1. Self-Presentation
- Appearance: Are you dressing appropriately for the date? While appearance isn’t everything, how you present yourself can leave a lasting impression.
- Body Language: Are you coming across as open and approachable? Poor posture, lack of eye contact, or closed-off body language can signal disinterest or discomfort.
2. Conversation Style
- Listening vs. Talking: Are you listening as much as you’re talking? If the conversation feels one-sided, it might make the other person feel unheard or unimportant.
- Topics: Are you choosing the right topics? Talking too much about negative experiences, exes, or overly controversial topics might be off-putting.
- Asking Questions: Are you showing genuine interest in the other person by asking questions about their life, interests, and opinions? This shows that you’re engaged and curious about them.
3. Behavior and Attitude
- Confidence vs. Arrogance: Are you coming across as confident or cocky? Confidence is attractive, but arrogance can be a major turn-off.
- Being Present: Are you distracted during the date? Checking your phone or seeming preoccupied can make the other person feel unimportant.
- Positivity: Are you maintaining a positive and upbeat attitude? If you’re overly negative or pessimistic, it can bring down the mood of the date.
In conclusion, your matchmaker can give you feedback on comments received by your dates. This is invaluable information that can allow you to have an idea of how you are perceived and help you to make ajustments to insure that those second dates keep coming!
