Exploring My Own Roads Less Taken

July 28, 2012

What Did I Miss?

Wondering why that first date you thought was SO successful didn't lead to another?
[T]he next time you go on an amazing first date, before you tell your friends about it, before you broadcast your joy all over Facebook, do a little self-check:
Was he a little too agreeable, a little too down-to-earth? Did he barely talk about himself and only ask questions about you? That’s not necessarily a positive attribute, you know. Were you impressed that he wasn’t trying to impress you? Because a lack of bravado on his part could just as well reveal his disinterest. Did he seem just a little too perfect, almost as if he knew the exact right thing to say at every moment? Because that’s really just the sign of someone who’s been on a lot of first dates.
Darned good advice, I'd say, and info I wish I'd had back in my thirties when I re-entered the dating pool.
