When we are someone with whom we feel comfortable and can talk about various things, time flies like anything. We want time to stop when spending time with a person we feel a connection with.

A good date means there wasn't even one dull moment, and you both enjoyed it thoroughly. 

2. Free Flow of Conversation

Without proper communication, there is no relationship. There are various fun things to talk about on a first date and let the communication go smoothly. If you have had a great talk on the date and both of you conversed about various things, it indicates that your date went well. Another thing to note about this factor is that the communication should have been two-way. After a great date, you feel that both of you were genuinely interested in knowing more about each other and talked a lot about mutual interests.

11. Following Each Other on Social Media

It's highly common these days to follow your loved ones on social media. If your date doesn't go well, they won't want you in their social circle, which means you won't be added to their social media handles.

12. No Excuses About Future Meetings

One of the signs that it was a good first date is that neither of you had to make any excuse to postpone the date.

If that wasn't the case with you two, it means both of you had an awesome time together. 

13. Sparkling Chemistry

One of the important signs the first date went well is that there was an unspoken chemistry between you two.

14. You Talked About the Special People in Your Life

A happy couple knows each other inside out. If on your first date, you opened up about your friends, family, and social circle, it could mean you both were very comfortable with each other.
