Dating can be exciting, nerve-wracking, and sometimes downright hilarious! Have you ever been on a first date that went terribly wrong? You’re not alone! In our latest LILY Tube video, relationship coaches Jeff & Cathy Teichert break down the biggest Dos and Don’ts of first dates—complete with hilariously bad first impressions from movies like Bye, Bye, Love, Beauty & the Beast, Pride & Prejudice, Shrek, and The Proposal. From arrogance to awkward silences and toxic feminism to texting at the table, we highlight the worst mistakes daters make and, more importantly, how to get it right.
So, what should you do? A great first date starts with being present, giving grace, and keeping the conversation balanced. While first impressions matter, you don’t have to be perfect—just authentic. Show up as your best self, dress appropriately, put your phone away, and be genuinely curious about your date. Instead of turning it into an interrogation or a therapy session about your ex, engage in real, flowing conversation. A successful first date isn’t about impressing the other person—it’s about building a connection.
If you’ve ever wondered why some dates crash and burn while others spark something special, this episode is for you! Don’t let your next date be a flop—watch now and learn how to avoid common dating pitfalls while creating meaningful moments. Because after all, anytime is a great time for more love in your life—especially on first dates! ❤️ Watch the full video here!
