Here are some signs that a date is going well during the date:
  • There's a comfortable, relaxed vibe.
  • Conversation flows naturally.
  • Your date is displaying interest with their body language (such as holding eye contact, leaning in toward you, and smiling).
  • They touch you lightly (for instance, on the arm or shoulder).
  • You feel an emotional connection with them.
  • They allude to future dates with you.

If you feel like the conversation flows well and that you have much in common (in terms of principles and values), and you're laughing together, that's always a great sign.
