And even if he is neither of those things, the at-home “first date” is still a red flag simply because it’s lazy.
If you are searching for a partner to start a relationship with, then you are likely looking for someone who puts effort into forging new connections and takes initiative.
However, if a guy asks you to head over to his place and simply chill, he is doing neither of those things.
I’m not saying a guy has to get dressed to the nines or take you out on an expensive first date just to make a good impression. But even asking you to go on a simple walk around a local park with a stop at a nearby ice cream parlor shows considerably more effort and initiative.
Finally, if you accept that your “first date” with a guy is just sitting next to him on his couch and chatting about who knows what, the bar is being set incredibly low. And if you really want a partner who plans and puts in some effort, this is not the best way to set the tone for a budding relationship.
