Nowadays there are many ways to meet new people, but the easiest and fastest way is to do it online. You can chat and get to know each other virtually but… how can you make sure your first date goes well? Don’t miss our tips for your first date!
Peopall is the app that allows you to create plans for anyone near you to join. In other words, on Peopall you can find real people who want to do the same as you.
In today’s article we are going to give you some tips and tricks to help you make your first date or plan with Peopall a success. We will also see examples of dates according to your interests.
Defining expectations
When you are too eager and excited for something to go as expected it’s when you are most likely to be disappointed. And that’s because of expectations.
Let’s take the example of going on a romantic first date. After you’ve chatted with the other person, there seems to be quite a connection. You’ve broken the ice and seem to be looking for the same thing. But, let’s be clear, you don’t know each other yet!
You go on the date already convinced that there is going to be a match. And, when you get to the meeting, it turns out that there is not as good a feeling as it seemed and he/she is not as attractive as he/she looked in the photos. So what now? Is it the other person’s fault?
To be honest, it’s your fault for having created unrealistic expectations. It’s more than okay to be excited for the date. In fact, it’s a good sign. But raising your expectations so high that you already imagine yourself getting married (or going straight to bed) is never a good idea. The best thing to do is to go without any expectations at all.
Besides, what exactly is feeling? And what makes you think it’s important to feel that connection with someone you don’t know at all? Many times this thing we call “a feeling”, just like love, is built and grows over time.
Security tips
On Peopall you can set up dates for 2 or plans for more people. And, even if you’re meeting a group of 15 people in broad daylight, it’s just as important to keep in mind a few tips to keep yourself safe.
Don’t share personal information. Within the app you have a chat room, there’s no need to take the conversation anywhere else! Wait until you have met the person to decide if you want to give them your phone or your social networks. And not to mention bank details… If someone asks you for a loan, remind them that that’s what banks are for. Don’t fall into the trap!
Inform a loved one of your plans. Remember that you are going to meet someone you don’t know. It literally takes a second to tell a friend or family member! Share a live location with them or send them a simple “hey, I’m going to be in the area this afternoon, I’ll message you later”.
If it’s not clear, don’t force it. If you don’t feel comfortable, leave the date. If you don’t feel confident, tell someone around you and leave the appointment. Your intuition and feelings matter and you should listen to them.
What you want is what matters. Go as far as you want to go, knowing that in every situation we are free to change our minds. Don’t feel obligated to anything! Only you set the limits.
Remember that on the Peopall site you have a Frequently Asked Questions section, where we give many more safety tips that will be useful for your first plans.
First date or plan ideas
Peopall is perfect for proposing any kind of plan, whether with friends or to find your better half. Well, we’re not going to fool you, it’s also useful if you want to have a good time in a casual way. It can adapt to everything!
That’s why on Peopall you can choose whether you have a spicy, healthy or party profile, so that other users can see what interests you have. We will give you date ideas and plans for each of them.
Some of our proposals are designed for second and third dates. It would be a bit weird to ask you to worry about your safety, and then recommend you to go to the middle of nowhere on a mountain on a first date with someone you don’t know. Use common sense!
SPICY DATE IDEAS
If you’re looking for a quiet or passionate encounter to get to know someone special, here are several first date ideas. Going to the movies or to the museum sounds great but if the idea is to talk or connect, it will be tricky.
- Walk around the city or the beach with a glass of wine and dinner.
- Sunset at a spectacular rooftop
- Visit a flea market or a quiet outdoor event
- Have a tupper sex session
ADVENTUROUS (HEALTHY) DATE IDEAS
If you are looking for a great time outdoors to meet new people in a group or hand in hand, we recommend:
- Excursion or visit to an amusement park
- Climbing in a climbing wall
- Go bowling, beach volleyball, surfing, etc.
- Going out to train outdoors
PARTY DATE IDEAS
If you want to have a great time in a group, go out partying, go to concerts and festivals, these are the plans we propose:
- Concert, festivals, parties, etc.
- Wine, liquor, beer or any drink tasting
- Go to a bingo and drink every time X numbers are called
Conclusions
On Peopall you will be able to find people close to you but it is important that you are very clear about what you are looking for and what you are not willing to accept. That’s why other users can also see if you have a spicy, healthy or party profile.
It is crucial that you always keep in mind your safety above all else. Even if you have chatted for weeks or months with a person… They are still a total stranger to you! It’s best to be on your guard until you meet in person.
Depending on what you are looking for, we recommend that you join plans that match your interests. It’s the best way to avoid disappointment.
