Going on a date for the first time tomorrow- any tips? I’m pretty sure he’s neurotypical so I don’t want to be fake but I also don’t want to scare him off 😭 (I’m AuDHD, heavy on the au)

be honest about yourself, RECIPROCATE QUESTIONS! and ask follow up questions! a date should be a 50/50 balance, so try not to talk the whole time or let him talk the whole time

less fun advice: if you don’t know him well and/or does anything to make you feel uncomfortable at any point please make sure you share your location with someone! depending on the time of day you can also just say you have plans after this or have an early morning the next day as an excuse to leave early, or even text a friend to tell them to call you and pretend you have to leave

if the two of you are ending the date and he’s kinda lingering for a second, he probably wants to kiss you. smile at him if you want him to. if he asks to come over or for you to come over, there’s a reasonable chance he wants to have sex or do sexy things

and if you’re not vibing with him, you can end the date early if you feel safe, or start making things up that sound really unappealing. i’ve told people that i only shower every few days, bc i was not enjoying the date and wanted to leave and i knew that saying something gross would help them not fight against me making an excuse to leave
