Is your date scheduled for a Tuesday or a Thursday? It makes a difference, you know! Read on to see what the night of the week says about your date...

The Monday Night Date:

Monday night is the antithesis of "date night": People are usually back at work and back to their weeknight routines, maybe getting caught up on the errands like grocery shopping, laundry, and going to the gym. Really, there is nothing sexy about a Monday night...and this is actually good news. If someone schedules a date with you on a Monday night it means they are really eager to spend time with you. Screw the norms, they don't even want to wait for a more socially-acceptable nights of the week. Even Wednesday is an eternity away when you're in like.

The Tuesday Night Date:

A Tuesday night date can mean ambivalence: Sure, they'll grab coffee/a drink with you. And maybe, if things go well, it will turn into a late night. But it's also the night of "I'll just pop by for one drink, and if it sucks, I'll be home in time for Parks and Recreation." No one goes into a Tuesday night date expecting a super-long evening.

The Wednesday Night Date:

Statistically speaking, it's the best night of the week for a date. Maybe it's because by Wednesday night, people have recovered from the weekend and are looking for a nice break in the work week. Because it's a weeknight, Wednesday nights are unburdened by "Will we spend the night together?" pressure, which can free people up to act a little more brazenly, and lets longer nights feel more spontaneous.The Thursday Night Date:

Thursday nights are pretty good: It's almost the weekend, and people usually feel more free to stay out late on a Thursday night (and be hungover at work on a Friday) than they do earlier in the week. Still, Thursday isn't a complete free-for-all. A Thursday night date means you want to have a good time, but you're not yet ready to give up precious weekend time. A weekend date you have to work toward.
