It isn't always easy to gauge how another person feels about you on a first date.<\/p>\n

When you have finally met a woman you really like and you hit it off on a first date, it is natural to want to get an insight into what she is really thinking.<\/p>\n

Although we don't have a crystal ball, we have listed below some of the most common things that women tend to think about when going on a date for the first time.<\/p>\n

Who will pay the bill?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many women will start to worry about the bill before they get to the restaurant. She may be afraid that you will judge her if she doesn't offer to pay, or does not reach for her purse quick enough.<\/p>\n

Therefore, in order to avoid any awkwardness, why not offer to pay for the first date, or tell her you will pay for the first drink at the beginning of the meal?<\/p>\n

You can always go dutch thereafter.<\/p>\n

At least that way, it get the whole money issue out of the way and you can concentrate on getting to know each other better?<\/p>\n

Does he like me?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many people are understandably nervous on a first date and will wonder about how they will be perceived.<\/p>\n

Therefore, to avoid her thinking that the date has been a total failure, if you do happen to like her a lot, be sure to let her know!<\/p>\n

How do I look?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No matter how gorgeous she looks, she will inevitably wonder if she looks good enough. For guys, this is a tricky area. You don't want to come across as glib or superficial by overdoing it with the compliments but at the same time, you don't want her to be uber conscious.<\/p>\n

Still, there's no harm in paying her a quick compliment about how great she looks, as long as you don't do so in a tacky way.<\/p>\n

What about sex?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Should I? Shouldn't I? Is it wrong to sleep with someone on the first date? Will he judge me if I do? Best to stay clear of this subject entirely, unless of course, she brings it up….<\/p>\n

Do we have to kiss?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is really 50\/50 with this one. She may very well be thinking: "Will he try to kiss me and how do I get out of it"? Or "When will he kiss me?"<\/p>\n

As a rule of thumb, it is never a good idea to lean in and make the first move on a date until you have confirmed your mutual liking for each other with subsequent dates.<\/p>\n

Get off the damn phone!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Generally, the way a woman reacts to certain things may vary. But one thing that is guaranteed to irritate her is if you spend your entire time texting someone else on the date.\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801796982-ADNFCR\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
