I recently had a second date with a girl that I really liked, we had an amazing first date and I was very nervous going into our second date. The ironic opart is I am by nature a very relaxed person so it was out of character for me to be nervous. The tough part is you think (like I did) that the first date was so amazing that you HAVE to live up to that or better ... we were meeting at a restaurant, I arrived 15 min early and that helped, I simply said to myself she is no better than me, she is on an online dating site like me so when she showed up a cool cool relaxing chill came over me and the rest of the night I fell into the zone. We had another good date... The lesson, no need to stress, the worst that can happen is she doesn't want a third date.
This is so true!

Remember, she is also nervous, just like you!

I think sometimes we get inside our heads too much that we forget the other party is nervous about the date as well.

Great post fjp!

Thanks.

It's not like if it is a bad she will drag you out back and shoot you.




Unless it's Amy Fisher...

When in doubt, ask about her. Pay attention to the things she is interested in and ask about them. If there is something where her face lights up when she starts talking about it, that would be a good place to start because she obviously enjoys talking about it. Then ask follow up questions. People generally like talking about themselves.

Richey has an excellent point - relax!

Hopefully this will be the next date in a long number of them - no need to cover everything about each other right away! You are not under a gun here lol.....

Read the day's news - look for upbeat stories that you can bring up in conversation should you feel it is lagging. There's usually a couple of feel good stories in whatever newscast you catch, just have the info ready.

I do still feel that the most important thing to do is to relax about this, you are putting incredible pressure on yourself to be perfect here and there is no good reason to do that.

JMHO

oh, and Atlguy, you did nothing wrong, she was just not interested. If what you are doing is you, just keep doing that. The right one will appreciate it, and speaking for a lot of women here, men who do not play games about liking your company or not are quite refreshing!
