Let's go on 50 first dates

Finally, those weeks of awkward Hinge ping-pong have led up to the main event: The first date. Palpitations. Suddenly, everything matters. The venue can't be a cliché, obviously. It’s got to be an escape room, a palm-reading session, a wrestling match.

Are jeans too casual? Is a dress too try-hard? The icebreakers are locked and loaded: Netflix faves, bucket-list countries, Lolla dream lineup, to Comic Con or not to Comic Con.

Then, the real questions: Who should pay? Should you kiss? When should you text? And, of course, were you your best, most ‘glitch-free self? First dates are now high-pressure situations. Blame it on the movies. “They make love at first sight seem like a moment you can trust. But in real life, that moment is rarely the full picture,” says psychologist Aekta Brahmbhatt.
