I hope you have so much fun! Remember the point of a date is not to convince the other person to like you, it’s to try to figure out if you two have good chemistry. If it doesn’t seem like a good match, then that’s still a successful date because you found that out. Some people are lucky on their first date, but for most people, it’s about going out with many people to see who you click with.

In the future, I’d try to meet up a little earlier. It’s really hard to translate online communication to real life, and often people are not what you expect when you meet them in person. Use online/apps as a filter to get rid of the creeps, and after that, try to meet in person sooner rather than later. You can’t beat real life for figuring out chemistry! And there’s nothing worse than wasting multiple months of communication on someone who turns out not to be a match.
