Make them laugh
If you really must draw attention to what went wrong on your first date, do it with humour and brevity.
For example, if you accidentally sprayed a mouthful of curry across the table into their face, ask them if they fancy a vindaloo sometime – and let that be the last you say about it.
Get it right next time
A second chance doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll get a third chance. So when you’ve fixed up another date, resolve not to make the same mistakes again.
Use your first-date mishaps as a lesson. If you talked too much, focus on being a better listener. Habits are hard to break, but practice makes perfect.
Do some non-date socialising
Is every weekend turning into a first-date disaster? Then take a break from dating. If you’re seeing new people every week, it’s no wonder you’ve worked yourself into a nervous, prat-falling stupor.
Go out with friends, release some pressure and turn those first-date mistakes into winning anecdotes.
