How to go on a First Friend-Date with Bumble BFF

We’ve heard it all. “Making friends as an adult is hard.” Especially during the pandemic. But get this… Have you tried Bumble BFF? Luckily, I’ve only had good experiences and all have been willing to help me with my blog for my Illinois series. When you’re living with a roomie (significant other, parents, friends), you want to do more than just coexist.

First date

We all get nervous in our first day or the day we give off our first impression… well, at least I do! I like to dress according to what we’re doing and be on my best behavior, aka an extrovert and an introvert depending on the vibe.

I love meeting new people but this date situation felt a little weird at first. What am I supposed to say? How do I react? How do I know if I made a good first impression? Are we going to hang out after this? My mind probably runs through a whole bunch of questions before the date that I always overthink.

Day of, you’re probably either nervous, excited, or both. I’m always both because you don’t know what to expect. Are they a catfish? Are they going to like me? Will we hang out after this if we do hit it off?

A few dates later

I’ve met a few girls since end of 2020, and we’ve hit it off! Here are some date ideas you can do:

Making tie blankets
Axe Throwing
Going to wine bars
Happy hours
Wine Night Thursdays
Ice cream date

Some RANDOM tips I’ve learned:

Tea is your best friend- every night!
Game changer: If you’re lazy when washing the blender, add soap and water, blend and rinse out.
A she-shed is actually a babe cave.
Never give up on planning to hang out with the girls. There will always be someone ready to adventure with you!

I feel that with all the girls I’ve met, I’ve made some long lasting friendships. It’s so nice to be able to brainstorm on some blog posts with them while I’m at it and that they support my crazy adventures!

Honestly, Bumble really does work, in all aspects. It offers BFF, dating and networking. So you can get the best of all worlds!
