First you have to ask yourself (before you wonder how to get the second date): do I want the second date? If the person seems normal and likeable and you feel you have an emotional connection, the answer is probably “yes.” The thing is, if you seemed the same way, the answer would probably also be “yes” if you asked for that second date. If you’re coming from a dating site, your first meeting is really the “second date.” Dating websites let you get to know each other before you see face to face, and getting to know each other a little is the purpose of a first date. How to get the second date is the same as getting the first meeting. But how do you project that normal and likeable personality? And how do you forge an emotional connection? The first trick is: be yourself. Not the nervous, stammer-y guy or girl you may be around strangers, but your best self. The way you’re relaxed around friends. There’s a lot of forgiveness for nervousness on first dates, but there’s a lot more to be said for confidence. With more experience you will gain more confidence. It’s a catch 22 like having to have money to make money. You have to have to be confident before you can truly have confidence. If you really don’t have confidence then you have to fake it until you do. Don’t ruin the date with self destructive comments, project confidence without being overconfident. Now, that’s just how to act normal. To become likeable you have to be able to admit your short comings and not become defensive if they are brought up. On the other hand you don’t want to put them in the spot light either. If they do come up at some point show your sense of humor by making a small joke about it and move on. If your date tends to focus on them throughout the duration of your date then you probably don’t want to ask them on a second anyway. Don’t worry if there isn’t a strong emotional connection right away. They take time to develop, especially if you want one that lasts. However, if you have similar senses of humor, think similarly, and make eye contact easily then you have the start of a good emotional connection. When the night is over you want to leave the other person wanting more. This is truly the key to getting the second date. If you ask them or they ask you then you succeeded in leaving them wanting more. Set a time limit for you date before it even begins. If it goes well take it to the max time limit or, if it’s going extremely well, take it as long as you want.
