After the first meeting with a potential lover, many people begin to think that now they will definitely have a relationship with this person.

However, in reality, a first meeting is not at all the same as a date.

Why? The fact is that people, seeing each other for the first time, at that moment enter only the phase of acquaintance.

In addition, during the first meeting in real life, you may well be disappointed in the person you see.

Take note

To avoid any unpleasant feelings after your first date, try not to place too much hope on it.

Set yourself up to perceive this event as something that may not continue or develop further.

Also, try not to “dump” all your resources, including emotional ones, on your interlocutor, otherwise you will quickly become exhausted, and dates will stop being enjoyable.

Also, we must remember that the more we give, the more we expect in return, which in itself is a failing strategy.
