9. Their Intelligence
Speaking of eloquence, some people want nothing more than a brainy smarty-pants that still reads the newspaper and does so in their spare time. They would enjoy stimulating and intellectual conversation and often frequent art galleries and cafes. Okay, maybe for some people that sounds like a nightmare, but you can’t deny that everyone wants to be with someone who has at least some intelligence. That’s human nature, since you don’t want to look dumb by the company you keep.
However, it’s best to remember that on a first date, nerves are running high. You’re not as witty, charming, or flirty as you wish you could be. Sometimes you may stammer or be lost for words. You may forget your train of thought or what your date just told you. You’re trying to remember to be awesome and figuring out if your date is awesome and trying to look totally natural at the same time. It’s a lot. Just don’t use the first date as the permanent yardstick of a person’s smarts.
