Men of Reddit: What are some signs to look for to see if a first date went well?

18 comments

1. Fuck guessing games. Just message after and say you had a good time and ask if she’d be interested in meeting up again soon.

   If she says yes she is interested.

2. If you get a second date, yea the first went well.

3. By default I assume it went well, because why wouldn’t she enjoy my company. I don’t put much thought into it beyond that.

4. If they inquire about seeing you again as the date ends, they want to see you again. If they just say bye and leave rather curtly, I would take that as no interest.

5. If shes making you breakfast!

6. There’s a second date on your calendar!

7. The other person saying “Hey, I’d like to do that again sometime.”

8. Ask him out for a 2nd date. If he says yes you’re golden.

   EDIT

   You should’ve put in your post that you’re a woman (or use a flair) because the guys in the subreddit are going to assume that you’re asking what signs they see from a woman that the date went well instead of the other way around.

9. There isnt. Ive been super kind to women i found unattractive. Ur sign is after a couple of weeks if he seems disengaged and doesnt offer a second date move on.

10. She tries to pay the bill or offers to split it

11. Did she offer anal on the first date? If no it did not go well.

12. just keep wanting to see you

13. Personally, if I have a first date that goes well, I don’t waste any time planning the next one. Either at the end of the first date or in the day or two after.

    Assuming the guy doesn’t work a super busy job (e.g., a doctor), you should take his excitement for a second date to be a gauge of his interest. Guys who are interested will offer plans (even if they don’t work out with your schedule). The ones who are noncommittal about such plans are probably trying to send a signal.

    Nothing wrong with the woman asking for the second date. But she better have ideas.

14. As a man
    I personally would go radio silent for a couple days to see if you reached out at all

15. Had a woman hump my knee on a first date once, I took it as a sign that it went ok. We have been married for almost 3 years now.

16. She says “fuck me”

17. He didn’t file a restraining order against you.

18. That thing women are always harping about… what was it? Ah yes, communication. Be 100% straightforward with your communication with him, and you’ll learn all you need to know.
