Dating Tip #102: Always Schedule Two Dates... because dating can be stressful. Having two dates back to back increases your changes of having at least one good date; thus, you won't give up on dating all together. Elizabeth's story:
I had posted a date on HowAboutADate.com the week before, sifted through the numerous responses and ended with two "dates." I was very excited to meet both guys, based our few email exchanges. The Sunday guy flatly turned me down after our one hour coffee meeting. Fine, because I was not attracted to him very much, although he was ok. But still, I was a bit demoralized and destabilized.
So what's the point of going to my Monday evening date, the odds are, it's not going to work neither, and I'm getting sick and I'm feeling exhausted, and I have to find a parking spot, and I'm going to spend money again at the restaurant, and I'll get home late...
But then I thought, just go do it. You never know until you go and find out, and it's difficult enough to get a date with someone who you are at least interested in his profile and photo.
Well, things went very well. He paid for dinner (I left the tip though because I am not a complete mooch). To me, him paying for dinner is a sign of respect and that he's interested in me and he has manners - I'm old-fashioned. He offered to pick me up after work and drive me back to BART1 if we meet after work in the future.
Wow, so refreshing! Guys are not all like that. I like him for what I've seen and heard so far. We're seeing each other next Saturday. Wish me luck!
