- →Pick somewhere you can actually hear each other — loud bars work against you on a first date.
- →Aim for 2 stops, not 1. A drink first, then dinner. It gives you a natural exit if needed, and momentum if things are going well.
- →Book ahead if you can. Waiting for a table for 40 minutes is not the vibe.
- →Walk between venues when possible. The walk is part of the date.
