Why Women Don’t Get Second Dates

Dating is such a weird concept. Who invites? Who pays? How long until you call? It’s pretty confusing. After a first date, most women would prefer to wait for the guy to call them again for a second, but sometimes it just doesn’t happen. Should you call him? Of course, there is nothing wrong with a call or text, but the truth is if a guy wanted a second date, he’d probably call. Here are some reasons he might not want a second date.

1. You weren’t grateful.
With sites like WealthyMen and shows like the Real Housewives, sometimes guys are expecting women to be using them for their money, even if they aren’t really well-off. If you’re not very grateful (you can’t really say please and thank you enough), he might assume you weren’t interested, just bored. If you like the guy and are having a good time, be vocal about it. Thank him and let him know you had a really good time. If you don’t say it, how will he know?

2. You were on your phone. The whole time.
As DatePro has discussed before, we know that it’s the 21st century. People have phones with them almost every minute of the day. However, if you’re texting every five minutes, he’s assume you’re not having a good time and telling every one of your girlfriends about it. Instead, be attentive and present, and keep your phone in your purse. Check it after dinner or if you use the restroom. Be polite!

3. You were a prude.
Now, now, we don’t mean you have to put out after the first date. But it’s not the 1800s. You can kiss him after the first date without him thinking you’re some floozy. If you turn away at a kiss, won’t hold his hand, or get offended when he invites you to his apartment, he’s going to think you’re a tease who isn’t interested. Don’t compromise your standards, but show him that you are, in fact, attracted to him.

4. You were annoying.
You whined about your food, you complained about your drink, you rambled about your roommate and after a couple glasses of wine, you cried about your ex. There is nothing attractive about a girl who is self-absorbed and obnoxious. Ask questions, be polite, and be positive.

5. You were too clingy.
Guess what, it’s a first date! You two aren’t engaged; actually, you’re not even in a relationship. So if he talks to another girl, don’t get jealous. And don’t wrap yourself around his arm like a boa constrictor. If you’re already making him feel smothered 3 hours into dating, trust us. There will not be a second date. Guaranteed.

You are a woman, and you got a first date. Be yourself, but keep this tips in mind, and a second date is practically inevitable!
