From the first hello to the last goodbye, first dates can be quite an awkward affair unless you’ve got some serious game or are a smooth operator like Leonardo DiCaprio. Throughout the whole ‘ordeal’, one simply can’t stop thinking about the do’s and don’t’s of the evening. Do you hug? Do you wave goodbye? Do you kiss? Do you even hold hands? One wrong move and you risk striking out with the girl of your dreams.
Lucky for you, romantic music can help defuse the tension and set the mood, which is why these songs are a perfect fit for your next special occasion.
