Tips to follow on your first date

If you've found someone online whom you like and it's time to take things offline, then don't worry we have some tips for you as first date conversation can be really tricky.

A social media study by Matchify, a mobile-only relationship app, witnessed about 7,800 responses and revealed the kind of situations that can get real tricky on a first date.

The objective of the Tricky First Dates study was to determine the kind of situations and questions that can stump someone on a date.

The questions ranged from "how to ask the partner to split the food bill" to "reacting when a girl brings along a friend to a dinner date," to "managing things if one proposed a relationship at the very first meeting."

When asked whether they would discourage talks about their former flames on the date, 90 per cent responded with a "yes" and when asked if they would cancel their favourite non-vegetarian dish for her, if she's a vegan, 89 per cent said yes.

Some of the key insights obtained:

1. Looks are not the first priority while dating someone

2. Majority of the people feel splitting the food bill on a first date is a good thing to do

3. Not talking about your ex when on a date is highly recommended.
