It's common to schedule first dates in the evening for a relaxed vibe, but research suggests this might not be ideal. So, what's the optimal time to meet that special someone?
Francesca Gino, a Harvard University professor specializing in behavioral science, explains that end-of-day meetings increase the risk of fatigue or distraction after a tough day. Missing a potential soulmate due to poor timing would be regrettable. Instead, opt for a morning rendezvous at breakfast time, when you're rested, energized, and clear-headed.
By 8 a.m., you'll be refreshed and glowing. If sparks fly, you can always extend to evening. Not a morning person? Lunch works perfectly—you haven't built up daily fatigue, and if it's not clicking, it's easy to wrap up after an hour or two by citing work commitments.
