We are extremely close to shutting down this thread for the same reasons the PUA thread was shut down. While some of the time this thread contains actual discussion with people asking help and people giving nice advice, it often gets derailed by rubbish that should not be here. The moderation team will be trying to steer this thread in a different direction from now on. Posts of the following nature are banned: 1) ANYTHING regarding PUA. If your post contains the words 'alpha' or 'beta' or anything of that sort please don't hit post. 2) Stupid brags. You can tell us about your nice success stories with someone, but posts such as 'lol 50 Tinder matches' are a no-no. 3) Any misogynistic bullshit, including discussion about rape culture. 4) One night stands and random sex. These are basically brags that invariably devolve into gender role discussions and misogynistic comments. Last chance, guys. This thread is for dating advice and sharing dating stories. While gender roles, sociocultural norms, and our biological imperative to reproduce are all tangentially related, these subjects are not the main purpose of the thread. Please AVOID these discussions. If you want to discuss them at length, go to PMs or start a blog. If you disagree with someone's ideologies, state that you disagree with them and why they won't work from a dating standpoint and move on. We will not tolerate any lengthy derailments that aren't directly about dating. | ||

I still tried to make a move, but she recoiled and said that she wasn't into me. She wasn't being nasty about it, and it doesn't bother me too much. Tomorrow I have a Tinder date and Saturday I'm meeting a girl with whom I used to study, so I have two more chances to redeem myself this year. What a strange thing to do. Add random person on facebook, meet up, and proceed to do nothing. Are your facebook pictures much better than the reality or something? | ||

But it's an honest photograph, because I don't know how to work with Photoshop. I don't want to dwell on it; I have another date lined up tomorrow and I don't want to take a hit to my confidence now. | ||

I'm an idiot in that it involves a relative distance and two packed schedules and me having pretty much broken down mentally (hell I've barely even been on here), but figured it was worth a shot! | ||

Met her at a LAN I was running down in Dublin and casting, she was doing the photos and got chatting to her more and more after initially bugging her for the footage. Met up on a date in all but name down there subsequently and she treated me to dinner, sightseeing and a few drinks, was great actually.

I asked her out to the christmas-market were we bought some tea and went to my place couple of minutes later to try it out. We had lots of fun she kept talking and laughing and after three hours she had to leave because the two of us have to get up realy early tomorrow and I have a ton of work to do. Before she left she agreed to watch "What we do in the shadows" with me at my place sometime and said sth. like "Thank you very much for the nice evening". Yet I have a bad conscience because I did not kiss her. Think I missed an opportunity there. :-/ | ||

I hate it when guys try to kiss me on a first date, and a lot of my friends hate it too. Speaking of things I hate on dates, someone posted earlier about a date where he was treated to dinner and drinks and whatnot. I've dumped guys who let me pay for everything, so it may not have gone as well as you thought. Going Dutch is fine, I'm even fine with paying for almost the entire date if it's after the third date and there are circumstances, but that would be a huge red flag to me. Btw, it should be fairly obvious if you've read this far, but I am a woman (yay for credibility)! Just so there are no misunderstandings. | ||

Besides you dont know how it happened. Maybe she insisted on paying. Its not like it would have been better if he had gotten angry and told her to put back her goddamn wallet and let the man pay. Right? | ||

It's usually not even that big a deal. Happy meals are so cheap nowadays they can afford it! | ||

Whenever I had physical contact, I would unfailingly get a second date, whereas if I didn't at least kiss her, I'd get the 'this has been so nice, see you never!'.

On the kissing/not kissing debate regarding first dates, I know I've never personally got a second one without that, or at least some kind of physical escalation | ||

Even if they dont like the kiss. They "respect" (insert better word here) that you went for it. | ||

Actually my biggest weakness in these matters, super terrible at kissing someone for the first time. Once I have that, future spontaneous kissing is fine, or parts beyond but Jesus I find it super awkward. | ||
