Anything that ends with the potential for a nice long walk someplace private, in case the mood to smooch hits you  :)

I've had a bad experience with dating a girl that I'd been friends with. It was pretty awkward, both of us knew eachother and what we like with the exception of relationship needs. I was so used to us just being friends that I made minimal moves. Unfortunately, she believed in the man making all the moves. She eventually got bored and went after someonme else.

I've been there, and I've found that waiting for at least date 3 to have sex seems to work a lot better than hooking up on date 1!! I've never had a serious relationship develop out of a one-night stand. I'm not saying this will be the case with you, but maybe it's time to move on and save yourself the confusion. Clean slate and all.

Once went on a date where a guy was happen to let me know just how much he was at ease with being a "flake". He used the word more than once. So I felt if he is comfort in his "flakiness" and still has a good job. I should be more relaxed about the fact that I liked being super busy as long as I scheduled my "work time" with my "fun time". I thought things we going well until I started to tell him what I liked doing. He started to go on the defensive about being a flake. It didn't seem to matter that I didn't care either way if he liked to relax a lot. He just resented the fact that I liked "keeping busy" and actually liked my job. He became sarcastic about how much I made, trying to get me to tell him. The date just got very uncomfortable and went from an easy date to just pure disaster. I refuse to think it my fault because I simply talked about myself since he talked about himself. Inferiority complex is a baaaaad thing I tell you. Very unattractive in a man.

Congratulation, you thought of something that I never thought of, "Brovo".  On my first date I was 14, I took the girl next door to the movie's and we kissed of course, and even was lucky to have fondled her puppies that first time.  I remember having such confidence that day.  We actually went out for a year and a half.  Her and her family move to California, that was a very sad week for me, I can tell you that.  Finally got over it and moved on with my life...   Dr Checko...   (Nickname)

take some initiative and call him,let him know you had a fun night and you enjoyed the conversation and all that. He probably didn't know what do to either and didn't want to be too forward or overstep any boundaries.So if you call him I think that would make him more comfortable and it would be easier for him to "make a move" the next time you go out.(hopefully there's a next time) Good Luck!!

it lasted two seconds (i realize this now because i can compare it to other kisses i've enjoyed) but i literally lost ALL sense of time and space. she was (and still is) my dream date; after we pulled away the first words i said were, "that did not just happen." because it was TRULY UNBELIEVABLE. It happened when, where, and with who I wanted. SPECTACTULAR! We're still dating, and that even was a while ago.\n\nYou'll never forget it, especially if the conditions are JUST RIGHT!\n\nwhee! now i'm feeling all romantic!\nhappy valentine's!

I don't know that there's much you can DO except be disappointed and tell him that you are. What did he say he had to do instead(if anything?) Does he make a habit of this or was this your first date? Did he seem to like being with you during the 2 hours or did he seem to be in a hurry to be elsewhere? These are questions you have to ask yourself or him. Personally, if somebody makes a promise to me it's a BIG black mark against them if they don't keep it without  a good excuse!

Being a girl who has had that happen twice I think maybe I can help.  Talk to her on your own with no other people around. Laugh and have fun as usual and then once your feeling comfortable tell her just what you said.  "I feel like we have some kind of connection with each other."  If she says she feels it too, then tell her you think maybe y'all should explore it by going out on a date. Then let things develope from there.  If she doesn't feel the same then just don't go any further and you can stay friends until she does

Haha!  It's good to be back - computer was down for a few days.  Well.. I'm not a guy, (obviously), but unless things go REALLY well on a date it's a turn-off when the guy is all over you.  You've got to conquer the gettin-to-know-you before you jump on that.  So if it's a REALLY good date then you did get to know each other and it's okay to fall into that animal instinct.  If you're like 99% of the guys out there then maybe it is a good idea to relieve your stress before the date.  You may not get the urge to, er, be selfish on the date, and that will tell the girl that you respect her.  Also - it might give that first impression that you're a laid back bad-a*s type that most of the ladies can't resist.  So yeah - I think it is a good idea!  HA!

I think you ought to finish the date. He can't help it if he doesn't measure up to all your expectations. And you don't have to go out with him again,  but don't be too cruel when he telephones.

I BELIEVE THAT YOU DID RIGHT BY NOT KISSING HER ON FIRST DATE.THIS MAY OR MAY NOT LET HER KNOW THAT YOU'RE MORE INTERESTED IN HER,THAN WHAT YOU CAN GET OUT OF HER. GIVE HER A CALL THE NEXT DAY OR TWO,JUST SEE HOW THINGS ARE,IF SHE HASN'T CONTACTED YOU ALREADY. BY YOU RECIEVING RATHER GIVING THE HUG SHOWS THAT YOU,RE PATIENT AND A GENTLEMAN. TRY NOT TO BE TO PUSHY IN A NEW RELATIONSHIP,SOMETIMES IT THROWS UP RED FLAG TO THE OTHER. HANG OUT,GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER,AND JUST GO WITH FEELS RIGHT.  I HOPE THE BEST FOR YOU !

Thanks for the upbeat greeting....it's rare to see happy people here! (no offence folks).....no date for me, boyfriend is out of town......expectant sex?  Never have expectations, usually bites you in the ass....or maybe she might. :))

The next time you see him, give him a hug and kiss him. He obviously wants that to happen because he asked you back out. I also think that you two should have a talk about what each of you is feeling and what feels appropriate to do/say.

If you asked me on a date, I would have made arrangements to make it a night that you would want to date me again.I think he was in shock, to be asked and just put some icing on your attempt to get him through that situation,which is very wrong...You need to ask him if he is joking you or not,and be straight forward with him...Whatever you do,don't wait around for the answer,because there are many men that will not turn you down...Unfortunately I would,because I am married to that girl that asked me out...lol
