Sometimes it can be difficult to understand how a first date went. It is important to know some patterns.
How to tell if a date went badly
The first date didn't go well if you or the other person was bored.
During the date, your potential partner was frankly bored if he looked sleepy, inattentive to what you said, looked away, closed postures during communication.
The date was also more likely to be a failure if there was a lot of distance between you.
There was always a distance between you and none of you tried to reduce it.
This is a sign that non-verbally one of you felt rejected.
The conversation didn’t go well at all, you were uninterested and had nothing to discuss, you didn’t feel the passion in your communication.
Talking about exes is also a clear red flag for a first date.
If you said goodbye abruptly, the other person probably wanted to end the date quickly.
What to do if the date is unsuccessful
Of course, unsuccessful dates are always emotionally unpleasant.
However, do not despair, this person is simply not suitable for you.
It is best to immediately notice shortcomings in communication rather than waste your precious time.
Therefore, it is important to notice nonverbal signals that something is wrong.
