So I was going over my expenses for 2008-2009 and I realized that I go on about 30 dates a year, give or take. Out of these yearly dates I average about 3 second dates from this entire group. These second dates usually turn into a few months worth of dating before they peter out of course. But I realized that I'm hitting on "dateable" girls about 10% of the time... and I wondered, is that as low as it sounds in my head? So gents, how often do you flip a first date into a second date? Note: Your flip rate can mean many things... so feel free to elaborate why your rate is as high/low as it is.
1. There aren't many single guys on this forum 2. There aren't many single guys here who get a first date to begin with Good luck
Yeah, I don't volume date. Those who I do go out with, I usually know in different contexts beforehand, so the relationships tend to last longer than just one hit-or-miss date. Looking over my receipts for the past year, I do re-see a lot of prostitutes, though, if that helps your data set.
Dang 30 dates a year and you still can't find the right one? At least you are getting dates. Good luck to you sir.
I'm picky on who I ask out in the first place. I've only been on 3 first dates this year. I got two second dates and both turned into relationships. Other first date didn't have a romantic spark, but she has become one of my best friends. 30 first dates to me sounds like you want to play the field more than actually find someone that you want to spend time.
Donny- When I took your mother out for a second date, we went to Chilis. She loved it, she got baby back ribs.
I only go on dates with girls that I know I would go on a 2nd date with...the only way you wouldnt be quite sure is if it was a blind date or if you met briefly at a bar/club and went on a date. I need to at least hang out socially with a girl amongst a group of people a couple times before I go out on a date with them. Once you go on 1 date...unless you act like a douche, there'll be a 2nd date.
How I feel too. That's what I did with my GF and we have been together for 18 months now. I guess I got lucky
I've never turned down the option for a second date. Mostly because if I got laid on the first date I didn't consider it a date. Basically just a glorified hookup. If I didn't, which to be fair was most of the time, then I already felt I was invested enough to continue to go out until I saw the chick naked. As I read that, it sounds bad. And I'm not even close to what one would consider a "player", far from it. It makes me curious...
I hear ya...It's hit or miss...I think I know within the first 5 minutes if: a) would take them on a second date; b) would just bang them and not go out with them again; c) this b*tch is lame and I need to jet... That being said, it's either Feast or Famine...You have your mojo working or you're in a drought...
I'm glad to see a healthy number of people in the 25% and under range. I don't feel like such a picky weirdo now.
I'll chime in. I rarely go on a 2nd date because usually after the 1st date, I'll find plenty of reasons why I could never be with that girl long term so there is no real reason to go after a 2nd date other than it just being friendly and nothign more, so then it really isn't a date at that point.
I think I haven't gotten a second date in a VERY LONG TIME. I don't get second dates mainly because I am so picky about dating that I only date my wife. :grin: Fixed. Seriously speaking, Mr. Donny, sir... why so many dates? Why not just stay with one, if I may ask? Do you pull the covers up in the morning and see hammer time? (name that movie - difficulty: moderate)
