sparks are flying. That feeling of the instant connection is a major first date mood. This is it, you’ve found your soulmate! someone save the date!

5. Seeing a friend as more than a friend

You’ve taken a risk. You and your friend have decided that you’re going to try being more than friends. There’s hundreds of first date moods flying left and right, sneaky glances, checking them out. You definitely like them, but do you like them like that?

6. Realising they’re as crazy as you

You decide to go for a fun first date, maybe bowling, laser tag or to a fun fair. You get into it, you’re getting competitive, but you start to think to yourself, are they really enjoying this, or do they jut think I’m a joke? A child? Completely insane? Then you see it, the spark in their eye and you know they’re loving it.

7. The Fear

It’s a first date. Of course the fear is going to be a big first date mood. You’re taking the plunge, opening yourself up to someone. You’re either going to have a great evening, or one you’ll probably want to regret as quickly as possible.

8. This is the one for you

As first dates go, this one is pretty great. They look good, they can talk the talk and walk the walk and they even smell great. You’ve really hit the jackpot where this one is concerned!

9. They’re just not the one for you

As first date moods go, this is one of the worst. It’s not that you don’t like them or even that you’re bored. They seem like a great person for someone, they’re just not the one for you. Quite honestly you have nothing in common ad you have no interest in whatever they’re talking about. You’ve had enough. You’re done and you want to go home!

10. Being excited to see what the dating pool has to offer

No matter how nervous you are on a first date, there’s always the excitement that washes over the fear. This person could be your soulmate! But hey, if not, you got to dress up like a queen for the night!
