How to Ask for a Second Date

So, you enjoyed your first date and your are looking forward to the second one. As an old adage goes, one good turn deserves another. But before you go ahead and make that call, there are several things that you should consider and take note so that you won't end up getting jilted or getting the wrong idea when asking for a second date:

1. What's good for you may not good for your partner

You thought that your date last night went very well, and you thought you definitely saw some chemistry and would like to have a second date. But what if your date does not feel the same way? What if he or she thought that there were no sparks, and worse, no need for a second date, even if you parted ways well and there was tightness in the parting hug? Consider the possibility of not having a second date so you will be prepared for whatever response you will get. That's exactly why you're asking for it, not assuming that it would automatically happen.

2. If you ask for it, go straight to the point and quit the small talk.

Be straightforward and tell your date that you thought your previous encounter went well and see if you can have a second one. No need to reminisce and give a rundown of the details of the precious date. Trips down the memory lane and chit-chat are opportunities for awkward silences and a possibility for your date to realize that maybe, the previous date wasn't really that great. So, quit the chatter and get to asking. Good luck and may your second date be better than the first one.
