1. Open-minded. If you have decided that they will hate you, you are likely to feel embarrassed, antisocial and frustrated during the date. Whether you know it or not, your date will accept it. Similarly, if you have decided not to like someone, you will spend the entire date looking for their shortcomings and problems. Dating should be fun and casual, so keep your expectations clear and focused every time you date.
2. Keep your first date low key. Take them to places they like or feel comfortable. Mildly crowded restaurants, outdoor activities or small gatherings are usually the best places to go, because neither side will feel romantic or perfect embarrassing pressure. You will have enough time for romance. Now, concentrate on being yourself and having fun.
3. Knowing a date is a way to get to know someone, not a test that impresses them. On a certain date, both sides are trying to find out whether they can be compatible. It's hard enough to find out if you match someone well, but if you spend all your time trying to make someone like you, it's almost impossible. More importantly, in front of your date, acting gives you the wrong impression that when your behavior collapses in later relationships, it will hurt you again.
4. Focus on conversation on a trans hookup. A good face-to-face conversation is still the best way to get to know someone. Fortunately, conversation is something almost anyone can do well. You don't need a list of topics for a good conversation, just a willingness to follow the crowd and ask questions. You can freely share your own things, but when you doubt what to say, you should ask some questions about them. People like to talk about themselves and feel that someone is interested in them. Ask about work, family, etc., but whatever you do, be sincere. What do you want to know about them? What interests you?
5. If you feel connected, act till the end of the date. Although it seems difficult to determine, the signal is actually quite obvious. If your date tends to tilt, engage in physical contact (shoulder contact, arm contact, etc.), maintain long, intense eye contact, and smile in your direction, they are likely to like you. Start slowly, perhaps by praising or approaching their faces to see how they react. If they don't leave, maybe it's time to kiss.
6. If things go well, arrange another appointment. By the way, you want to see them again sometime. Although you don't have to plan on the spot because it may seem a little sticky, you'll keep in touch and want to drink something. If they smile and agree, you should arrange another appointment within the next 1-3 days.
