Dr. Viviana shares 7 signs of compatibility for dating.
See if you have the potential to be a great match.
Sometimes first dates are just alright, you know? They’re not always terrible and they’re definitely not always movie-worthy, they’re often just OK and that’s completely normal.
But if the sparks don’t immediately fly and you’re unsure of whether a date two is in the cards, there are a few things you can look out for to help you out.
According to Dr. Viviana Coles — president and lead psychotherapist at Houston Relationship Therapy, president and lead instructor at the Texas Sex Therapy Institute, and expert on Lifetime’s “Married at First Sight” — these are the seven things you should take note of on your first date to determine whether you and the person you’re with have the potential to be a compatible match.
