Helpful Hints To Get That Second Date

by Pam Baldwin

You’ve had the first date and would like to have a second date with her now. You have the sense that things went well, and consider the time spent together. It wasn’t so easy to figure out what she was feeling though, as it often isn’t on the first date. Nothing catastrophic occurred, so the possibility of another date with this woman are pretty good, all in all.

Write down what you did on your first date, and something you liked about each event. This is an invaluable bit of information for the follow-up phone call. Recalling specific details of the date is a very subtle way of showing interest in your lady.

Secondly, do an exercise to build your confidence. Talking to yourself in the mirror, doing jumping jacks to gain adrenaline, or calling a friend to gain confidence, are all good ways to conjure up the big man on campus in you for that call. This is an important step, but don’t take it too far! cockiness, is a major turn off for women!

Pick up the phone and go for it! Choosing to identify who you are promptly will lessen any potential confusion as to whom she is speaking with, and keep your self-confidence intact. Talk about her and her day, and how she has been since the first date with you. It’s a known fact that we all like to be the center of attention, we all like to know there is someone interested in our well-being. Be sure to show interest by asking questions, but not so many that you seem to be prying. Women like men who know how to listen, and seem interested enough to ask questions.

Now for the fun part! Ask her what her plans are several days from now. Try to give enough time for her to prepare for the date. Women prefer to pick out their attire days in advance so they can make changes as they see fit. If she says she has no plans, simply ask her if she’d like to go out with you again. Don’t say, \”second date\”. Those words may be too official for her, and scare away. \”Going out\”, is a much more casual way to ask. If she has plans, state what the purpose of the call is. Tell her that you had a lot of fun when you went out, and you’re wondering if she’d like to go out with you sometime. Make sure, you ask in a very casual manner.

If she said \”yes\”, that fantastic! However, she may not have given the answer you were hoping for. In that case, decide if you really want to go out with this particular person again, and if you do, tell her you’d like to see her again when she has some free time. Give her your number and tell her if she’d like to do that, to give you a call when she’s available. Chances are, she may wait until she feels in charge of the situation to go out with you again. Or, maybe there won’t be a call at anytime. Whatever happens, go on with your life! Do not sat waiting by the phone for a call that may never come, or stop living your life.

The great thing is that if that second date doesn’t happen, you can always try again with another woman. If you did everything as it should have been done on the first date, like being polite and a gentleman, listening when she talked, and things like that and she still doesn’t call, then maybe she just isn’t the one for you. At least you’ve only invested in one date at this point, and you can use the experience to better prepare for your next date with someone new.

Lastly, be sure to be yourself. People like people. Trying to be someone you are not, will only land you in trouble down the road. Be kind. Be courteous. Be a good listener. Be involved. Be spontaneous! If you can follow these simple directions, i’m sure that second date will be a piece of cake.
