"It takes a lot of brain power to plan a first date. It all starts with figuring out the vibe. Do you want dinner? Drinks? Dinner and drinks? And where do you want to go? Once that's settled, you and your match have to agree on the day, and it can be surprisingly tricky to land on one that feels right."
"Some say Friday is ideal because it feels celebratory. The energy of a busy bar on a Friday night can match the excitement of meeting IRL and make for a fun time. Others, like creator @dani.coco1, say Fridays should be reserved for friends - not someone you met an hour ago on Hinge. Creator @julia.elizabeth.h also said Fridays are a no-go, but because she likes to stay in and relax at the end of a long week, and it's such a mood."
"According to various viral TikToks, the best day for a first date is Thursday. In a post from @relationshitpod, creator @eli.rallo said she likes this night the most because if the date goes well, you have the rest of the weekend ahead of you to plan another one. If it's awful, you have the rest of the weekend to reset and recover."
First-date planning requires choosing the vibe—dinner, drinks, or both—and selecting a venue. Agreeing on a day can be surprisingly tricky because schedules, energy levels, expectations, and personal preferences all matter. Some people favor Friday for its celebratory energy, while others reserve Fridays for friends or prefer to relax at week’s end. Midweek nights like Wednesday or Thursday often feel more available, whereas early-week dates can feel like being wedged into a busy schedule. Thursday commonly emerges as the optimal choice because a successful date leads naturally into weekend plans and a poor one allows time to recover.
