10 Ways to Get a Man to Ask You On A Second Date …

January 24th, 2010 by john

Have you ever been on the perfect first date, with the most gorgeous man, and it goes so well and you go home perfectly content and then… he doesn’t call you back? I’ve spend endless nights analyzing what friends ‘did wrong’ to not get that call back, and sometimes it appears everything went so perfectly well, I have absolutely no idea what went wrong! So what can you do to ensure a second date, and more? Here are my top ten tips!

1. Let him be a man!

Men like to make the first move. Sure, some might be slow, and some don’t ever get the hint until you make your point really obvious, but he is the man, and usually the men like to be in control. There’s no harm in suggesting an idea for the date, but if you think he’d be more comfortable with his pick, go with it. Recent studies show that most failed relationships are initiated by women. I don’t know how much truth there is to that but I don’t see the harm in letting him take the lead.

2. Be interested!

Don’t wonder about what’s happening in Corrie, about what your friend is doing or about what you’ve got in the freezer. That’s one first date mistake you should totally avoid. Your mind should be completely on who you are with. Listen to him, and I mean really listen to him. If you can reuse information that he’s told you, such as names or incidents or carry on a discussion about something he mentioned instead of just nodding along, he will be impressed! Bottom line: Make him feel significant.

3. Be friendly!

You’d be surprised at how many similar stories I’ve heard from friends who’ve been on dates recently. From women who glare at any other females in the area to those who wince whenever he mentions a female name, be it his mum or sister, being possessive isn’t attractive! We’ve all had to deal with that jealous boyfriend in the past and you know how annoying it can be. So don’t put someone else throught it especially on the first date! Be friendly and open minded. It is an attractive quality to possess.
