Here's a situation that most dating dynamos can relate to; you go out on a first date with a guy, it went great, but then nothing. He said he'd call, but he didn't. You take solace with your friends who reassure you that you didn't do anything wrong. You're left with confusion and frustration and the unanswered question of why. Read on for five reasons why he never called;
1. He didn't feel the chemistry
Though it's tough to hear, this happens more often than you might think. Before you go out you might think you have lots of common ground, but that won't compensate for a lack of physical attraction. It doesn't mean you're unattractive. It just mean that this one guy dind't feel the heat. It happens so shrug it off and move on.
2. You talked negatively about an ex
Your creepy ex is not appropriate first date conversation, ever. That's topic is best left until your guy asks about him and you're on solid dating ground. If you hijacked the first date talking with rants about your sleazy ex you really shouldn't be surprised that he didn't call you again.
3. You lied before the date
This one is mainly for internet daters. You need to stop posting photos that are ten years old on your dating profile. You're fooling yourself if you think you still look like that. Furthermore, if you didn't inherit a million bucks from dear old dad, don't tell us that you did. Did you honestly think you wouldn't get called on this? Why are you even surprised that he didn't call you back?
4. You didn't even offer to split the bill
Contrary to popular opinion, chivalry is not dead. Not completely anyway. Most of the time if a guy asks you out he's happy to pay the whole shot. Having said that it's just classy to offer to split the bill. If you want to come across as a gold digger than by all means keep your mouth shut and good luck. But for the rest of us this oversight could cost you a second date.
5. He thought you weren't interested
You have to be very careful on a first date; you don't know each other yet. And this means that one of you might be making a move that the other could miss entirely if they aren't paying attention. If he hasn't called to go out again, replay the first outing in your minddid he try to hold your hand but then you raised it to hail a cab and forgot? Did he go to put his arm around you right as you ran into an old friend and went to hug them?
You meant nothing by it, but it coul've been interpreted as a lack of interest. Then again, if he did touch you and you didn't get that butterfly feeling, then maybe you don't really want a second date anyway. - 32510
