The Top 10 Tips on How To Have a Great Video Date

Tip # 1: Get Dressed and Look Your Best

Yes, the best thing about video calls is the convenience that comes with them. You could be dressed in shorts in a zoom meeting with a blazer on top and still ace your job interviews. But if you are using video calls for dating, it's best to get up and dressed properly. 

Actually don't think of your date as a zoom meeting, put on your best outfit and really make an effort. Act like you have an in-person date. There is no alternative to looking your best on a date.

Tip # 2: Fix Your Background 

Think about how you choose the perfect setting for Instagram reels, or even for Instagram stories. Having a nice and warm background is going to set the stage for your video date. You want to give your date a nice impression of your home, so make sure you put away any dirty laundry. 

Go for the nicest corner of your room. You can also opt for a nice, artsy background or a wall that showcases your pictures or hobbies. It will give your date a nice flavor of what your hobbies are. 

And if you don't have a nice corner that's all about you, you can also choose a virtual background. Background downloads are actually an excellent way to choose a virtual background that vibes with you.

Tip # 3: Pick the Best Angle  

If you look closely at the Instagram stories of some of the top influencers, you'll see that they always pick the best angle. You should take some time to adjust your cell phone or laptop, whatever you're using, to select an angle that best flatters you. 

Some applications may even allow you to adjust aspect ratios. Choosing a square aspect ratio, for example, can make you look more balanced. But you'll need to check if the application you are using for your video call allows you to select your own aspect ratios.  

Tip # 4: Adjust Your Lighting 

 Getting the most out of your lighting is just as important as having a flattering angle. You want to make sure you're not tucked away in a dark setting. This can make it difficult for your date to see you clearly. 

Sitting in front of a window, during the day, can help you capture natural sunlight for a clear and bright view. Balanced lighting with a pleasant backdrop can set the perfect mood for a nice, romantic video date.

 It's important to make sure you are ready before our online date starts. Get your technology in order, share email addresses if you have to, and choose a space with no background noise. 

Probably the best thing you can do to make sure you are prepared is to do a quick sound and internet quality check, to ensure that all your gadgets are in order and ready to get cracking! You should also check your video resolution beforehand, to make sure you look picture perfect. Who knows, your date could be adding screenshots of the call to her Instagram stories!

Tip # 6: Don't forget to have fun!

Logging on to online dating can be a daunting task. But that doesn't mean you get all nervous about it! You can save the clammy hands and anxiety for future interviews. Because online dates are nothing but fun if you do them right. 

Don't act like the online date is similar to an interview process; get creative and perhaps add a cocktail or a drink to the video call. Make your date feel comfortable and at ease. You can even play a fun game, or check out the social media profile of a celebrity you both look up to. Like we said, get creative and let your hair down.

Tip # 7: Think of Ways to Break The Ice

Here’s one of the most important tasks that you need to do - think and brainstorm possible ways to break the ice especially if it’s your first online date with the person on the other side. 

First dates can be awkward as is, and having to connect on video for the first time can really set the wheels of awkwardness into motion. The best idea? Think of a fun and nice conversation starter that will put you both at ease. 

Tip # 8: Have Your Exit Strategy Planned

There is going to come a time when the conversation will fizzle out. It’s okay, that’s completely normal. 

But what’s not normal is you ending the call abruptly. So better have your exit strategy planned!

Tip # 9: Plan your Next Move

The first call will let you know if this relationship is headed somewhere…this is time to start planning what your next move will be. 

If you liked what you saw and heard, better plan your next steps. 

Tip # 10: Drop a Thank You Message 

Don’t just drop dead on your bed right after the call. Be polite and make sure to drop your date a nice, thank you message thanking him/her for his/her time.
