First dates are all about first impressions, as well as first judgments. Sure, you may not learn everything about a guy after only spending an hour or two with him, but you can pretty much tell which category he fits into by the end of the first date.
- The friend. You formed a connection, but not in the way you both were hoping for. You were hoping to be swept off your feet, but instead you found someone you’d love to hang out with more but have no desire whatsoever to sleep with. Sure, it’s not love at first sight, but you may have just found a friendship to last a lifetime.
- The potential boyfriend. It may have only been the first date, but this guy has some serious relationship potential. It’s too early to think about forever, but this might just be the beginning of something big. You can’t deny the chemistry or the fact that he might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
- The hook-up. You may not have clicked on an emotional level, but physically speaking, this guy checks off every box. Your intimacy may never get emotional, but you’d be totally into it delving into sexual territory. He’s not really relationship material, but he’s definitely worthy of being a regular booty call.
- The sugar daddy. The greatest thing about this guy is the size of his wallet. This guy loved to flash his wad of cash and pull out every black card, insisting on covering costs no matter how many times you offered. There’s not a club he couldn’t get you in or a diamond he couldn’t put on your finger. You don’t know if there’s really something there or if you’re blinded by all the bling, but taking the time to find out doesn’t seem like too much of a hassle.
- The moocher. This is the guy that doesn’t pay for you or even for himself. He treats you as his meal ticket, and it’s pretty damn clear that he’s spent a hell of a lot more time smoking pot than he has actually working a job. He has no degree and no work ethic, and you’re not going to be yet another enabler to his lazy addiction.
- The womanizer. Nail and bail is pretty much his motto. He’ll never see you as his equal because his misogynistic tendencies run too deep. His superiority is a true blast from the past, because this guy has no belief in feminism. To him, you’re just another body put on this earth to fulfill his every desire, so it’s up to you to put this pig in his place.
- The one-night stand. He’s good enough for just one night, but not for a relationship or even an ongoing hook-up situation. You had an itch that only he could scratch for one night, and one night only. There’s no shame in your walk the next morning, because the past is the past and this one hit wonder is history.
- The backup plan. Maybe he doesn’t seem like Mr. Right from the get-go, but he still has potential to be a great husband or at the very least a great friend. You had a good time, and he definitely makes you feel good about yourself, but you didn’t really get that spark. You end the night dreaming of something and someone better, but you’re still willing to see where this goes.
- The narcissist. This guy may have been into you, but he’s way more into himself. He spent most of the night bragging rather than asking you questions about your life. It didn’t really seem like he wanted to get to know you, rather he wanted to share just how awesome he is with one more person on this earth. In the end, you wonder why he even went on a date with another woman when he’s clearly already more than satisfied with himself.
