Most online daters don’t go on a lot of second dates. Introducing the Second Date Rule.

Unless you hate them, go on the second date.

Picture this: you’re on a first date. Someone you matched with on a dating app.

Things are going great. Conversation is flowing. You like their personality.

You think they’re cute.

But you’re not quite feeling it.

So, you decide to let them know you’re not interested in going further.

Or, you ghost them.

Whatever it is, you don’t feel like it will go anywhere.

First Date Hell

Heck, if the date was awful, I won’t judge you for not going on another date.

But, I do think we often judge a book by its cover.

First dates are nervewracking for both parties involved.

You don’t know how to act.

You want to leave a good impression.

That can get in the way of connecting deeper.

Introducing the Second Date Rule

My rule of thumb when on dating apps was to always go on a second date.
