Why Nice Isn’t Enough On Dates
Pleasant rarely equals memorable. ✨
This is why “nice enough” first dates often don’t lead to seconds.
People don’t want “nice enough”; they long for a spark that gives them an emotional cue of “wow this could go somewhere?”
Are most people’s expectations of a first date too high — YES!
But the irony is, that magic spark often comes from authenticity.
When you play it too safe 🙃
when you try to be “nice,”
when you really want someone to like you…
👉 The date feels flat.
It tells the other person, “I’m willing to edit who I am for you, because I need this to work.”
You want the outcome. You’re not truly experiencing the other person.
When you can be more real 💬
when you’re okay to express yourself,
when you don’t need someone to like you…
⚡ The date feels exciting.
Excitement = Spark = “I’m curious to see where this goes…”
