One of the major signs a first date went well is when the date lasts longer than either of you planned. No one is going to drag out a bad date, which means that if youre an hour in and your date is planning which bar the two of you should go to for a nightcap, theyre probably enjoying themselves.

How do you know if you had a good first date?

There is no time limit on how long a good first date should last. It is a positive sign if both you and your date do not want to go home and you are enjoying each others company. A prominent dating expert says that if a first date lasts more than two hours, it is going well; those are signs of a good first date.
