If you've enjoyed yourself, it's pretty clear that a second date is imminent. Don't over-analyze the date. Go for a second one and find out more about them.


Dating, in general, can be confusing and tricky for people, especially those that feel pressured to follow the social norms. Even if you're not new to the dating world, first dates can still be nerve-wracking despite all the online conversations you've had together. In that regard, your first date is typically a make it or break it situation for both parties.

When you get past the awkwardness, however, and feel comfortable enough to crack a joke without feeling red all over, it's finally time to test the waters. It can be a murky mess trying to dive into your feelings on your first date - some may find it easy as both have instantly felt a spark, while others may need more time to develop strong chemistry as your date wants to take it slow.

So, if you're wondering if you'll be giving a thumbs up or down on that second date, we've got you covered! The hints below should help steer you in the right direction, and hopefully, will turn that pencil date into a pen on your calendar.

Hint #1: You enjoyed yourself

This should be a given, but one of the significant signs that you should say 'yes' to that second date is if you enjoyed the first date. There's no need to make it complicated and over-analyze what it looks like on paper - instead, focus on what you felt and thought during your time with them. After all, you can't wholly judge someone's character in just one meeting, so don't put pressure on yourself when you feel unsure whether or not you like that person. Tune in to your emotions, and if you find yourself grinning from ear to ear at the thought of that night, then you're off to a good start.

Hint #2: Your conversation flowed well

Communication is the key to a healthy relationship, and while there's no rush, establishing a good sense of connection between the two of you on the first go is essential as it will determine how your relationship will progress.

In that regard, be sure to be aware of how he communicates with you. Is he assertive? Does he listen to you attentively? Is he enthusiastic about answering your questions honestly, and follows up with more questions?

You should know if the person is an excellent communicator or not as early as the first date because it will indicate how the person will fare later in the relationship. To that end, if you found your conversation engaging and flowing seamlessly, then perhaps the thought of a second date is just around the corner.

Hint #3: You feel comfortable with the other person

It's only natural to have a few moments of awkwardness on your first date, but if you realize that it's easy to break the ice and dive right into hearty conversations, then you're on the right track! Many people may think that feeling too comfortable during your first date means that the person may be better off as a friend, but feeling safe early in the relationship is a positive sign that you two have commonalities worth exploring deeper together.
