After your date, you can tell things went well if the other person reaches out to you. Any kind of conversational effort (call, text, or DM) is a green flag! They may wait a bit to fulfill the (now-outdated) “three day rule,” so don’t read too much into it if they don’t reach out right away. Or, they could be waiting for you to text or call them first, so don't be afraid to do so.
If the person says they enjoyed your company, had a good time, or mentions something fun or funny from the date, it’s a great sign. If they talk about seeing you again, or make plans for another date, it’s a sure bet that they’re into you!

Internally, the signal that you're going to have is wanting to spend more time with this person. On the other hand, your date might communicate that they’d love to see you again or already be talking about making a future plan. For example, they may say, “This is happening in town, and I would love to experience that with you.” If they're already talking about making plans with you and you also feel positive about it, that's a very good sign that the first date went well.
Second, if you’re feeling curious about them or like you want to get to know them more, and they feel the same about you, that’s a great sign that a date went well.
