Stuck at First Base? The Things You Do That Mean You Never Get a Second Date

Does your love life seem like one long quest to get a second date? Do you get lots of second dates, but not with the person you spent the first date with? Have you ever started to wonder if it's something to do with you? The truth is, there are things that you could be doing which are killing your chances of seeing the same guy more than once. This article will show you what they are. Once you know that, you can stop doing them and get a second date with ease - assuming you want to!

Mistake Number 1 - Looking Desperate

For many women, the pressure of going on a first date with someone is made even worse by the idea that they might not get a second. This can lead them into some very desperate looking behaviors. If you find yourself practically begging a guy to arrange a second date, you need to seal your lips, and pronto. Desperation is never sexy, and it makes you look as if you only want to be with this guy to trap him in some way. Not very flattering, and a guaranteed way to ensure that he never calls you again, ever.

Mistake Number 2 - Complaining About All Your Other Dates

If you've had a run of bad dates that never went anywhere, it's tempting to complain about them to the guy you're currently with. From your point of view, it's just letting off a little lighthearted steam. From his point of view, it's rank bad manners. His sympathies will lie with the guys you're complaining about, not with you. And adding "but I'm sure you're not like that" doesn't make it all right, either!

Mistake Number 3 - Making It All About You

Another common mistake that makes it difficult for you to get a second date is to spend the entire evening talking about yourself. How many people are on this date, anyway? That's right - two! So the balance of the conversation should reflect that. Tell him a little bit about who you are and what you do, then ask him a few questions about who he is and what he does. The conversation will develop it's own momentum, and you'll both finish up the evening feeling as if you've been truly listened to. Second date gold!

Mistake Number 4 - General Discourtesy

This shouldn't need saying, but sadly it does. It's amazing how many women forget their basic manners when they're on a date, and turn up late, forget their date's name, or simply don't bother to turn up at all without any explanation. Treat your date as you would like to be treated yourself, and you'll significantly improve your chances of seeing him again in the future.

Above all, the best way to get a second date is to feel relaxed about the first one. Go out, enjoy it, and don't act as if the fate of the universe depends on it. If you can communicate calm and relaxation and enjoyment, you'll automatically become the sort of woman guys want to spend more time with.
