A guide to post-first date relationship success

Getting ready for a first date is an exciting opportunity! When you use the expert matchmaking services here at eLove, you’re sure to find someone you’re compatible with—which makes it easy to share great conversations. After a wonderful first date, you’ll certainly want to schedule a second. These tips can help you achieve post-first date relationship success:

  • Let your date know that you enjoyed yourself. Even if you had an excellent time with your date, he or she may not know until you speak up! It’s easy to feel at least a little bit nervous on a first date, making it more difficult to determine whether the other person is having a good time or not. Before pursuing a second date, it’s important that both parties agree that they enjoyed spending time together. When you get home, you can send your date a simple and sweet email explaining that you had a great time. This will let your date know where the two of you stand and help him or her get excited for a second date.
  • Determine the best ways to communicate. An after-date email is a great way to let your date know that you had fun, but it isn’t the only way to communicate! It’s important to call the person that you’re interested in when trying to plan a second date. Emailing and text messaging is great for quick messages, but you should stick to calling when arranging a get-together.
  • Plan a fun second date. The only way to start a new relationship is to keep going on dates! After a successful first date, consider trying something a little more spontaneous or adventurous for your second date—this will give you a chance to see each other’s wild sides.

If you’re still waiting for that perfect first date, contact the team here at eLove. Our online dating experts can find a compatible match for you! Visit us online or call us at (888) 285-9704 to learn more.

      Let’s see I went on blind date in Fall of 2003, was older than you by quite a few years, still with the guy, and still single. Two of my best ndeifrs didn’t meet their Mr. Rights until they were late 30s, early 40s; third one is still looking, in her 40s, and struggling like you are with the eDating world. Even without all the cr*p you have survived, these fabulous ladies needed to take their time. You have a right to take your time if that is what you want or need. Be true to the LADY that you are.

      1. Being non-single is okay, too.As sooemne who has felt the pain of being single and feeling unwanted, I find it a refreshing change to finally be with sooemne who is a good person and makes me happy. I don’t shove my non-singleness on other people, but I don’t like being shunned for being non-single, too (not that you are). I’m happy for myself. This is a good thing. Whatever way people want to be is fine with me, but ultimately everyone should be happy with themselves, and if they’re not happy (single or taken), that’s when they should re-examine their situation.Anywho I liked this.

      What to do if your lover can’t communicate?I really need your help. My lover and I have been together for almost 1 year and only had problems 4 times. But each time, it’s been disastrous. It seems that she over-interprets everything I tell her and turns it into the biggest thing in the world. Today, I simply asked her why she has not been very responsive to me sexually lately? Well, she hit the roof. Here I am feeling hurt about the situation, and she turns on the attack mode. Eventually, she stormed out with her bags (she was going to spend the whole weekend with me). She carries a lot of baggage from her last long relationship, meaning the few times I’ve expressed my disappointment about something, she turns it all around to be all about her (ex. she can never make someone happy). Meanwhile she makes me very happy (and I let her know that and show her that in the most loving ways) So last weekend, when I expressed a small concern to her in a very gentle and loving way, she ends up telling me the next day that she stayed up till 4:00am thinking about it and writing me a letter. A day later it comes out that she had actually been considering ending our relationship because she felt that she couldn’t make me happy. She only told me because I asked her about it. We talked and then she sent me a very sweet email about rebuilding my trust in her. I told her that it is something she needn’t do alone that it is something I need to work on, too. So, just 3 days later, after a beautiful evening together, she storms out on me over a piddly-diddly thing. Right now, I’m feeling that our days as lovers might be numbered. I love her so much, and she loves me immensely, too. I’m afraid that her terrible communication skills are going to be the ruin of our relationship. I’m at the point that I feel I can’t tell her anything without her getting all upset and turning it into a big pity party for herself. So, what should I do now? She is at work and I don’t know what to do or say to her when she calls me later or asks to come over.I know communication is a two-way street. But when I tell her very lovingly My feelings are hurt, because and she just blows up on me, I really feel like not telling her anything about what I’m feeling anymore. I know that wouldn’t help our relationship at all, but that’s just how I’m feeling right now.So, what shall I do now to make things better again? What do you say to a lover who has such poor communication skills?

      Some of this may be uainfr, it would be like me saying don’t listen to your single friends, they want you single like them. The hope is that you have better friends than that, friends that actually encourage your happiness and if you don’t then I think you shouldn’t be friends with them. No one likes a hater. Now I’m getting married for a second time and have a single friend. When I was married I didn’t give much dating advice cause you’re right I knew crap about dating after being with someone so long and I was in a unhappy marriage but that doesn’t mean I wanted my friend unhappy. I was trying to figure stuff out and without my single friend, I may not have had the courage to leave the marriage. Did that mean she wanted me single? Of course not, she wanted me happy and now that I’ve found someone who does that, she’s happy for me. Now, I’m trying to help her get out and date again b/c I do now have some experience dating and dating at later age which is different than dating when you’re 20. She wants someone I want to help her find someone. But really if you ‘friend’ single or married and they are taking their choice and rubbing it in your face, that ain’t much of a friend.

      My husband and I met on match.com. And he iltsed his status there as never been married. I found out on our third date that that was um, not so much true, as he was actually a TAINTED DIVORCEE (much like Tenley). I mean, it was fine, they were married for 6 months, and they didn’t have any kids. But he also knew that mentioning his divorce straight off might’ve given me a different impression of him. So I think what I’m saying is that I think the bipolar thing could be maybe a 2nd or 3rd date mention. And if it DOES put a guy off, well then, they’re clearly not worth it.
