Most people hate the suspense of not knowing whether their date was a success or a flop. However, it is possible to find out.<\/p>\n

Below, we have listed some of the top ways you can tell if it was love at first sight.<\/p>\n

The conversation flowed well<\/strong><\/p>\n

It's natural when you first meet someone that there might be a few awkward silences. If you both seem nervous at the start, that's only natural, but a sign of a good date will be how well things progressed from there. Once you find some common ground in terms of interests and talking points, it should become much easier for you and your date to have a flowing conversation. <\/p>\n

A good way to judge how it's all gone is to ask yourself how the conversation was formed. Was it a natural conversation of the sort you might have with a friend, or was it more like an interview? If you've just sat there and had a back and forward question and answer session, it can feel quite awkward and a little forced, and it may be a good indicator of the fact things have perhaps not gone as well as you might have liked. <\/p>\n

You met for a second date<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you first meet someone for a date that you met online, it's recommended that you arrange something relatively short initially. This allows both parties the chance to get to know each other a little more. It's hard to form a true opinion of someone online after all, and sometimes you might just not have a spark when you meet face to face, so it's best to organise a quiet coffee for an hour or so for your first date, just to test the water. <\/p>\n

However, if you're on that initial meeting, and the date continues on from there, of course it's a great sign that things have gone well. Perhaps you went on from your coffee to take a walk somewhere or even have dinner together? Well, if this happened, the chances are that the two of you simply didn't want to end that first date so soon, and all signs point to potential success if this is the case. <\/p>\n

You are keen to meet again<\/strong><\/p>\n

The best advice after any date is to sleep on it. In the hours immediately after you've got home, it's easy to get caught up in the excitement of the date and want to see the person again really soon. However, is this the way you really feel? It's always best to wait a while and see how the emotion changes. <\/p>\n

If you wake the next morning and you really can't wait to see them again, then it's a wonderful sign. The fact that you've spent time with someone and you want to do it all over again so soon afterwards suggests that you had a great first date and indicates that there may well be something there. It's worth giving them another try and satisfying your eagerness to see the person again for another date if so. \"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801789354-ADNFCR\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
