Get More Dates – How to Get More Second Dates
It’s one thing to successfully get a first date, but getting a second date is a completely different story. Ghosting is so common now a days, and it can be so frustrating to have a great first date that doesn’t lead to second date!
If you want to get more dates…specifically second dates – here are ten simple tips. Dating women during the early stages of dating is actually more like a grading rubric. You just need to follow a few simple steps to double your chances of getting a second date!
What to Do Before the First Date to Get More Dates
The first set of tips are actually things to do even BEFORE your first date.
You see – women usually come up with a first impression of you, and once they have that impression it can be hard for them to change their mind about you.
So here’s what you need to do BEFORE the first date to double your chance of getting a second date.
1. Text to Say You Are Excited
Women love text messages – even if they aren’t big texters themselves.
Before you meet a girl for a date, just send her a quick date along the lines of, “I’m looking forward to meet you tonight!” That’s it!
By sending this text, you actually make her more excited to meet you!
2. Dress Nicely for the First Date
You may be an incredible man. Super sweet. Charming. Successful. Amazing.
But if a girl spent 1 hour getting ready for a date and you show up in shorts and a t-shirt she will be disappointed.
Think of a first date as an interview. Dress nicely to make a great impression and double your chances of getting a second date.
3. Show Up on Time
Show up on time for your first date. If you live in certain parts of the country (like California), it may be acceptable to show up a bit late – but you are taking a BIG risk in showing up late.
Arrive 5-10 minutes early so that you can greet the woman when she arrives. Most impressions of people happen within 5-10 seconds of meeting them.
You don’t want her to have a bad impression of you before you even meet her because you showed up late!
How to Get More Dates – What to Do During the First Date
Here’s what to do DURING your first date. Because if the first date is bad you won’t be able to get a second date!
4. Show Interest in Her During the Date
Believe it or not, you don’t have to be particularly funny or charming for a woman to like you. You just have to show interest!
So during the first date, ask the woman about her!
Studies show that people like people who show interest in them. So if you want a girl to like you, ask questions and get to know her.
5. Pay for the Date
If you ask a woman out on a date you need to pay – simple as that. Many women will decline a second date if she paid for herself on a first date.
Even if she offers to pay, say, “I got it. I’d love to treat you.”
Trust me on this one.
If you don’t want to pay for a first date, then ask a girl out for a walk in the park. Or suggest the two of you check out a free festival.
Or, ask a girl out for coffee. Even the most expensive cappuccino will come in under $7.
6. Get Ideas for a Second Date
During the first date, get ideas for a second date!
Find out if she likes a certain kind of food, and then suggest going to grab that cuisine for a second date. For example, if she likes Mediterranean, you can suggest a Greek restaurant for a second date.
If she is active, suggest the two of you go on a hike or rent bikes for a second date.
If she likes museums or art, suggest checking out a local gallery for a second date.
This way, when you DO ask her on a second date…she’s more likely to say “yes” because you will be proposing something she’d like to do.
How to Get More Second Dates – Tips for AFTER the 1st Date
The key to getting a second date is to NOT let too much time go between the first date and the second date. If you let more than a week go by, a girl may lose interest, think you are not interested in her, and move on.
Assuming you see her again within a week…here’s what you need to do to increase your chances of her saying “yes” to a second date.
7. Let Her Know You Had Fun After the First Date
After the first date, text her to let her know that you had fun and that you’d like to see her again. You can send this text THAT night of the first date. There’s no need to wait until the next day.
In fact, a girl will like you MORE if you show interest and text her that night.
Ideally, you want to let her know that you’d like to see her again as you are saying goodbye after the first date. It shows confidence and it doesn’t leave her wondering if the date was good or bad. Girls, like guys, like a little bit of positive reinforcement!
8. Call (or Text) to Arrange the Details for the 2nd Date
Girls lose interest if you let too much time go between dates. (Really!) Girls also like to know when they’ll be seeing you again.
So after the first date, call the girl within 1-2 days to say you had fun and to pick a time and a place for a second date. Don’t be vague! Get the details down…meaning the exact time (7pm) and the exact place (at XX restaurant).
9. Suggest a 2nd Date She’d Like
Suggest a date that a girl would want to do! If a girl asked you to go shopping with her, you’d say “no” – right?
So don’t ask a girl to watch a basketball game with you if she hates sports. Find out what she likes to do (see tip #6), and then ask her to do that for a date.
10. Confirm the Date Ahead of Time
It never hurts to confirm a date ahead of time. Send her a quick text the night before your date to confirm that you are on for your date the next day.
