If I asked her out, I expect her to show interest in a second date. If she doesn't she isn't interested. I will not be the only driver of a relationship. I don't want to date a passive person. It needs to be mutual otherwise I am wasting my time and money.
Lot depends on how the first date went and how the two feel at the end of it. And the personalities at play. The most important thing in a relationship is comfort with each other. To the extent there is a certain level of comfort from the first date, it should not matter how long you take to schedule second - if there is mutual interest this will naturally happen at the earliest convenience for both. It is, however, very important to stay connected at least every other day over chat or phone.
I would say, intent for a second date, should be expressed within 24-48 hours, and suggestions of time and location should be made either within 3-4 days for stable matches or 5-7 days for uncertain people your not sure about.
No specific time frame to make plans. However, by the next day after the 1st date you should at least say whether or not a 2nd date is in the cards at least. Do not waste anyone's time if not interested. As long as you have the understanding that a 2nd date will happen, do not put pressure on WHEN the 2nd date will happen.
When I am in the dating mode, if I like a lady after a first date and I want to see her again, I will call her within two days of the first date to ask for a second date.
there are NO Rules... maybe he had other obligations, maybe his Mom got sick and he was too worried about her to think about anything else, maybe he runs a home for run away parakeets... Maybe he has been working... "Not everything has a Meaning"
Depends on the situation. If you both hit it off really well then it can be right at the end of the 1st date. But if you are unsure I would wait at least 3 days to maybe a week.
I do know it’s a huge mistake (especially if you are a man) to talk to about future dates on a first date. Huge turn off to women unless they are 100% into me which is rare.
If I had a good time I'd at least express an interest in meeting up again when I thank them for the previous date (either later that day or the following morning), if they feel the same then would start looking at possible when's in messaging thereafter.
There isn't a set time, I've been known to clearly say before the 1st date ends that I'd like to see him again, lets plan for another. We don't have to plan it right then, I just make my intentions clear that I'd be open to it. Sometimes we do plan it right there, other times it may take a few days.
After the first date, we kiss and become official boyfriend/girlfriend, so counting dates stops mattering after the first. We just hangout at eachothers house or different places around town which is like an informal date anyways
I usually talk to people 1-3 months before going on the first date. The date is just the start of a physical bonding (not referring to actual sex) that has already been emotionally built upon.
When I was active in the dating scene, I have gotten text message from guys soon after we parted while driving home. they mentioned how much they enjoy the date and would like to see me again.
I don’t know if there are any rules out there. You can do the same… just text saying you had a great time and would love to go out again.
I admit to be old fashioned and being the one to show respect and interest by asking the lady out. After that it should be anyone's turn to ask someone on a date.
But it shouldn't be solely one person asking for the dates unless both partners understand the "why" and agree upon it.
I wouldn't overthink it, If you've had a good first date then as a general rule the next date just evolves, just by keeping in touch with them you'll find yourself meeting up/arranging a date naturally.
I am overthinking things. I mean I’ve been super busy with work and he’s been busy with plans and our date only ended yesterday but I’m just worried that I’m either going to blow it by not being forward or by being too forward! Argh!
Awwww, but there's nothing wrong with overthinking things, because that just means your emotionally invested. I'm 100% convinced that if you're true to yourself and your personality you'll smash it mate x
If you two really hit it off, you should already have made plans for #2. If it was an average type date, a few days to a week- chat a bit- see if there will be a #2. If it was a bad date, call and just discuss how life will still go forward!
If you know him enough to know that there is some upcoming event/restaurant/other thing whatever he'd like, mention it to him and see if he'd let you take him there for #2.
I’m so bad at that 😅 I’m trying to be better at it - been single a long time and I’m trying to stop letting work be my whole life. I’d love to just be someone who could do that. I’m gonna try though, thank you
Depends. There are times (like now) when I am very busy and have trouble finding time. But generally I would do it either at the end of the first date or in a call within 36 hours.
I don't mess about. If I like someone on a first date (AND getting on well with them) I'll make arrangements to see them again before the date is over.
Why don’t you guys watch the Super Bowl at his house together and get a nacho platter of Mexican food with beef cheese all the good works and you’ll have a great time. I know that the NFL plays in London England so they probably will show the Super Bowl
I tend to like to wait at least a week but that depends on wether I’m busy but if I really like the woman I’d assure her that I will like to see her again
I would give her a few days to regroup. But send her a place holding text. "I enjoyed your company on Tuesday night" that way she knows she is on your mind.
During the first date, before leaving the reminder that we should meet up again soon. Or have the bridge 'hey i know of a party going on next weekend'. Easy game.
If your both into each other. Then just keep meeting each other as often as reasonably possible. Why do people over think this stuff. The is no logic to love, its completely random 90% of the time.
