Ah, the dreaded first date. It’s a hella nerve-wracking experience for everyone involved, and it’s all too easy to end up in an awkward situation. But don’t worry – awkward first dates are a normal part of the dating process, and there are plenty of ways to make the most of them.

First of all, it’s important to remember that awkwardness is a natural part of any first date. It’s normal to feel a bit uncomfortable and unsure of yourself, and it’s okay to make mistakes. The key is to stay positive and focus on your personal goals while dating!

One way to make an awkward first date more enjoyable is to plan ahead. Having some conversation topics that you can bring up is key if the conversation stalls. I love playing hella awkward and having tons of juicy questions ready to ask.  It takes the pressure off and ensures that we'll get to know each other (for better or worse lol).

Finally, don’t forget to be yourself. It’s easy to get caught up in trying to impress your date, but it’s important to be authentic and let your true personality shine through. This will make the date more enjoyable for both of you, and it will help you make a better connection and decision on having a date two.

At the end of the day, awkward first dates are a part of the dating process. But with a little preparation and a positive attitude, you can make the most of them and have a great time!
