Is her mind on you?

We’ve already looked at seven reasons why women turn down a second date, but now it’s time to look at why men may run a mile from another date with a woman!

1. You didn’t seem interested in him.

Paying a bit of attention to your date is pretty essential. If a woman ignores a man, doesn’t ask questions about his likes and dislikes and fails to engage in much eye contact, then you give the impression of not being interested.

2. You talked too much about yourself.

It’s always good to share details about yourself, but there’s a fine line between sharing information and dominating the conversation by endlessly talking about you, you, you! Get that balance wrong and he won’t be keen to endure another date with you.

3. You used Twitter and Facebook during the date.

It’s fine to enjoy using Twitter and Facebook and not surprising that you may want to share news of how your date went – but save it until afterwards! Getting your phone out, sending Tweets or updating your Facebook status during the date is just plain rude.

4. You talked about your ex boyfriend.

At some point when you’re dating, a conversation about your ex’s will inevitably happen, but the first date is not the time or place. If you talk about your ex boyfriend, whether in a friendly or disparaging way, it’s no wonder your date doesn’t want to come back for seconds.

5. You didn’t make an effort with your look.

It’s a sad fact, but looks do matter on a date and it does help if you’ve made an effort with getting ready. If you went straight out from work without changing, didn’t apply fresh make-up or run a brush through tangled hair, then you give the impression to a man that you’re not bothered. Who can blame him to look elsewhere for another date?

6. You didn’t seem tactile.

It may have been your first date, but a little bit of willingness to show signs of being tactile would have helped. If you pulled your hand away from being held or brushed his arm away from your shoulder, then you’ve given the impression of not being keen on physical contact.

7. You didn’t offer to pay.

Some men may like to pay for the first date activities, be it a meal, drinks or cinema trip, but it’s always polite to offer to pay your share. Failing to offer to pay at all, and give the impression that you assume he’ll pay doesn’t bode too well in the impression stakes. No wonder he’s not keen to go on a second date.

7 Reasons Why Men Say No to a Second Date is a post from: Dating Tips

Discover what he really means!

Online dating is a great way of meeting new men, but whilst his dating profile may seem self-explanatory, you can’t always take what he says at face value.

Whether it’s his views on what he’s looking for in a woman, a description of his personality or his employment status, sometimes you have to look between the lines to discover the reality.

If you’re wondering what the statements in his dating profile may really mean, then read on to discover the truth!

1. His Ideal Woman

If his profile says that he’s “looking for a woman who cares about her appearance and looks good,” you may think that sounds positive.

But in reality, it could mean that he values looks as far more important than personality, plus it could be a sign that all he wants is some great looking arm candy on his arm to wow his friends.

2. What He’d Like to Do On His Ideal Date

Cheesy sunset beach walk

If his profile simply says, “My ideal date is a romantic candlelight meal or a long walk on the beach in the sunset,” it may seem nice on the surface, but really reeks of lack of imagination. It’s a sign that he can’t think of anything better to say and hasn’t really given it that much thought.

3. Employment and Salary

The profile section that deals with employment and jobs should give you an insight into what he does for a living. But it’s not always clear cut.

If his profile has the words, “I’m in between jobs” in it, alarm bells should start ringing. Put simple, this probably means, “I’m unemployed and out of work.”

Likewise, if there’s a space for him to include his yearly salary – and some dating sites do have one – then take it with a pinch of salt. It’s especially so if he’s picked one of the highest salaries, as he may just be trying to impress you with illusions of money.

It’s probably better if he’s left it blank – he may be too shy to share this with the world, but you can find out for yourself when you vet him in person.

Football comes first

4. His Hobbies and Lifestyle

Of course you want to know about his hobbies and lifestyle, but you may need to use your own imagination here too.

If his profile says he, “loves sports and football,” then what it could really mean is that his Saturday’s are dedicated to sport, so don’t expect to go out on a date then.

5. What He’s Looking For

Finally, when he describes what he’s looking for, if his profile says, “I’m not looking for anything serious,” “I’m just looking for friendship,” or “Let’s just see what happens,” it all means he’s looking for sex.

5 things he really means when his dating profile says… is a post from: Dating Tips

1. She looks relaxed, happy and smiley.

Smiling and relaxed

When you’re out on a date, you can tell about how a woman is feeling about you and the date by their behaviour and body language. If your date is looking relaxed, comfortable, happy and smiling and laughing a lot, then there’s a big chance that she’s enjoying your company and being with you. When you’ve got those two factors covered, she probably really likes you too!

2. She initiates emails, texts and calls you.

If you’re dating someone you’ve met online, then sometimes even harder to gauge whether or not she’s really into you. However, one good way of getting an idea is looking at how she communicates with you.

If it’s frequently the case that your woman initiates emails, texts or phone calls to you, rather than you having to chase her, then it’s a great indication she likes you (if they’re frantic, persistent and never-ending, and you feel like you’re being stalked, then this is extreme behaviour and not good).

3. She touches you.

Holding hands across the table

We’re not talking in a sexual way, but if your date seems to frequently touch you when you’re out, such as reaching her hand across the table to touch you, resting her hand on your arm, walking up close to you or putting her hand on your knee, then it’s a good indication that she likes you.

Her touches may be short and sweet, lasting only seconds in some cases, but it’s great that she’s doing it. When women don’t like men, they’ll totally shy away from any form of touching.

4. She asks questions and is interested in you.

When you’re chatting together, you can tell a lot by how your date interacts with you. A good conversation, where the woman is genuinely interested in you, is likely to be populated by her asking questions about you – what your interests are, what your favourite parts of life are etc.

Not only is this is a great indication that she likes you, but it’s also your chance to sell yourself more to her. So think about your answers, answer honestly and don’t be afraid to reveal a bit about your true self.
