Gotta say, I’ve seen a good deal of legitimate advice of yours, which has been wanting to know how you approach arranging a 2nd date.
How many days after the first do you line up a 2nd? Whats your preferred date, do you approach it differently with a LTR prospect?
Would be greatly appreciated
Thanks, brother. I appreciate it.
There is no straight answer to this. The biggest thing is to allow the girl to also make an investment in you. If I planned the first date, it is usually me allowing that girl into my world. Meaning I am giving her a peek of my world. I would then allow her to give me a peek into her world and allow her to plan something.
Now, this can go two ways depending on her interest level in you. If she has a high interest she will make the effort, and there is something powerful about having a girl invest in you. However, if her interest level is low and she has 10 different guys hitting her up, chances are she will fade away. In that case, I let her slip, I don't invest time/energy/resources in girls that are not fully interested and invested. Too old to convince people to be in my life.
Having said that, this doesn't mean you can't suggest a second date. In fact, you should bring it up towards the end of the date (depending on how well you can read her interest level). Perhaps casually while talking about one of her hobbies/interests. Let her know you would like to hang out again, be clear if that is what you want.
And yes, if it's a girl I am not fully interested in and just casually dating her then I simply approach it less intentionally. Meaning, I care less if I see her again or not, don't suggest anything, and allow her to chase me. Otherwise, bye Felicia.
With girls that you see LTR potential, you should be more intentional and clear. Relate to her as much as possible. Make an emotional imprint during the first few dates. Allow her to invest in you.
Hopefully, all of that makes sense and helps.
