It’s a situation that’s hard for even the most self-assured dating dynamo to handle: you go out with someone once, think it goes great, but then never hear from them again. The “what happened” questions can go on and on but in the end, we usually end up just feeling frustrated and confused. I know your friends probably reassure you that it wasn’t anything you didbut it might’ve been. Here are a few reasons why that guy never called you for a second date:
1. He didn’t feel the chemistry
This one is painful to hear but it’s fairly common. You might think you have everything but a last name in common with someone before you go out for the first time but then you quickly discover that there’s no amount of common ground that can compensate for lack of chemistry. Don’t worry; this doesn’t mean you’re unattractive. You just weren’t his taste. Shrug. Don’t let it get you down.
2. You talked negatively about an ex
Your creepy ex is not appropriate first date conversation, ever. That’s topic is best left until your guy asks about him and you’re on solid dating ground. If you hijacked the first date talking with rants about your sleazy ex you really shouldn’t be surprised that he didn’t call you again.
3. You lied before the date
Attention Internet Daters, this is for you! Ten year old photos on your dating profile just don’t cut it. You’re delusional if you think you still look like that. And if you didn’t inherit millions from your favorite uncle don’t say that you did. Nonsense like that will always get found out and you’ll never hear from him again.
4. You didn’t even offer to split the bill
You might not believe this but chivalry isn’t completely dead. Though it’s true that most guys are happy to pay for you both when he does the asking out, it’s just the right thing to do to offer paying your share. If all you’re interested in is finding someone to spoil you then you’re excused, and you won’t be surprised when he doesn’t call, right? For everyone else, this omission could cost you date number two.
5. He thought you weren’t interested
It’s a first date for a reason; you don’t know each other well, yet. You need to pay attention. Perhaps he went to hold your hand just as you raised it to smooth your hair. Or maybe he tried to put his arm around you just as you ran into an old friend and you went to give them a hug instead.
Little things like this that you might not have thought about at all could have indicated to him that you’re totally not into it. Thus, no phone call. But then again, if you didn’t get the “wow, his hand is touching mine” butterflies in a way that made you remember these little things, then maybe you actually don’t want to go out with him again.
