Have had a few dates with pretty hot girls (from tinder) recently. Although I thought they went okay, no long awkward silences or really awful moments, they all end with the girl saying it's late and just going home and not texting me back.

At first I thought it was just the girls I was dating, but it's happened enough now that I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong.

Has anyone got any tips on escalation beyond the general chit chat, good locations and times to go on dates (I'm from London but I'm poor as fuck).

Or just general experiences that went well??
