First impressions are everything. And whether we meet him on Tinder or at a work conference, we all have big expectations on a first date. After all, you could be meeting the man of your dreams, or at least your next main cuffing season squeeze.
So when it comes to first date high hopes, these are the signs we’re all looking for to let us know that he has potential. They’re what we’re all hoping happens between appetizers and dessert — and it’s hard to imagine scheduling a second date without them.
Do you have first date moves that you always look out for? Let us know what they are in the comment section and what you do when they just aren’t there. Would you give a man missing these qualities a second chance with another date? Or do you have a zero-tolerance policy when he doesn’t display your list of first-date musts?

PAYING FOR THE MEAL
This is especially important if he was the one who proposed the both of you going on a date. Going Dutch may be the PC thing to do, but does anyone else get the feeling that it means he’s not that into you?

WHEN HE WANTS TO MAKE SURE YOU GOT HOME SAFELY
And he wants you to call him when you get there

WHEN HE PLANS THE DATE
And it’s not only romantic but could equal out to a unique and fun date idea that he chose because he thought you would like it.

SAYING “GOODNIGHT” WHEN THE DATE IS OVER
Instead of trying to find an excuse to get into your apartment. It’s a great sign that he’s looking for something deeper than Netflix and Chill.

A KIND GESTURE
When he shows up with flowers, candy, or something you mentioned on your Tinder profile? All signs that he’s not only generous but pays attention.

WHEN HE’S A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS
He doesn’t have to have trouble holding on to his wine glass, but if he seems a little nervous, it’s a good sign that he wants to make a good impression (and is really hoping the date will go well)

WHEN HE’S EARLY
Showing up early to a date is always a good sign that he’s excited about you.

WHEN TIME FLIES BY
And you never run out of things to talk about (and have a feeling that you never will).

WHEN HE FOLLOWS UP ON SOMETHING THAT YOU MENTIONED
Like checking out that TV show or book you were excited about, even if The People’s Couch isn’t really his thing.

HE ASKS YOU ON A SECOND DATE
Even though you’re not even all the way done with the first.

HE GIVES YOU A COMPLIMENT
And not just the standard “You look good,” but something specific about your personal style or taste.

WHEN HE CHOOSES A FIVE-STAR RESTAURANT
Because he’s really trying to impress you.

WHEN HE CALLS RIGHT AWAY
And throws the “Wait three days” rule right out of the window.

WHEN YOU HAVE A MOMENT
And the conversation pauses to make room for the sparks!
