Participle clauses

Picture this, you're seated across from your crush, sipping coffee or sharing a meal on your first date.

You're nervous, but excited to see where this is going.

Adverbs of manner

But did you know that there's actually an important step you forgot to take that's going to determine whether or not this ends in heartbreak for you?

See, most people just dive headfirst into relationships once they find someone they like.

But having a clear vision of the kind of person you wanna be with and how you want that relationship to be is essential to intentional dating.

Of course, we differ in our individual preferences, like what features we find attractive or whether we value a sense of humor more than intelligence, et cetera.

But psychology has more or less already cracked the code on what qualities make a great partner.

So with that said, here are seven signs you found a keeper on the first date, according to experts.

Although this might seem like a no-brainer, you'd be surprised at how many people continue to date someone even though they don't feel a strong attraction towards them.

But if you don't have good chemistry with someone from the start, then it's like trying to light a fire with damp wood.

Sure, you might get a flicker here and there, but it's never going to ignite into the roaring blaze you're craving.

If you're wondering about signs of attraction, we have plenty of videos to help you, like four signs of mutual attraction and six signs of unspoken attraction.

Ever felt like someone you're into is just out of reach?

Whether it's distance, busy schedules, or emotional baggage, sometimes the timing just isn't right.

And no matter how strongly you might feel for them, it's better to be honest with yourself about whether or not the two of you are ready or even capable of investing your time, energy, and emotions into making a relationship work.

It's about being realistic and respecting both of your needs.

Trust that things will align when the time is right and keep your heart open to the possibilities that lie ahead.

Being stuck in a situationship with someone who won't lay their cards on the table can feel a lot like wandering through a foggy maze.

Unsure of where you stand with each other, you're constantly second-guessing yourself and unable to move forward confidently.

But a good partner communicates openly and is clear about their intentions from the start.

A good partner will be willing to talk about all of this openly, giving you a sense of direction so you're not left stumbling in the dark all alone.

Ever been on a date where it feels like you're talking to a wall?

Well, a good partner to be will likely be the opposite.

They'll show genuine interest in what you have to say, ask thoughtful questions, and remember things you told them.

They're attentive and engaged in your conversations, which is a good sign that they're invested in getting to know you and bodes well for the future of your relationship.

Respect is key in any relationship, and it starts from day one.

A good way to gauge this is by looking at how considerate someone is when making plans with you.

Not only will they take into account your time and availability, they'll show up when they say they'll show up.

And if they can't, they'll tell you right away.

They don't expect you to just follow along with everything they want to do.

They respect your boundaries, don't pressure you into doing anything you're uncomfortable with, and take your opinions and preferences into consideration.

A good partner is honest and open about themselves.

They're authentic, and they don't feel the need to put on a show or pretend to be someone they're not.

So be wary of any inconsistencies or red flags that may indicate your date isn't being genuine.

Do you get the feeling they're hiding something?

Do they avoid questions or quickly change the topic?

If something feels off or too good to be true, don't ignore it.

Finally, but perhaps most importantly, look for a partner who makes you feel good when you're with them.

They're fun and easy to talk to, and they make you feel good about yourself.

Being positively aligned with someone is important for a healthy and fulfilling relationship.

It means that you share a strong emotional connection and they bring out the best in you.

Now, that doesn't mean that they'll be a perfect match for you, especially not right from the start.

But if being with them leaves you smiling, laughing, and lighthearted, feeling like you're right where you're meant to be, well, that's the kind of magic you don't want to let slip away.

While it's important to be mindful of these signs, also allow yourself to enjoy the moment and have fun getting to know each other.

Trust yourself, trust the process, and above all, trust in the possibility of love finding its way to you.
