Why Do I Never Get A Second Date?
It happens every single day, and for thousands of people in London there never seems to be a good explanation, and that is very frustrating. The first date happens, things go well, numbers are exchanged, and then…oh. Oh dear. No second date. Have you ever been planning the place you would buy with her, looking at ads for corner sofas for sale and thinking about what colour you would do the living room in when that phone call just never came? And it would seem that they are either extremely busy, or for some very odd reason they are not getting your messages… The truth is that not all first dates go as well as you thought, right? It’s easy to tell if a date has gone badly, but what do you do when things seem to have gone alright and there is no reasonable explanation? You read this list and analyse what happened, of course.
1) Were you the one who was talking all the time? Most people get nervous when meeting someone new for the first time, but obviously everyone handles it differently. Some people talk too much, others not enough. Could it be that you talked a bit too much about yourself and didn’t show enough interest in your date?
2) Perhaps it was a good date, and maybe the only reason they haven’t called back is because they don’t think there’s much point. Not that you weren’t fun, but maybe it’s more that they don’t think you share enough in common? If that is the case then think yourself lucky and feel satisfied that it likely wouldn’t have worked, not if you ended up on your fourth date with nothing to talk about.
3) Or they changed their mind. It happens, doesn’t it? Maybe they had a great time but met someone else? And maybe the signs were there but you didn’t want to admit it at the time? Do yourself a favour when dating in the capital: don’t get too emotionally attached right away. Remember that they call it a dating game, and there’s a good reason for it.
