We all know that a first date can be a stressful and anxiety inducing occasion. This should come as no surprise either. If you find someone attractive then you are bound to feel some level of anxiety, in fact, if you don’t then you should probably be questioning whether or not you should be seeing this person.So anyway, when people go out on dates there are usually some goals we each have in mind, particularly when it comes to the first date. So what are they?Well, studies have shown that there are generally five types of goals people have when they meet a prospective partner for the first date:

1. To have fun and a good time.
2. Find out more about the other person.
3. To see if there is the potential to date more often in the future.
4. To see if there is any potential to escalate things physically in the future.
5. To establish and develop a friendship.

These are the five types of goals that have been identified through studies that people have in mind when going on a first date.So how does knowing this benefit you? Well, the reality is that the more you know about dating, the more you learn about attraction, psychology, all these kinds of things are going to help you understand the opposite sex better.It should be obvious that this kind of knowledge will help you improve your dating life. After all, that is the goal - to have a rich and rewarding dating life where you can meet someone who you can be in a fulfilling relationship with.This will also help you with your social interactions when out on dates because you will be more aware of what your date is expecting from the date. It is interesting to consider what each person’s goals may be but the main thing to keep in mind is compatibility.If you are compatible with someone then you will more than likely also have that important sexual chemistry to develop things further. With that mind, have fun on your next first date.
