Dating : Finally went on my first date in forever (meaning 4-5 years) yesterday
I wish I could say, like some posts I’ve seen on here, sparks were flying, we ended it with a kiss & plans to see each other next week. But oh well.
We had a good time. I was a bit worried I’d have nothing to say and we’d just sit in awkward silence, but conversation was great. It started to fade towards the end as we were headed to our cars, but We agree to text later. I text her when I get home that I had a good time and we should go out again (just to see if anything would come of it). No response.
I’m glad I got to have the experience. I’m a bit sad it’s over though. I’m not sure why I made this post. Just wanted to brag about the small accomplishments I guess. Hopefully it doesn’t take as long to find another one lol.
Edit: she texted back 30 min after posting this. Said she wasn’t interested. We wished each other luck. Kinda glad I made her comfortable enough to not ghost me at least.
Well done! It looks like you did everything right, which is great even if this one doesn’t work out.
Good for you for going. I am trying to get to that point after a similar length of time not dating. Even if she doesn’t want to get together again it is fine. You took a big step.
Bruh that’s awesome and at least she was straight up and honest, whether over text or in person! « I see this as an absolute win » Smart Hulk, Avengers Endgame
What did y’all do?
I (20m) had my first 5 first dates between August 2020 and April 2021. Only one second date so far.
Well I’m glad she didn’t ghost you my dude . Dating is depressing
Hey congrats on going on your date regardless! It does take time to warm up and build up chemistry after awhile. Glad she was honest about her plans and hope you all continued to remain friends. Might want to consider doing « action » dates (going to a theme park, bowling, baking classes – depending on your covid situation) next time. I suffer from awkward silence too and I find that doing stuff together gets me more in the natural state of talking. Good luck bud!
Just remember No Reply is a Reply.
congrats dude. it’s a big confidence booster to get out there. I know i just had my own first date after 4 years on my own and it was a great time. Now if i could just get that conversation game down and stop putting my foot in my mouth i might get a 2nd date too.
Girls are so fucking confusing. You could have the best date ever and she will say she’s not interested. Just hang out on the sidelines and ignore her. Chase your purpose and improve yourself. Girls like guys who don’t chase
Just a bit of advice: try to at least get a kiss in at the end of the date.
I’ve noticed that every time I don’t go for a kiss, they aren’t interested in a second date. Could be coincidence or just correlation, but I don’t think so. I think it adds that little bit of excitement that helps dramatically.
Omg interesting but not funny tho girls are freakishly
