Article: First dates are important. You get to learn a lot about the person and then use that information to help you decide if you have found a match. Some questions you can ask on a first date to help you get to know the girl include: How was your day/week? What do you like to do for fun? What kind of music do you like? Where do you like to go on vacations? Do you like your job? What are you passionate about? Do you have roommates or do you live alone? On your first date, you can begin to get a better idea if this girl meets your criteria for a "sweet" girl. Is she nice? Intelligent? Funny? Optimistic? Think about the list of traits and interests you made to help you figure out if she is someone you want to spend more time with, such as on a second date. You might get a sense that this person is not someone you can or want to spend much time around. However, there are some red flags to watch out for as well. Try to keep a mental log of these along with any positive traits or interests the person has. Some red flags to watch for include: She is only talks about herself and does not seem interested in getting to know you. She constantly complains about her life, the restaurant, friends, family, or other things. She is rude or unreasonably demanding of the waiters or other employees in a restaurant or cafe. She keeps checking her phone and seems more interested in it than in engaging with you. She expresses strong political, religious, or other personal views that you disagree with. People who have these qualities tend to be better at maintaining positive relationships. For some, these qualities may also be part of what makes someone "sweet." Be on the lookout for these traits if you want a satisfying, long-term relationship. Some ways that you can assess the girls that you meet for this quality include: Noting how well she listens and responds to what you say. Does she stare off into space when you are talking or start texting friends on her phone? Poor listening skills can signal trouble for a long-term relationship. Paying attention to her patience. Does she get impatient if she has to wait for you? If so, then she may have a hard time delaying gratification, which can be trouble for a long-term relationship. If the first date goes well and you want to see her again, then arrange another date. You can do this by telling her at the end of the night or by calling a few days later. Try saying something like, "I had a great time on our first date and I'd like to see you again. Would you like that too?"
