3.Try to be funny and think of inside jokes before the date.

Beautiful people get the attention while the funny ones get the heart. Humour is such an important quality in a partner, and people should focus on it more.

If you manage to laugh with someone on the first date, chances are you’ll have a lot of fun together.

No one wants to go on a date and sit awkwardly without having what to talk about. In order to avoid that, Pompey recommends thinking of a few inside jokes before the date.

In fact, you could send a text saying ‘Meet me at 8? I’ll be the one who’s 15 minutes early.’

Depending on the other person’s response, you shouldn’t know how much you’re allowed to joke around and be playful. If the other person responded back with a joke, you’ll know for sure your date will be successful.

If they’re not very thrilled about your joke, it might be wiser to recalculate things.

However, while being funny is an important quality, make sure you’re not joking all the time. You need to find a balance between fun talk and serious talk, Pompey says.

Otherwise, you’ll come across as a clown and the other person will feel like you’re not taking them seriously.
